Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Meeghan Reads — check out the next batch of upcoming topics here.
This week’s topic is Top 5 books I want to reread in 2025, with the prompt: Are you planning to reread some favourites in 2025? Maybe that classic you read back in school. Or maybe there’s a new book coming out in a series, and you want to remind yourself what happened in the last book. Whatever it is, let’s share all of our reread plans!!
I have at least two rereads that I’m firmly committed to, and while there are a bunch that are maybes for me, I’ll share a few that seem most likely.
My five are:
1: Dracula by Bram Stoker: This is my most recent Classics Club spin book, and I’m committed to reading it by April. I originally read this book back in my school days, but that was eons ago!
2: The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien: My book group will be reading this book in April, prior to launching into a lengthy group read of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I’m excited to read The Hobbit again! I’ve read it several times, most recently with one of my kids, and I’m looking forward to experiencing it all over again.
3: Wolfsong by TJ Klune: It’s no secret that I adored the Green Creek series when I read it recently, and I’ve been wanting to do an audiobook reread. I’m not sure that I’ll get through the whole series right away, but I’d like to at least listen to the first book.
4 & 5: Two October Daye books: Sleep No More and The Innocent Sleep by Seanan McGuire: Books 17 and 18 in this phenomenal series — telling the same story from two different perspectives — were released one month apart in 2023. Now, finally, the next book is on the way! Book #19, Silver and Lead, will be released in September 2025. It’s been my habit to reread the previous books before each new release in the series, and especially with two years in between installments, I think it will be absolutely essential this time around!

Do you plan to reread any books in 2025?
Bookshelf Fantasies 
I totally agree about Dracula!
I’m excited to reread it!
Wolfsong! 100% yes!
I’m just waiting for the right moment to get started!
Oh that’s so funny, I had both Dracula and The Hobbit on my TopTenTuesday list today. I’d love to make time to reread them, Dracula is one of my favorites.
It’s been such a long time for me since I read Dracula, and I’ve been thinking about rereading it for year!
The Green Creek series is on my list for sure😁
I’ve been wanting to reread the series since the second I finished the last book! 🙂
Ooh…Dracula is a good one. I wouldn’t mind rereading that one myself. I also want to reread A Separate Peace this year, and Ready Player One because my cousin is going to make that the theme of his Halloween party this year. ;D
Oh, how fun about the Halloween party! I should really read A Separate Peace — I think it’s one that was somehow not included on my reading lists in school, but I know the rest of my family has read it!
I hope you enjoy your rereads. Dracula is one of the few classics that I’ve actually read. I owned a copy for years – I brought it to flick through one day when I was in desperate need of a distraction and there weren’t many books to pick from- and when I visited Whitby I made sure to finally read it, knowing part of it was set there 😂 I’ve heard good things about the Wolf series and I tend to reread previous books in series too, I find the refresher helpful. I hope you enjoy all of these, as well as the next Installment in the October series.
Thank you! I’m really excited for Dracula! (Well, for all of these, but that one first!)
