Booking Through Thursday: Repeats

What’s the first book that you ever read more than once? (I’m assuming there’s at least one.)

- I’ve re-read the Westmoreland Series of Judith Mcnaught so many times I can repeat the dialogues without problems. The first book was Whitney, my Love naturally which is the first Westmoreland novel featuring Whitney and Clay. Although some of my friends had a love and hate relationship with this book, I wholeheartedly adored it. I love how powerful Clayton was and yet when it comes to loving someone, he’s willing to humble himself. We would even sometimes play the villain just to make Whitney look like a hero to her gossiping neighbors.

What book have you read the most times? And–how many?

- Aside from the Westmoreland series (Whitney, My Love and Until You), I’ve also read Something Wonderful, Perfect, Paradise, Once and Always, Something Wonderful and Almost Heaven more than 4x-5x.

- There’s also Nick Bantock’s Griffin and Sabine Trilogy (10x) which I will never get tired of re-visiting. Emily Griffin’s Something Borrowed/Blue (3x). The Twilight Saga (4x). Kinsella’s Can You Keep a Secret (3x). Dumas’ Count of Monte Cristo (2x) and plenty more light reads that I can read for one to two days.

Thank God for Ebooks

Yes, I still find time to read thanks to the power of electronic books. The list of titles that I’ve read (and in Twilight’s case, re-read) in the last couple of weeks:

1. The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
2. The Host by Stephenie Meyer
3. Eleven Minutes by Paolo Coehlo
4. Bridget Jones Diary (I can’t believe I never tried to read this before)
5. Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot
6. Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas (just started)
7. 32 AA by Michelle Cunnah

They are all light reads because I only read them when I’m putting my daughter to sleep or when trying to fall asleep myself. I have no time to read paperbacks now but I most certainly will in one week when we hit the beach. Yeah baby!
