You and I are on the same wavelength! I am also having a re-read summer. But make it Jane Austen? 😂 I started with Pride and Prejudice, and then hit such a groove I went right into Sense and Sensibility, then Emma, then moved on to the Brontës with Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. All were my faves in my early 20s and here 10 years later I am re-reading and loving them even more? I think part of it is just high anxiety over the state of the world, and I’m finding tremendous comfort in losing myself in re-reads. I think next I might move to Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series again, which is one of my all-time favorites. And side note—I also just finished Atmosphere and texted my sister, “I feel exactly the same way about it as I did about Carrie Soto—good, but not great.” Thanks for your post, I’ve been eying The Interestings for a long time!
I've re-read a few books in my time. The Harry Potter series, Bridget Jones's Diary, Pride and Prejudice... but I usually just move on to the next book!

I have always thought about getting into the Louise Penny books - maybe this is my nudge!
