Recs if you like Eat, Pray, Love...

For all the multitaskers on here (including myself): books featured on 2+ quests! Go get those badges everyone

Books you will find on any given thrift store shelf in the US, for better or worse 😂 For books in a series or by prolific authors, I’ve only included one book so as not to overwhelm the list.

Suggestions welcome!

I think it goes without saying but just in case… I’m not necessarily recommending these books by having them on this list. (In fact I wouldn’t recommend many of these.) This is for fun!

Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?

Memoirs where the audiobook is narrated by the author

This list gathers over 300 books mentioned or read on the show so you can sip coffee, order in, and read along with Rory Gilmore and the other Stars Hollow residents.

Books that were adapted into movies (not tv shows). Let's make this list as long as possible!

(going to only add the first book in a series)

books olivia has talked about, posted, or was seen reading!

A balance of breezy page-turners with immersive classics and thought-provoking non-fiction.

luv sux, these books don't. fiction, non-fiction & memoir centering heartbreak and the loss of romantic love

Books that have been made into a TV series or Movie

Books that have been made into TV shows or movies. It always amazed me how many there are.

As always feel free to recommend any I missed!

Books that will make you feel like you've just traveled somewhere new.

A compilation of the books mentioned in The Last Page by Katie Holt. The story is set in a bookstore and each chapter starts with a staff pick recommendation from one of the employees there. Gonna be relying on this for the Bookception prompt of HRCYED 3.0

Food-related books across genres (only including first book of series if all food related)

Sentimental Garbage is a podcast by Caroline O'Donoghue. Often the topic is a particular title/book, so this list is slowly curating the different books that are discussed. For those who enjoy reading and podcasts! NB: it doesn't include books of film media discussed unless they've also done an episode on the book.

Candid divorce tales and healing journeys, from chronicles to intimate literary memoirs.

Travel the world vicariously through these books. Some are adult fiction, some are YA, and others are non-fiction

book to screen adaptations (announced, in the works or out for years)

Books that have been adapted to the big screen
