I refuse to believe that Rory Gilmore has not read a single Agatha Christie. Insane.
I’m sure she did. They just didn’t show it 😂
This couldn't have come at a better time. Currently binging Gilmore Girls for the first time this fall🍁
Me too! 🥰
Me three! I love that for us
I'm already finishing 7th season, third round watching the show and probably the last.
Same I'm starting it tonight!
Same!! On season 5 now!
I’m finding it fascinating that so many people are just recently watching Gilmore Girls. It’s an interesting new surge of a show that has some moments that did not age well, but as someone who watched the show obsessively back when it aired, I get the love. Also… Team Jess!
Decided to take the quiz and I got 119 out of 339. That list was insane.
IMPRESSIVE!!
Agree there
Yes! Watching it back as an adult such a problematic show. The whole episode when sookie finds out she’s pregnant because Jackson lied to her! Sooo bad! I’m also team Jess
I've never seen it but I watch the podcast Darling Desi and it's on my streaming channel so I plan to watch it very soon.
Lexi!! You really, really, really should read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. You would love it and it would be a great read for spooky season!! Gothic suspense.
I was surprised to hear she hadn't read it as well. It was so good.
One of my all time favs totally agree perfect for spooky season
Rebecca and Northanger Abbey would be a great pair for the spooky season!
Hi!
I think I was spoiled the plot twist or the end, is it still worth the read? And how scary would you say it is?
@@apo1270 yes! In my opinion it is still worth the read. It’s a very well-written book, so I enjoyed it just as much rereading it as I did the first time. More spooky vibes IMO and less outright scary.
To be fair, I think when Gilmore Girls references half of these, they're referencing the movie version and not the books. Also, some of these books were not read by Rory, but by others. Like Deenie, which was April's favorite book. Also Team Logan! Logan challenged Rory in ways that she hadn't been challenged before, and forced her out of her comfort zone, which is where true growth happens.
I have read 35 of them. I could probably add 10 more if I ever read the books on my shelf.
I took the quiz with you! 67/339 books for me.
I got 44 of the 339, which is apparently more than 80%. Lol. I love this video.
Brave New World is incredible because it was written in the 30's but relates exactly how our world/society is today.
I would challenge that this list isn't all the books she's read because many of them are movies (which they've consumed,too).
I've never seen Gilmore Girls, but I took the quiz, like you mandatory reading for school really helped my numbers. I've read 74 of the books, not bad I guess :)
I was shocked when you said you hadn't read Jane Eyre and Rebecca. Those would be great reads for this time of year!
So refreshing to see classics becoming popular to read.
I did horribly on this quiz. Then I realized a lot of these books Rory doesn't actually read. The List has books that were either read by or referenced (title, character, or line) by any character. Jess references To Kill A Mockingbird when talking about the town meetings, but you don't see anyone reading it.
There is more than one reference of that book, including a guy that protest on the church tower, he's called Boo Radley by Lorelai
Yup this is a list of all references by anyone. And could have been movie vs book debate too since they watched a lot more movies then read.
There's a list of all the books in the show and no rory didn't read them all😅
GIRL. I am on season one episode 7 of my FIRST Gilmore Girls watch ever!! In so obsessed.
OH MY GOD!!!! Prepare to make it your life bestie lol lol I freaking love The Gilmore Girls haha
I’m still on season 2. I’ll watch like 7 episodes in one day and then not watch any for months
I started last year but I only watch it in fall so now I'm on szn 3!! but it's soo fun to watch in Sept&Oct&Nov!! so fall cozy, wholesome and some drama too, season 1 vibes is my fav so far
The pop tarts made me need to eat the toaster strudel I had in my freezer. 😄
Hey, look who finally posted her video today! I thought I would leave the apartment without being able to watch a new video from you today. Thanks for posting AND IT'S ABOUT RORY! I LOVED THAT WHOLE SHOW!!!!
I love the mug, too. I want one now. LOL
I love the Gilmore girls too!! Yay!!
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson is just a short story, and it's fantastic. Definitely get that one off your list because it's just like 30 pages! 😊
Or not. I read it more than fifty years ago and it still haunts me. 😳
@@FaeryLaume yeah I was tempted to mention in my comment that it is....a super messed up story to say the least. I don't know why they made us read it in MIDDLE SCHOOL. Probably to try to scare kids into being empathetic 🙃
This was fun!! I’ve read 72 of these! And now I have some new ones to add to my ever-growing TBR for our Bookclub!
You made me wanna go out and get some pop tarts and cozy up with a book! 😊 also you gotta read 1984 so good
Love that damn book lol
team jess❤️ i’ve actually been to hearst castle!! i went when i was in middle school and i did enjoy it then, but i would totally appreciate it more now!
☕️ As I Lay Dying was one of the most morbid and difficult books to understand. I read it in high school and couldn’t stand it. However I did notice you didn’t mark To Kill a Mockingbird and you should read it soon! Frankenstein as well!!
I’ve only read 18 books from this list! Slaughterhouse-Five really is incredible. I have “so it goes” tattooed on my forearm. It’s my favorite quote of all time.
if i saw your tattoo i'd think it was a taylor swift reference
@@bernadetaeidenaite4730 haha I’m not a TS fan so I would have never even thought about that.
I've read 74 from this list/quiz ☕️ not too shabby! So many good ones that you have to read that you said no to 😂 anyways loved this video and the immaculate fall vibes! ❤️🍁
I agree
Okay so I’m watching Gilmore girls for the first time ever right now and I’m OBSESSED! I’m in season 3- and after season 1 I discovered this reading challenge and I’m so excited! I don’t know if I see myself reading ALL of the books on the list but id love to get through as many of them as i can!! And I just LOVE your channel so I was really excited to see this pop up here! So fun!
Just found your channel today and have consumed so much book content in the last few hours! Also going so strong with Team Logan as I begin my annual rewatch
You are do lucky. There are so many wonderful books you have yet to read for a first time. What a great time you'll have.
@13:46 "JANE EYRE!!! 😃".... (pauses)..., "no 😒".... LMAO!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏❤
I love how cozy your videos are! Perfect to watch during fall. Also, I need to finally watch Gilmore Girls lol😂
I kown right
LOVE GG! There's a lot of books that I have never heard of but sound interesting. I've read 42 books on this list, so yeah lol. ☕🍁
I’m clocking in at 289 of Rory’s read books! That was way better than I thought, although I admit that I was obsessed with the Gilmore Girl’s when it came out and may have generated my TBR based on a lot of the books I saw, and references they made, so I feel like I cheated 😂. Out of all the ones you haven’t read i feel like the shining and to kill a mocking bird are must read soon books. ☕️☕️
To Kill a Mockingbird is really good, I've been meaning to read The Shining too
TWO OF MY FAVES - you and gilmore girls
☕ Oh my gosh! Get thee to Little Women! And you'd probably enjoy Rebecca, too. Slaughterhouse Five is one of my all-time favorites, too!
Cinnamon & sugaaarrrrrr ❤ ☕️ Also, my list was like yours, Lexi. 🫣
So! To be fair! These are all the books MENTIONED in Gilmore Girls and some of them were just referenced and not necessarily read. I think my number was like 84 a few years ago but I’ve also TRIED to read more specifically from this list. You should for sure read Anna Karenina, it’s a top 5 of all time for me. ☕️
I commented the same thing! And there are a few instances where they are referencing the movie version rather than the book version.
I find it interesting that a lot of the required reading I had in school you hadn’t read! Like lord of the flies, or grapes of wrath, or brave new world. I grew up in California, so everywhere must have different lists. You still checked off more than I would have 😂
I am a strawberry pop tart girlie because I like the sprinkles 😋
I love Gilmore Girls!!! I can recite some of the lines that reference some of these books and it makes me want to start another rewatch! Love this video. So fun! ☕
This was fun, I just took the quiz and got 34 books 😮 def thought I would have more☕️
Great video! I have not read a lot of the books on the quiz but I want to read much more and then retake it. As for Poptarts when I ate them I like Snickerdoodle and Chocolate flavored but I like to eat them untoasted. ☕️☕️
☕️ blueberry.
I am in the same boat as you. I just got 55. If this was a list of cozy mysteries I would kill it ;-)
An idea for a future video is to read banned books. There were quite a few on this list.
☕️ loved this! I have more books to add to my endless TBR.
Looks like there’s a video you could do.. “Reading books that haunt me for a week”
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s reading of Anna Karenina is really good! It’s on audible.
☕ I listen to your videos as I drive to work at a school library. Our year 7s just finished Rebecca and loved it. I scored 44 on this quiz. I DNF'd Frankenstein (I think I'm too old for scary books) but I think you'd love 100 years of solitude for it's magic realism so maybe read that first? Stephen King is phenomenal, read dozens as a teen. My English teacher gave me On the Road and I've read Fear and Loathing about 10 times. Great list! PS, they stopped selling unfrosted strawberry pop tarts in my country in the 90s and I still dream about them sometimes ❤
Great video!! I love the Gilmore Girls and I've only read 16 of the books off Rory's list. ☕☕
The pop-tarts🤣 Nailed it.
I like the unfrosted strawberry poptarts, because I really like the poptart crust.
☕️Another fun video!
Cherry is my favorite but the brown sugar cinnamon ones are great for a dessert vibe when you have nothing else!
Oh my gosh all I could hear as you were saying no was the fairy godmother from Shrek “The Golden Bird, The Little Mermaid, Pretty Woman, no No nO NO NO!” 😂🧚♀️
I read 45 of these books, and there's a lot more that I want to read too. I would love to see a vlog of you reading some too, especially the Allende ones. ☕☕☕
Lexi, you may have only read 50 of Rory's books, but that's okay cuz you have a phenominal personality and fashion sense. Plus you are gorgeous! My pop tart choice is cherry! ❤
15 on list lol. Great list to keep in mind ❤☕️
Thanks for giving me a new list to add to my TBR!
my favourite flavour would be tuty fruity, ☕ and we can definitely do a drinking game to every book you said no to... I am already swaying 😂 but I really think every one should read Little Women
☕️ I love a Cinnamon pop tart that’s been toasted. Yummm!
The first few seconds I was just freaking out over the Luke’s mug 😂 omg I love it and want one so bad now
☕️ strawberry pop-tart for me
I ❤ you, Lexi!! 😁😁 You brighten my day and you're easily one of my very favorite Booktubers! 😘😘
Your enthusiasm and your settings and your topics and your style!! Gush! gush! gush! lol 😄😄😄❤❤❤.... Seriously, I love your videos!! You are so cool!! 😁🎃🍁🍂
Seeing that list...I got a lot of reading to do...lol and my favorite pop tart flavor is s'mores! Also wanna watch Gilmore Girls now lol ☕☕
You didn't have to read To Kill a Mockingbird??? Sooooo good! This makes me feel like a failure with these books lol. My favorite pop tart is the cinnamon sugar ones :-) ☕
50 books is amazing, you should be proud ☕️
wootwoot took it and got 43 yay! I just love your videos
I've never seen Gilmore Girls, but this challenge was still really fun to watch! That was a good (long) list! My favorite pop tarts are chocolate fudge but the brown sugar cinnamon is a good one too! Also loved the 🎃editing when you cursed 😆☕☕
Just for the record, I really think watching Shakespeare is better than reading him. Or, at least, watch the plays a few times and THEN read the scripts. Also Brigadoon is a musical. You really really really should watch it. Gene Kelly. Dang, I had such a crush on him when I was a kid.
This cup!!! I need it!!
Frosted Cherry Poptarts are my personal favorite and I've read a good 70+ books on this list, I need to up my game too. I'm a huge Alice Hoffman fan, I love Nora Roberts books, V.C Andrews, Jane Austin and Cozy Mystery books and anything Chicklit worthy of Hallmark Movies, and I love reading Dark Academia and also Mail Order Bride books lol the last ones just because they crack me up.
I'm currently reading Cackle by Rachel Harrison.
You have no idea how excited I get when I see a new video from you!
That’s so sweet of you to say thank you!!!🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Favorite pop tart is strawberry. you know I feel betrayed because I read Frankenstein because you had it in your TBR a couple years ago. 😉☕
I would like to do that challenge, that was fun. My favorite pop tart is cinnamon sugar (non frosted) and then S'mores. ☕
I love Gilmore Girls! I don’t think I could do her challenge. 😅 that’s a crazy amount of books. But I’ve definitely read some of them.
I agree that would be a challenge that would take yearrrsss
I made it to 61! But there are certainly a few on that list that I should maybe prioritize.
I love unfrosted cherry pop tarts! I haven't had them in so long though. 😩 ☕❤☕
I’d like to view my failure on this list differently. Has *she* read all the books I’ve read? I think not! Lol sure, that means something, right? ☕️
This was fun!☕️ It is interesting that most books read are the required reading for school. I read a few different ones than you, but probably no more than 30 total. Bits and pieces of some which I’m not counting either. Thank you for sharing!
I too own 1984 and haven’t read it 😂
I got 28/339. So many of these are referenced as movies too, I kept having to stop myself from clicking on movies I’ve seen.
I’m a Strawberry pop tart girlie, the rainbow sprinkles have had me since childhood.
Chocolate pop tart is my favourite. ☕
I’m totally team Logan as well!! No one will ever change my mind that he’s the guy for Rory (and me 😂).
Yessss, I agree with Team Logan🙌🙌
☕️ favorite poptart-blueberry.
☕️ cinnamon sugar pop tarts for the win!
I love that you took this test, Lexi! I just read 10 books of all the ones Rory has read😂 Love the video☕☕
☕️ I have read 40 from this list, and I am a cherry pop tart girl 😊
89% on the quiz, red velvet pop tarts, team Jess ☕️
I'm not a big poptart person but I gotta say the Apple Jack poptart is a MUST lol. ☕
I did take this challenge and my result was lousy! 😂
I dislike strawberry anything except... (drum rolls) fot strawberry poptart! 😂 🙄
This was a great video! ❤
Love your cup and love Gilmore girls!
☕
Yessss Team Logan!!!
I've read 34 from that list.. got some more reading to do it seems!
My fav poplar flavour is strawberry, basic I know lol. ☕️
Cinnamon and s’mores pop tarts! Also I’ve had Anna Karenina on my tbr foreverrrrr.
Loved the Gilmore Girls...never heard of the Rory Book Challenge before. Just took the quiz. For sure read 68 but there were probably 10 or 12 more that i think i read but not 100% sure so didn't count. Also....some that I definitely wouldn't ever read 😁. ☕ havent had a pop tart in forever! Pumpkin spice or strawberry (fave cereal - cranberry orange granola)
My favorite pop tarts are the S’mores ones. Also top-tier are cherry and blueberry. I only read 35 on that list. Yikes! 🙈 ☕️
☕️ Your videos always make my day 💜 You are always so cheerful that it makes me so happy 🥰
I read 50 too! And now I have a new list I want to try and read 😊
☕☕ Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Poptarts!
I started the Gilmore Reading Challenge (Jules Buono-“The Literary Lifestyle” email list) this year, where you have a prompt each month & pick from the master list. Great way to plan in books you wish you’ve read but never otherwise pick up! Thriftbooks has most titles too.
I haven’t read most of these either. What’s interesting is it’s really Amy and Dan Palladino who are this well read to be able to make this many literary references in their show. I feel like the literary references really go down in season 7 when they weren’t writing for the show anymore.
Yes! Team Logan all the way!
I have read 78 of the books which surprised me. I was thinking about attempting to watch the series again this season. I only got through season 3 last time and then just stopped watching for some reason. Going to give it another shot-and maybe pay more attention to the books she is reading.
House of the spirits is one of my favourite books. You should definitely check it out.
Cookies and Creme Pop Tarts are my fav but any Pop Tart will do. I'm afraid to take this test. I love the Luke's Place cup and will be desperately searching the internet to get one. Also, from one ☕ lover to another, cheers ☕!
Fave poptart is Smores! I've read 71 on this quiz and own about half of them. Please read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!! That book had such an effect on me when I read it freshman year in college, I was obsessed!
Hiya, new subscriber here :) loving your channel! 🍁 I've lost count of the number of times I've rewatched gilmore girls haha. I had to read the prologue and select tales from Chaucer in high school, quite the interesting and unexpectedly hilarious read at times! 😂
Omgsh hiii❤️❤️❤️ and yes I agree about Chaucer!!!
@@alexandraroselyn😊 I'm from Scotland, a lot of required reading at high school and university was older books but the old English in Chaucer was definitely new to me! 😅
The last time I counted I was at 106, and I'm proud of that. However, I read them bc I like them more than to show off. Usually, one or two people in the comments section have read more, and I say Kudos! to them. What I discovered through BookTube is that while I do score well on this challenge there are many other lists where I struggle to approach 50%. These are the kind of things old people like me love because over 50 years the numbers tend to grow large.
