Do you reread books or are you done with them once you’ve read them?

I like to reread books sometimes! Rereading is especially good if I’ve just finished something heavy or intense; I can follow that up with something that I’ve enjoyed before so it doesn’t take too much effort and I can have a bit of a break. I also don’t have the greatest retention for what I read, so even if I’ve read something before there’s no way I’ll remember everything. And there are certain books that are comforting and cozy and those are great to reread when I want that kind of mood.

Very very rarely. I don't really re-consume media at all though. I don't particularly enjoy rewatching movies unless they are my absolute favorites. I don't like rewatching shows. I easily get burnt out on music, and will even go months without listening to my favorites because I've heard them too much.

I love to read, but I'm much more likely to find a new book than re-read one.
