The Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge
Stars Hollow sweetheart Rory Gilmore is the epitome of book worm. Never seen without a paperback in hand, her quiet intelligence won the hearts of many when Gilmore Girls first aired 20 (!!) years ago. She left teenagers across the country idolising her quirky sense of humour and lusting after her never-ending rotation of classic novels.
A few years ago, Australian writer Patrick Lenton compiled the ultimate reading list, including every book that was referenced in the Gilmore Girls series. He hoped to read each one himself, as his goal has inspired many to do the same!
Here is the full list of books:
- by George Orwell

- Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

- An American Tragedyby Theodore Dreiser

I hereby declare that I am embarking on The Gilmore Girls Reading Challenge with my daughter.
Even after watching The Gilmore Girls four times, the show still amazes me, and it has been one of the many shows that have influenced my writing as it was part of my coming-of-age experience.
My daughter with the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge books from our home library. My ten-year-old daughter and I recently finished re-watching The Gilmore Girls for the second time together. She was about seven years old the first time around, and I love that she adores the show just as much as I do. This time around, we began jotting down notes of movies and books mentioned, and so we began our Rory Gillmore literary and film journey.
I had already read quite a few of these books, watched many of the movies growing up, and we have lots of the books on our bookshelves, since I had made my older sons read several of them over the years, insisting that they needed to read the classics to understand the world we live in. As a family, we read the entire Little House of the Prairie series, one chapter at a time, one Friday at a time over several years, and we read
