Question: Do you ever re-read favorite books by other authors for fun?
Answer: Nope! I can’t remember the last time I re-read a book by another author for fun.
Why not? A big part of it is how many times I have to read – and re-read and re-read (!) – my own books.
For example, I think I’ve read Only Cold Depths, Galactic Bonds #4, about seven times now from start to finish, and I am thoroughly sick of it. LOL. After reading through the same book over and over, the last thing I want to do is re-read another book, even if it’s by another author and I absolutely loved the book when I first read it.
I used to re-read books all the time when I was a kid, especially things like The Baby-Sitters Club and Sweet Valley High. But as an adult, I hardly ever re-read. Why not? Mainly because I have more than 1,000 ebooks waiting on my tablet that I’ve never read before.
I also don’t rewatch a lot of movies/TV shows. Again, mainly because there are sooo many new movies/shows to stream all the time. On the rare occasions I do rewatch something, it’s usually just a favorite episode or a really cool fight scene. It is a very rare movie/show that I love enough to rewatch the whole thing again.
What about you all? Do you re-read favorite books? Why or why not?
Only Cold Depths, Galactic Bonds #4, will be out Oct. 29. The ebooks are online now, and the print and audiobooks will go online later this summer. Thank you for reading.

A WOMAN WHO CAN’T CONTROL HER POWER . . .
Everyone knows the name Vesper Quill. I used to be a lowly lab rat working in a Regal-owned corporation, but thanks to my truebond with Kyrion Caldaren, I’m now one of the most wanted fugitives in the Archipelago Galaxy.
Kyrion and I have spent the last few weeks avoiding bounty hunters, along with the Arrows, the elite Imperium warriors tasked with capturing us. Now we’ve journeyed to a distant planet that’s supposed to be a refuge for truebonded couples, but when new enemies appear, we’re once again in grave danger.
As a seer, inventor, and engineer, I’m skilled at figuring out how things work, but I can’t quite understand my growing magic and newfound psionic abilities. The clock is ticking, and if I don’t figure out how to tap into my power, I’ll doom myself to a gruesome fate, along with Kyrion.
A MAN WHO CAN’T LET GO OF HIS FEAR . . .
As Kyrion Caldaren, I’m used to being respected and feared, especially given my telekinesis, telepathy, telempathy, and other powerful psionic abilities. What I’m not used to is being on the run, but as a rogue Arrow, I’ll do anything to protect Vesper.
Just when I think we’ve finally reached a safe haven, trouble finds us again, reigniting all my fears about losing Vesper.
When the cold depths of our enemies’ plan are finally revealed, the truth is more terrifying than anything I could imagine. Soon Vesper and I are fighting for our lives again, but even with our growing truebond power, this is one battle we might not survive.
