Must the questioner re-observe the days she fasted, or only the day she felt something exit—not knowing whether it was madhiy or not—while she was reading a novel, given that she used to fast during menstruation and follows the Maliki school of thought?

If the narration arouses desire, then what is emitted is madhiy (pre-seminal fluid), which invalidates the fast according to the Malikis and necessitates making up the day. However, the we adhere to is that the emission of madhiy does not invalidate the fast, and your fast is valid, and you do not have to make up the day.
