Books I Wish I Could Read (Again) For The First Time
I'm not the type of person to revisit the same book, at least not often. With so many new books coming to market, my TBR list has been growing at a rapid pace and I can never find the time for a re-read.
On a recent bookstore crawl, I was reminded of a few favourites. See below a list of books that have made a lasting impression. These are the ones I wish I could read (again) for the very first time.
