This club is for you if you’re more interested in reading books from the show or reading what might be on Rory or Lorelai’s shelf today.

In our more literary leaning club, we read books directly from the show, current works of fiction that Rory might’ve found herself picking up during a few hours of browsing at the bookstore, memoirs that might’ve caught on the Gilmore Girls’ interest, or literary fiction that reflect like the less romantic themes of the show— family drama, female friendship, academic inclinations, wealth disparity, and more.

All you have to do is call my name and I’ll be there at the next bookstore. Where you read, I will follow!

This club is for you if you want to read books that feel like Gilmore girls.

In our romance specific, Gilmore Girls inspired book club, we read romance books with strong female leads, warm (or cold) mother/daughter relationships, small towns, friends to lovers, academic enemies, grumpy/sunshine, autumnal vibes galore, and so much more.

It’s not just about the vibes and the tropes because Gilmore Girls is best known for its dialogue and fast-paced writing. In these book clubs picks, the banter is top notch, the writer has an unique voice, and the story offers a diversity not always evident within the show itself.

Reading is, in fact, quite sexy!
