Hi all! I hope you're having a good week so far! I really enjoyed the two new memes I joined last week, so I'm going to stick with them again this week, I hope you enjoy! First up, we have: Tell Me Something Tuesday which is a weekly discussion post on Rainy Day Ramblings where a wide range of topics are discussed from books to blogging. This week's topic is 'For those who don’t have time to reread series, what would you reread when you found the time?' I'm one of those people who loves to re-read books but in between running a business, being a mum, running my blog and trying to have some semblance of a normal life (yeah, right), I don't get to do this as often as I'd like. I used to re-read The Night Circus (featured below) by Erin Morgenstern religiously each year. It was the first book I buddy read with my partner and we both fell in love with it. Each time I read it I feel like I uncover some new secret as I'm transported back to the mysterious circus, but I just haven't had time to do it the past two years and it's looking unlikely this year too. Since my daughter is now four, I've been re-reading some of my childhood favourites to her. We've been working our way through a range of Brother's Grimm fairy tales alongside a book called The Dragon's Eye. I can't wait until she's ready for me to read Harry Potter with her as I've been waiting to re-read the series for years!! Other than those few books, the only other books I re-read are shorter contemporary romances, books I know I love and can read quickly, usually in just a few hours to put me in a good mood. These books are limited to three of my favourite romance authors; Tara Sivec, Sophie Jordan and R.L. Mathewson. Their books always make me smile. What about you? What would you reread when you had the time? Up next is the First Chapter, First Paragraph - Tuesday Intros meme. This is a weekly blog meme hosted by Vicki, from I’d Rather Be At The Beach and the idea is to post the first paragraph (or two) of the first chapter of a book you are currently reading or that you want to read. To fit with the topic of Tell Me Something Tuesday, I've chosen to share the first chapter of one of my all time favourite rereads, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
What do you think? Would you/have you read this?

Thanks Diane :) it's one of my favourites! I'm currently re-reading The Gateway Chronicles. The series is getting an update this summer with some expanded scenes so it get to review them again too. I usually re-read one series during the summer but it wasn't looking like it would be possible until now. Other favorite series to re-read is Harry Potter and All Souls Trilogy. See what I'm featuring at <a href=https://www.girl-who-reads.com/2018/08/four-funerals-and-maybe-wedding-by-rhys.html>Girl Who Reads</a>

Haha, I guess it didn't make much of an impression then Vicki 7/8/2018 17:39:57
I have not read this series at all, nor have I heard of it. What genre does this fit into? I am interested in this book just by the 1st paragraph. I will have to put this on my TBR!

It's fantasy Tammy :) it has an amazing mystery quality to it too. If you like Caraval, I'd really recommend this!

Thanks Heidi :) I'm really loving being a part of this meme!! I haven't tried the audio book, I think I love reading the paperback too much, if that makes sense. Happy reading :) 7/8/2018 20:49:36
I tried and failed to get into The Night Circus. I used to re-read books frequently but with reading for my blog I rarely do so now which is a shame as there is nothing more comforting than snuggling down with a book that you know and love

That's a shame Cleo, sorry it wasn't for you. Yeah, I wish I had more time to re-read! Comments are closed.
