In honor of our queen Dolly Parton's tragic passing, I present to you, a list that includes books she has shared she loved, books that give me Dolly vibes, books she herself has written and books about her... basically just a big ol' Dolly appreciation list. Recommendations welcome!! In the meantime, pour one out for an icon, you'll catch me watching Steel Magnolias and sobbing. Rest in power, Dolly.

size matters for this list, all these classics are more than 400 pages long. they are THICK. suggestions welcome, i am a very generous interpreter of the term "classic" normally but i'm starting with the golden oldies

Books where the main characters have to travel a seemingly long distance to achieve their goals/quests. Travel is not exclusive to walking, this list also includes long distance travel by car, boat, train, and even spaceship!

As always, open to suggestions! 🙂🤠

well, this is all the books read by rory in the gilmore girls tv show.

A compilation of books (mostly fiction) in which the main character/s set out on a journey, leading to moments of meditation, introspection, meandering walks through the memory, conflicts with both the self, the path, and others, and ultimately: change, for both the characters and the reader. In these novels, the journey is more important than the destination.

Recommendations are welcome!

Penguin asked its readers in 2022 for the must-read classics. This is that list!

these books won a major award, then their on-screen adaptations went on to win one, too!

A challenge to read all books mentioned or referenced in the American TV Show, Gilmore Girls. Books are referenced by all characters in the show. The Mojo Collection, dictionaries, instructional books, and travel books will not be included in the list.

Happy reading!

novels where reality bends and distorts, both narrators and memories deceive, and the truth becomes slippery. these stories blur the line between what is real and what is imagined, between fact and fiction, until we are unable to distinguish truth from the author’s own fabrication. a blend of autofiction, historical fiction, and “non-fiction fiction.”

as always welcome to suggestions !
