Bookish Question: When a new book in a series comes out...

And you push it back and then you realize it's been like a year since you pushed it back, enough time to not completely remember what was happening in the first place, or a new book comes out from a series you like but you don't really remember some details of the book before or the series in general because it's a long series, do you read the book and figure the details will come to you or do you just choose to re-read from book one and get caught up in the story line again?

Jealousy (Strange Angels, #3) Defiance (Strange Angels, #4)

I have both these problems right now. On one hand I have had The Strange Angels book #3 and 4, Jealousy (out in 2010) and Defiance (out in 2011), on my shelf  for ages and I wanted to finally get to them and read them, but by now I don't really remember every detail in the story because it's been a long time coming.

Lost in Time (Blue Bloods, #6)

On the other hand I just bought Lost in Time (Blue Bloods #6) by Melissa De La cruz and I kind of think I should re read it all just so I have all the stories straight since it's a pretty long series and I am sure some sort of detail must have escaped my mind by now.

If you were in my position, and I am sure at one time or another you have been in this position, what would you choose to do? Re-read the series or just go ahead and read the book and get caught up as you read?
