I TRIED READING LIKE RORY GILMORE FOR A DAY! | Attempting the Rory Gilmore Challenge for 24 Hours 📚

[@madilynanderson2497]

A great way to keep track of your books, especially when you've arranged them in a rainbow, is a book log app like The Handy Library (the one I use). You just scan the books and the cover is included most of the time (if not you can take a pic) and you can organize your books into "shelves" and label them by genre or feel or whatever you want, and you can also track your reading, leave notes, mark your favorites, and see what percentage of your collection you've read. It would come in handy if you couldn't remember what a certain book looked like (and you could label your shelves in colors if you did rainbow sorting on your actual shelves). I just really like the app and wanted to talk about it 😂

[@sillyslicker1]

That's really cool! Thank you for the rec!

[@witchymallow6199]

With every video you make, my TBR gets longer and longer 😂 You give the best recs

[@alexandraroselyn]

Aww thank you!!

[@erinstinson5735]

I LOVE Gilmore Girls. I love the whole asthetic, the characters, everything about it. I'll have to check out the list of books Rory read. It's been a while since I watched the show...I forgot that she carried around a book all the time.

[@thefriesofLockeLamora]

I think you'd enjoy the video essays by The Take on Rory and Lorelei

[@mibarra122]

I started the first season a while ago but I've been stagnant. I bought the whole series a few months ago and I do have say that Rory is one of the reasons I've started book collecting. Plus also watching your channel. By far my fave channel.

[@TerrigenCrystal]

I read Franny and Zooey because it was the book Jess used as an excuse for being in Rory's room when he returned her bracelet. It became one of my all-time favorite books! I highly recommend it!

[@Rank.Roundup]

This was a great TBR. I would’ve enjoyed seeing this as a week-long readathon, so I could have seen you read more of the Rory books that you have.

[@marta.r.correia]

Your vlogs are always such a treat, Lexi! And Then There Were None has been one of my favourite books of all time for so many years (literally over a decade by now!), so I'm really glad that you read it and gave it 5 stars 😁📚 Hope you're good 💛

[@meganc5680]

The covers of the books you have are........Stunning.

[@arintakusuma2960]

and then there were none is one of my favourite from agatha christie!! 😆 i understand why the reveal bothered you, but for me, i actually really liked the way it was told. i highly recommend picking up other books by christie because they are all gold! my other favourites are "hercule poirot's christmas" and "after the funeral", i personally think they're both quite underrated 😄

[@sunbeam874]

I finished reading AND THERE WERE NONE when you upload this video. It was so great. I'm OBSESSED.

[@lisabrooks178]

i LOVE your reading vlogs - esp when you go around town and go to a cozy coffe shop or bookshopping!

[@sohakhan09]

Hey lexi! I love your vids soo much! Keep it up.. BTW cograts on 68k subs🤩🤩

[@moreorlessruth4449]

Oh my! I loved this video. I also adore Gilmore Girls. I've watched every episode so many times. HOWEVER I'm so glad you acknowledged its faults. Made me admire you even more. Thank you x

[@theredheadedheathen7615]

Sofia Coppola’s movie adaptation of The Virgin Suicides is is brilliant, and really captures the essence of the book beautifully. It is one of my favorite films, be sure to check it out.

[@liacurry1076]

That passage you read made me literally cry 😢 so beautiful ❤️

[@alexandraroselyn]

I know it was so pretty!! 😭😭

[@stephaniejohnson597]

I love this idea! So fun! Gilmore Girls is one of my all time favorite shows. Also, reading by the pool gives me ultimate summer vibes! ☕️📚✏️

I've attempted the Rory Gilmore challenge several times and it's always a lot of fun. I really enjoyed The Roughest Draft, I hope you'll like it too! Also, side note, but I'm lowkey obsessed with your Stars Hollow t-shirt 😍

[@hollyludlow2460]

I’ve got a list of books that Rory has read on my notes love this

[@alexandraroselyn]

Love that!!!

[@laurenschenck5355]

Me too! 💘😀

[@danielleharbin]

Love the vlog! Would love to see a summer sleepover vlog maybe with the book the counselors since it takes place at camp!

[@BandanaBookmom]

I was so glad when you picked And Then There Were None! I read it for the first time recently and loved it. Totally agree about the recap but I was glad it was there because for a second I thought it was going to end on a cliff hanger and I was pretty stressed about that! 📏 🏫 📕 💕

[@alexandraroselyn]

Hahahaha ok same! I finished it and was like “….wait but who did it?! 👀”

[@tinahawley09]

Girl yes! Rory resonated with me too. I was a bit of a nerd in HS I ate lunch in the library lol but as you said I did not like the reboot nor did I like the situation during the show with dean & later her mom you know…. You know…. Lol outside of those issues yeah I totally felt like Rory too! Cute video concept love it!

[@bbth667]

Your so pretty and i love ur videos especially the reading vlogs they're so much fun

[@isabellavalentine7268]

I’ve only seen a few episodes of Gilmore Girls- I could never get into it, but I do think this challenge would be something fun to do over the next few years! I’m excited to print it out and see what I’ve read and go from there!

[@trw41100]

The noise of you taking the books off the bookshelf was HEAVENLY ASMR

[@lyriclovercrafts]

Loved this! ✏️ 🤓

[@vanessanicole516]

I love these types of video’s.. I remember darling Desi doing these type of video’s a while back.. I knew for some reason I needed to check out KZbin!!! Thank you for uploading.. Love the video.. This is is my 9th or 10th time binging Gilmore girls

[@KarenTheGreat602]

I 100% agree about books and memories and so I put much thought and care into selecting books for trips or vacations! 📓📝

[@hannahblackwellbooks]

I love Rory but damn her and I would not have the same readings taste 🤣🤣❤️❤️ love this video concept!

[@breannawilliamson9787]

Oh my gosh. ATTWN is my favorite Christie book by far!

[@katiefrank2162]

We went camping so I missed watching this on time….still loved it! 📓 🖊☺️

[@jessical5251]

Jeffrey Eugenides is a great author! Have you read his other book, Middlesex? If not, I think you would really like it! It is about a character who’s grandparents are Greek, and it’s a really unique and interesting story! There is so much going on in the book. I read it for class in high school & it is a story I’ve never forgotten! 💕

[@lailacox529]

☕ Love this video! I am a new subscriber to your channel and love your content. I just finished reading The Vanishing Half and am now onto I'll give you the sun. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@pngn69]

AHHHHHHHHHHH I ALREADY LOVE THIS and I'm not even done watching

[@heatherjurado3840]

📚📓📝Ugh, books that you want to read & finish, but they drag😥I'm SO feeling that with my 'classic' read, "Great Expectations." I need to read Agatha Christie 😍& I've been thinking about The Roughest Draft🤔 Thank you for the vlog! I love that you said books you read on vacation/trips hold the memories☀️Happy Summer ⛱️

[@danielleyarbrough8274]

Thanks for linking the list below 💕 I've always wanted to give it a try🤔

[@kristin87425]

When I saw and then there were none I was beaming my thoughts into the phone says PICK that one!! That book is soooo good! That trope at the end is how a LOT of her books are unfortunately I've never been so mad at books as I get at hers 🤣

[@shawnamonroe]

This was so fun! I’m glad you enjoyed And Then There Were None. Agatha Christie is amazing!

[@DollysGram]

🤓📚🤗Super fun video!!

[@homestylereads]

I’m waiting until September to finally watch Gilmore Girls. I feel it’s not a very summer show, so I’m waiting. But Rory’s taste is impeccable. ✏️

[@Northern.Aquila]

No way!!! I just finished watching an episode of Gilmore Girls and then came onto KZbin to see this!!!

[@amandahaesemeier]

Bel Canto took me FOREVER to get into, but I ended up really enjoying it! I think it was the writing style that took me a while to get used more than anything. The writing is lyrical and beautiful…just not what I typically read haha. 😅📚☕️

[@katherineschmoyer5042]

Just finished the roughest draft and absolutely loved it 🙌 hope you do a review of it

[@booksmart_cass]

I love Gilmore Girls so much! And I agree that it definitely has its flaws. I wanna try this challenge for a Bookstagram post! 📚

[@FaeryLaume]

I spent most of the second half of this video wishing you'd show us the yellow and white sundress (or top?) that you were wearing. It looks adorable. And not being able to find And Then There Were None - this is why I'd struggle with a rainbow bookcase. LOL

[@FaeryLaume]

Although I've never watched the show, I can check sixty nine books off that PDF list. (and I DNF'ed a few more).

[@tawnyachristensen7310]

Loved this! I was bugged by the end of Then There Were None as well, but loved the atmosphere, etc... The Virgin Suicides is definitely not for me. You should give Beloved a try, maybe this fall, as there is a good deal of spookiness.

[@alexandraroselyn]

I’m reading it for a vlog actually! And omg I’m so glad so many people are saying it’s amazing!! I can’t wait to read it 😊

[@colettelaing1220]

You have so many classics with gorgeous covers! What additions are they and where can we get them! 😃

[@enchantedadventuresthrough3065]

I've always wanted to read like Rory but I think the list intimidates me so I chose not to go there. I would love for you to read more books from the list, though. It would be interesting to see what you think of the whole list. I have never read for 24 hours straight, but I am planning to read as much as possible this weekend. I have an appointment on Friday, but I think I can manage this on Saturday and Sunday when there is no one posting videos. I have things to do this weekend but it will be later in the evening so I will have plenty of time to read. I don't know how it will happen with this horrible slump I'm in but the plan is to read so I need to at least try and not make more excuses... Anyway, see you Sunday!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Oh yay! Well I hope you have fun doing a 24 hour Readathon!! And yes see you Sunday! 😊

[@enchantedadventuresthrough3065]

​@@alexandraroselyn Girl, I don't remember reading 2 days straight! Did I manage to do it? Can't remember at all! I will for sure be doing this soon, but with audiobooks because I have not started a new physical book, and I have audiobooks going at this point that I need to finish. I'll read Amulet book 5 on Friday, but that's gonna take less than 3 hours. Maybe I'll do that 24-hour thing this weekend. Not a consecutive 24 hours, but in total. Maybe I should not plan things ahead of time since that always gets messed up before the time comes. hahah

[@sbragdon212]

That breakfast toast with eggs should’ve been pop tarts, you know lol

[@alexandraroselyn]

Okay about that lol…. I did actually buy a box of pop tarts and was going to use them as like an intro and a breakfast but… I ended up eating the whole box before filming and was like “welp… eggs it is” lol

[@sbragdon212]

[@jenniferb319]

I didn’t like The Virgin Suicides but I think it’s because it’s written from the perspective of teenage boys. And I do not wish the be in the head of a teenage boy.

[@brittneyspnfan4731]

📓📕📝📚✏️ I absolutely love Gilmore Girls. The Virgin Suicides has been on my TBR forever.

[@Emmareads15]

The further away I get from Gilmore Girls the more problems I find with it. Rory is actually a felon, and somehow she is the victim in the situation. She's so privileged and they try to portray her as not. She is also NOT a journalist, she's too shy and undemanding, she never would have made it.

[@lerouxjuliette2067]

Such a great video ❤️

[@samrjacobson13]

I have never read The Virgin Suicides, but I’ve watched the movie with Kirsten Dunst & it was definitely a hard movie to watch.

Great Video! 🖍️

[@gabMV]

I have started episode one of the Gilmore Girls three times now and I just can’t get past Rory’s attitude when that one dude talks to her for the first time and suddenly she doesn’t want to go to that school and she calls her mom a bitch or something? I may need to skip to episode 2 because otherwise I just will never finish an episode. I’m sure it gets better and I really do want to watch it. Books, fall and small town coziness is my vibe.

[@Spiritbro77]

I couldn't read The Virgin Suicides. I've lost more than one friend to suicide. Don't think I want to go there. I hear it is a very good book though. I read "And then there were none" when I was a kid. Probably 9 or 10 and then saw both movies based in it. One titled And then there were none and the other titles Ten Little Indians. :) The books are always better but both movies were really good too. I love the Gilmore Girls. Great show. In my top five all time. And yes, it isn't perfect but I would contend no show is and the imperfections are few and far between and the good far outweighs the bad.
