Some books haven&#8217;t been really great, but a lot have been. So many stories have occupied my mind long after reading them, for the characters or the lyrical writing or something I can&#8217;t quite put my finger on. But it&#8217;s not very often I go back and re-read them. In fact, off the top of my head, I can only think of two books I&#8217;ve re-read. Well, four I guess, but three are of the same series.<\/p>\n<p>The first I thought about was Diane Gabaldon&#8217;s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Outlander-Novel-Book-1-ebook\/dp\/B000FC2L1O\/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1AB8I6E1NYKW0&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=outlander+book+1&amp;qid=1594151999&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=Outlander%2Cdigital-text%2C253&amp;sr=1-3\">Outlander<\/a><\/em>. I did love that book! The romance was strong, the historical aspect was interesting, and then (of course!) there was James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser. He&#8217;s what kept calling me back, not Claire, the witch, with her nose in the air. I also re-read books 2 and 3, when a friend and I decided to read the entire series. I still have not read the final book (is there an actual final book out?) because I don&#8217;t want Jamie to die. I was ready for Claire to die by the end of book 4, to tell the truth, but that&#8217;s neither here nor there.<\/p>\n<p>The other book that came to mind is one by Emma Holly called <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Demons-Daughter-Tales-demon-world-ebook\/dp\/B000OCXG1E\/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&amp;keywords=emma+holly+the+demon%27s+daughter&amp;qid=1594152074&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-2\">The Demon&#8217;s Daughter<\/a><\/em>. I absolutely lost myself in that book!!

In fact\u2026I kinda want to read it again now.<\/p>\n<p>I just finished reading Ed Hoornaert&#8217;s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Saint-Quarantine-Island-novel-future-ebook\/dp\/B088NM26G7\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=O16CX1WH3NCZ&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=the+saint+of+quarantine+island&amp;qid=1594152121&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=the+saint+of+quarantine%2Cstripbooks%2C228&amp;sr=1-1\">The Saint of Quarantine Island<\/a><\/em>, and I think it has the quality of a book I could read again. There&#8217;s so much happening and so many quirks and twists that I think I could discover things the second time around that I might have missed the first. I really enjoyed it!<\/p>\n<p>And I could also re-read Jan Selbourne&#8217;s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Perilous-Love-Jan-Selbourne-ebook\/dp\/B07BDN985Q\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=jan+selbourne+perilous+love&amp;qid=1594152177&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-1\">Perilous Love<\/a><\/em> (or <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Behind-Clouds-Jan-Selbourne-ebook\/dp\/B017NSKITO\/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&amp;keywords=jan+selbourne+behind+the+clouds&amp;qid=1594152209&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-3\">Behind the Clouds<\/a><\/em> if you prefer a cover without the naked chest!) In that book, Jan wrote a real love story\u2014more than a romance\u2014and set it against the opening chords of WWI. It is very exciting, and she brought the romance out slowly but surely.
