First off, it seems like now that we’re in mid-July, no matter where you live there is sun! So, here are my 2 nieces and my mighty nephew to say happy summer! They are enjoying free slurpees from 7-11 day. If that doesn’t say summer, I don’t know what does! 😀
With that said, it’s time you all knew- I’m a HUGE Gilmore Girls fan. I didn’t get into it until the show was nearly off the air, but I remember both my mother and sister enjoying it too. Every fall I love to curl up and watch a season on dvd (but sadly I sold all my seasons to come to Japan 🙁 ).
For this blog entry, there’s only one thing you need to know. The sitcom’s protagonist, Rory Gilmore, LOVES to read.
And this adorable fan made video:
So my interest was piqued when my sister discovered a fun book list- every single book read or mentioned being read by Rory Gilmore on the complete series of the Gilmore Girls!
Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge
Oh, this list excites me. Some of these books I’ve read in high school and college, some I’ve always wanted to read, some I have zero interest in reading. But I plan to chip away at it this summer. I don’t think I’ll ever read all these books, but it’s a fun little project! I’m currently reading Pride & Prejudice and Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers.
AND! To make this ever greater, found some great deals if you have a Barnes & Noble Nook and want to work on this challenge! Barnes & Noble offers 25 classic books for 99 cents! Fantastic deal!
So you know what I’ll be up to this summer. If any of you have a goodreads.com account, feel free to add me!
Clever Clip of Rory’s love of books! And the slurpies and those little faces just adorable. Nathan seems to have the same expression in his car seat!
Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes! I’m a big Gilmore Girls fan (I’m a little bit careful who I admit that to, mind you) and have it on DVD. Can’t believe how young Rory looks in that first picture. And I’m definitely up for the challenge, although if I’m not much mistaken she’s reading a different book in every episode, so this may take a lifetime…
I feel like I should tell you… I had Jim download me every season… so we can watch it whenever you want when you come visit! We’ll find the episodes that mention the books you’re reading this summer!
