Reading Revisited 2024-2025

The Short List

Welcome to Reading Revisited, a place for friends to enjoy some good old-fashioned book chat while revisiting the truth, beauty, and goodness we’ve found in our favorite books.

Hello Readers,

Welcome to the new year of books here at Reading Revisited! We hope you find some new favorites and enjoy reading and discussing as a community!

This list is a more condensed version of the Book Drop Day posts. If you’d like a more thorough introduction then go check out those posts as well!

Please let me know if you’d like more information about finding or starting a group. We also have a virtual community if you’d like to join that before committing to leading your own group.

Don’t forget that we still have three more books left for the 2023-2024 reading year so please go check that list out and join us this summer. There is never a bad time to start reading good books!
