OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Lovely Lea Roberts!

Greetings, music sloots, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday. Are you good at solving mysteries? Because DJ Li'l Scratch has a nice one today, and maybe you can help solve it. Be forewarned, it's a lot more complicated than his recent mystery, "Where's my stash?" or the one just after, "Seriously, where's my stash?" and the one following, "Im'a cut a bitch unless we find my stash."

  I was just chatting with a friend about "seasonal reads" - books that we'll return to during certain parts of the year to really get into the season. Fall often finds me picking up anything by Ray Bradbury or Salem's Lot by King (the ULTIMATE autumnal horror, IMO).  But then we discussed the notion of re-reading books in general. I know some people can read the same book 20 times and never tire of it! Other than those select few mood-reads, I have always struggled to re-read books. Do you have any books that you can revisit any time? Please share!
