Do any of you re-read books?
I don't mind re-reading a book by choice, but I do hate it when publishers change their book covers, and I think I have got my hands on something new to find that I have been duped.

I forget them too Margaret which is why I'm up and down to my bookshelves now! The Horse Whisperer I just remember gripping me from the start -the first chapter and the accident with the horses is brilliantly described.
I re-read a lot of favourites -my all time favourite romantic re-read is September by Rosamund Pilcher  I regularly read it in that month it follows on the story of one of the characters from the Shell-seekers. I also read another of hers around Christmas called Winter Solstice -both are what i consider to be "Comfort reading"!! They all live happily ever after...
