Overview

Have a five star read that you just can't stop thinking about? Love getting new recs for books but also feel overwhelmed by all the new books you just have to read? Well, this is the challenge for you.

My 5 star Re-Read challenge asks you to pick 12 of your most beloved books to re-read again each month starting January 2025. Twelve books total, all of which should be a 5 star book (or close to it) that you've already read!

This reading challenge forces us to return to the stories we were completely moved by AND helps reduce over-consumption by re-reading books we likely still own. It also helps us slow down and get out of the booktok/bookstagram rat race a bit. Our favorite books should never just be one and done, and this is the challenge to help you return to them again. 

I hope you enjoy!
