So, recently I was looking for a new series to watch during the autumn months as I have practically exhausted every series I could think of, and so all of my friends (who know me so well know exactly the kind of shows I like), recommended Gilmore Girls to me. They said I would love it, and it’s safe to say that they were 100% correct.
Though I’ve heard her character is controversial, I absolutely love Rory. I think it’s so wonderful to have a smart and bookish female character at the forefront of a TV show, and I identify with her in so many ways. I wish that I had discovered the show earlier, because I feel like it would have be wonderful to have seen it during my own teenage years.
Anyway, as I said, Rory is a big old bookworm and there are a total of 518 books featured throughout the course of the show. Considering this show takes place over 7 years this is both a marvellous feat, but also not entirely unobtainable (as Rory probably read most of them for her classes etc.)
To be perfectly honest, I should have read at least half of these as I gained a degree in English Literature at University, and the majority of these I can distinctly remember being on my readings lists (marked by a *). But, I feel like at university you have no time to properly read and really appreciate them, and so I barely read any books at all during the three years of my course. (Shameful to admit, but true. I ended up skim reading most books to find important and notable information rather than actually reading them cover to cover.)
Thus, for the same reason as my reading backlists, I have complied a list of every single book Rory reads/mentions throughout the entirety of Gilmore Girls so that I can not only attempt to read them all and update my progress with you, but share them here in case you would like to read them also!
Books that I have no interest in read (ie. textbooks) will be marked with a ❌.
Books that I DNF will be marked with a 🚫.
