Re-Reading Problems

Hi everyone! (Slight Spoilers if you haven't read A Court of Mist & Fury)

So, I've got a goodreads reading challenge set for this year. It's 50 books, and I figured I could knock that out well before December. Until I received an email a few days ago, it was goodreads telling me I'm falling behind in my reading challenge. I was appalled because I know I can do it. My problem is I get feelings to start reading a book I've already finished. Whether it's a song playing, that reminds me of a certain book or just a phrase that's said. I get an itch and it can only be scratched by that book or book series. SO, Sarah J. Maas is releasing a new book that's part of A Court of Thorns And Roses in May. Therefore, I must reread the three books that come before it. Even though, I've re-read these books multiple times already. Before this happened, I was reading 3 books. They got put on hold so I could get my Feyre and Rhysand fix before May 1 comes. 

Let me tell ya, I've read A Court of Mist & Fury at least 6 times. I still get hung up on little things like it's the first time I'm reading it. Tamlin is just awful and Rhys and Feyre are just too cute. They're need to constantly have witty banter and brooding looks makes my day. No matter how many times I prepare for the ending of the book and that cliff hanger, I still get anxious for the final chapters and what will happen. I think knowing makes it worse than when I didn't know the first time around. I find myself having to stop what I'm reading and put it aside because I'm overcome with fear of knowing what's about to take place. Some people might not have that problem, but I get so immersed in the story that I'm attached to the characters. I don't know how I read this book and then turned around and waited a year or so before the next book came out and picked up where ACOMAF left it. Needless to say, I can't wait to see how the newest book will be!
