May's Reading Challenge for the Rory Gilmore Book Club

Published 19 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

This May, in my book club, The Rory Gilmore Book Club, we are reading "popular" books from the Gilmore Girls book list.

This prompt was a reader request, and I think it’s a great one. Part of what inspired me to take the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge myself was to read all the popular books I had missed out on when the show aired and I was busy with schoolwork. I want to understand all the references!

On the blog are ten books popular generally AND with members of our book club that I have personally enjoyed. Check them out here.

I've pulled Life of Pi off my bookshelf, and I hope I like it!

Remember, it's a good day to read a book.

-Jules

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! Want to know how I decompress when the weekend hits? (Besides wine) My Friday night happy hour routine is pairing an audiobook or book adaptation with an at-home mani. Right now, I'm finishing up A Gentleman in Moscow on Paramount Plus. It's one of my all-time favorite books and the adaptation is exactly how I pictured everything. This week, my transition into the weekend is extra special because Olive & June's Summer 2024 collection has been released! The nautical...

Hi Reader, I'm about to start updating all my summer reading blog posts, which got me thinking about reading during this seasonal transition time. Abby Jimenez's latest bestselling book is my top summer beach read so far: The GMA Book Club pick Just for the Summer is light, quirky, and romantic. It's also not too spicy, and the characters still deal with some real-life stuff (it's not just fluff). The good news is that her backlist contains similar novels with many character crossovers.
