Rory gilmores reading list

Just a collection of classics written by women, this is a diverse reading experience with voices of women from across time and boarders.

Just getting back into reading and feeling a bit overwhelmed at all the options? These were my go to recommendations for people while I was a longtime bookseller! I've tried to touch on most genres in this master list so you have a good selection, but I definitely could have missed a few since there are so many.

IN PROGRESS AS OF MAY 2026 (I'm rewatching it and trying to put everything in chronological order of the show T.T) - Every single book directly mentioned, referenced in a joke, or clearly seen in the show Gilmore Girls, because I'm obsessed and challenging myself to read them all. I'm also including if they mentioned a movie that's based on a book.

Books that Miss Rory Gilmore has read and referenced in the wonderful Gilmore Girls

I really personally need this list.

This is a list of books by the authors present in "The Literary Witches Oracle" deck, written by Taisia Kitaiskaia, illustrated by Katy Horan. A celebration of magical women writers.

(Auto)biographies, diaries, or memoirs of historical women that I've read and given at least 3 stars. Happy reading!

Are these supposed to be read? Or are we invading their privacy? You decide.

Rory's books seen or mentioned in the series.
