(I AM SO FAR BEHIND ALREADY)
my friend Laura and I are attempting to do the Rory Gilmore reading challenge! For those of you who don’t know, some crazy brilliant person put together a list of every single book mentioned in the ENTIRE run of Gilmore Girls. Our mission, is to read them. NOT ALL IN THIS ONE YEAR MIND YOU, that WOULD be insane. I don’t know that there is any official list to the RGC, but we got our list from HERE. The way we have chosen to “compete” this year is to read 50 books, or a total of 20,000 pages. If you’re interested – feel free to contact us on our Facebook Group . I’ve decided to document my progress here, and will link reviews as they are done.
