If there is something I love it’s Gilmore Girls! It’s just the perfect TV series for me!!

Rory Gilmore is an incredibly intelligent girl that loves to read and her dream was to take journalism in Harvard and travel the world! I would love to have her as my friend!

“I live in two worlds, one is a world of books”

During all series, they mention 339 books!
I got the list of books online from a site called List Challenges because apparently, it’s not a new thing but when I started seeing Gilmore Girls I just had the urge to check which books she read and I saw this! So, the challenge is to read as many as I can from that list!

Also in that site, you can mark the books you already read but I thought it would be easier to see here and have it always accessible! But I would recommend checking the site if you’re interested in this challenge because it gives you the cover of the books!

You can also find this challenge in a group on GoodReads here.

I will update this list every so often putting the books that I read on bold and make reviews on the books putting the links here!
