Happy reading!

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.

Reading my way through all 408 Books In Rory Gilmore’s Reading List as per Epic Reads
