I refuse to believe that Rory Gilmore has not read a single Agatha Christie. Insane.

[@sophiemayth45]

I’m sure she did. They just didn’t show it 😂

[@ballroomred]

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.

[@abrareads]

I was surprised to hear she hadn't read it as well. It was so good.

[@NicoleElaine0208]

One of my all time favs totally agree perfect for spooky season

[@keely-26]

Rebecca and Northanger Abbey would be a great pair for the spooky season!

[@apo1270]

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?

[@ballroomred]

@@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.

[@thesunflowersimmer]

This couldn't have come at a better time. Currently binging Gilmore Girls for the first time this fall🍁

[@moodbored]

Me too! 🥰

[@mmalove98]

Me three! I love that for us

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

I'm already finishing 7th season, third round watching the show and probably the last.

[@queenvictoria4237]

Same I'm starting it tonight!

[@mamatee907]

Same!! On season 5 now!

[@lelannazalee2730]

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.

[@FayroseH]

IMPRESSIVE!!

[@hannahllewellyn163]

Agree there

[@Cinia18]

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

[@belindagritter1572]

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.

[@michellebunting8050]

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.

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

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

[@simplesimply3753]

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.

[@SLAMSwan]

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).

[@Lyricallys]

I was shocked when you said you hadn't read Jane Eyre and Rebecca. Those would be great reads for this time of year!

[@nicolcacola]

So refreshing to see classics becoming popular to read.

[@kate-ne]

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! 😊

[@FaeryLaume]

Or not. I read it more than fifty years ago and it still haunts me. 😳

[@kate-ne]

@@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 🙃

[@beccawalker5332]

GIRL. I am on season one episode 7 of my FIRST Gilmore Girls watch ever!! In so obsessed.

[@alexandraroselyn]

OH MY GOD!!!! Prepare to make it your life bestie lol lol I freaking love The Gilmore Girls haha

[@booknerd369]

I’m still on season 2. I’ll watch like 7 episodes in one day and then not watch any for months

[@itsmariaa18]

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

[@amyreadsall]

The pop tarts made me need to eat the toaster strudel I had in my freezer. 😄

[@enchantedadventuresthrough3065]

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!!!!

[@enchantedadventuresthrough3065]

I love the mug, too. I want one now. LOL

[@alexandraroselyn]

I love the Gilmore girls too!! Yay!!

[@Naturellebooks]

You made me wanna go out and get some pop tarts and cozy up with a book! 😊 also you gotta read 1984 so good

[@bepbop3243]

Love that damn book lol

[@kristenmoore925x]

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. ☕️☕️

[@AnUncreativePerson]

To Kill a Mockingbird is really good, I've been meaning to read The Shining too

[@LexW5]

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s reading of Anna Karenina is really good! It’s on audible.

[@isismol1993]

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.

[@bernadetaeidenaite4730]

if i saw your tattoo i'd think it was a taylor swift reference

[@isismol1993]

@@bernadetaeidenaite4730 haha I’m not a TS fan so I would have never even thought about that.

[@311celestialway]

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!

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

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!

[@jocelyngordon9346]

You have no idea how excited I get when I see a new video from you!

[@alexandraroselyn]

That’s so sweet of you to say thank you!!!🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@AtHomeWithAmandaWallis]

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!

[@katzified]

TWO OF MY FAVES - you and gilmore girls

[@nataliaslibrary]

I love how cozy your videos are! Perfect to watch during fall. Also, I need to finally watch Gilmore Girls lol😂

[@hannahllewellyn163]

I kown right

[@britnimiller1308]

☕️ loved this! I have more books to add to my endless TBR.

[@catherinehinson2039]

Thanks for giving me a new list to add to my TBR!

[@Iced.Coffee__]

☕️ Your videos always make my day 💜 You are always so cheerful that it makes me so happy 🥰

[@VloggingBookWorm]

This cup!!! I need it!!

[@taylorh8430]

I got 44 of the 339, which is apparently more than 80%. Lol. I love this video.

[@bernadettefuson1678]

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.

[@esliet]

15 on list lol. Great list to keep in mind ❤☕️

[@corissabuehner6675]

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! ☕

[@samanthaaiello]

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? ☕️

[@lisadw499]

☕️Another fun video!

[@deanaskeen6710]

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! ❤️🍁

[@hannahllewellyn163]

I agree

[@ftv3327]

your videos are so cozy!!

[@beautynscience2010]

Great video!! I love the Gilmore Girls and I've only read 16 of the books off Rory's list. ☕☕

[@lauraa1345]

I love that you took this test, Lexi! I just read 10 books of all the ones Rory has read😂 Love the video☕☕

[@margueritecorbett883]

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 :)

[@kiraasay1384]

☕️ I have read 40 from this list, and I am a cherry pop tart girl 😊

[@nohea_robertson]

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. ☕🍁

[@morganarosana]

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. ☕☕☕

[@amyschmelzer6445]

I have read 35 of them. I could probably add 10 more if I ever read the books on my shelf.

[@nknutson780]

This was fun, I just took the quiz and got 34 books 😮 def thought I would have more☕️

[@michellec7677]

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 😆☕☕

[@erikasilva8693]

☕️ love your videos

[@confessionofabookdragon]

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. ☕️☕️

[@Ashleylovesreading]

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!

[@emmagill5511]

Yessss, I agree with Team Logan🙌🙌

[@tiananesbitt7156]

Stared at this list all the time!

[@ravensnow2931]

I took the quiz with you! 67/339 books for me.

[@AshlynnHolmes13]

Cherry is my favorite but the brown sugar cinnamon ones are great for a dessert vibe when you have nothing else!

[@djcass101]

This was so fun omg 😂❤

[@mimirudollfie3532]

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.

[@alexandraroselyn]

I agree that would be a challenge that would take yearrrsss

[@alexandriahernandez7707]

wootwoot took it and got 43 yay! I just love your videos

[@badfaith4u]

Chocolate pop tart is my favourite. ☕

[@michellem9444]

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.

[@d.edwardmeade3683]

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!! 😁🎃🍁🍂

[@jenih8302]

I like the unfrosted strawberry poptarts, because I really like the poptart crust.

[@JenKMusic01]

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 ☕☕

[@borrowedthymegardens4025]

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.

[@Biobotica]

☕ 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!

[@patriciaalvesmarques5947]

50 books is amazing, you should be proud ☕️

[@thecampinglibrarian]

☕️ I love a Cinnamon pop tart that’s been toasted. Yummm!

[@verucabeckwith3014]

Cinnamon & sugaaarrrrrr ❤ ☕️ Also, my list was like yours, Lexi. 🫣

[@laurabender1894]

I read 50 too! And now I have a new list I want to try and read 😊

[@sirahj9979]

I made it to 61! But there are certainly a few on that list that I should maybe prioritize.

[@karenrabell8734]

☕️ I love your channel

[@jessicapsjesuslovesyou7820]

Omg it is the s’mores flavor for me ☕️

[@lauratroxel6072]

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 😋

[@nicolealcorn8908]

I love unfrosted cherry pop tarts! I haven't had them in so long though. 😩 ☕❤☕

[@aPLAGUE0113]

The pop-tarts🤣 Nailed it.

[@pattireinheimer5612]

89% on the quiz, red velvet pop tarts, team Jess ☕️

[@kitkatkc9]

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

[@deanaskeen6710]

Also, brown sugar maple cinnamon is my favorite pop tart too 🤤❤️

[@nicoleek10]

Cinnamon and s’mores pop tarts! Also I’ve had Anna Karenina on my tbr foreverrrrr.

[@marybarton9792]

I would like to do that challenge, that was fun. My favorite pop tart is cinnamon sugar (non frosted) and then S'mores. ☕

[@kirstenhamann4930]

Yes!!! Team Logan!

[@mat5957]

love your videos, so cozy!!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Aw thank you :)

[@elizabethb1478]

☕ 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 ❤

[@lilaccottage]

Frankenstein is sooooo good!

[@thoranacreates]

Yessss Team Logan!!!

[@Laele267]

House of the spirits is one of my favourite books. You should definitely check it out.

[@heatherbritcher5190]

I need to do this list challenge! ☕️

[@tanyaembly7630]

I'm not a big poptart person but I gotta say the Apple Jack poptart is a MUST lol. ☕

[@chrissybooksandberries]

85%! That awesome!

[@tp06]

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! ❤

[@ValerieHowell-ly6of]

☕☕☕Cinnamon Brown Sugar or Blueberry pop tarts are amazing! I have read 74 books on this list.

[@shellkay]

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.

[@sydneypaterson1013]

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. ☕️

[@procaffeinate_withbooks]

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

[@Lillyjoy]

You should do a reading vlog next for some of the ones you haven’t read! I’ve only read 6 😂 I love Gilmore Girls so much ❤☕️

[@d.edwardmeade3683]

@13:46 "JANE EYRE!!! 😃".... (pauses)..., "no 😒".... LMAO!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏❤

[@CheDeco15]

☕️ I’m a Brown Sugar Cinnamon girlie as well. 💜

[@laurahall1578]

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)

[@matrixqueen6216]

I ended up with 53. I was unsure on so many on if i had read them. Definitely enjoyed going through them.

[@booksbeanies5425]

☕️ 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!!

[@amorinauman5017]

My favorite pop tarts are the S’mores ones. Also top-tier are cherry and blueberry. I only read 35 on that list. Yikes! 🙈 ☕️

[@kitten_mittens7]

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! 😂

[@alexandraroselyn]

Omgsh hiii❤️❤️❤️ and yes I agree about Chaucer!!!

[@kitten_mittens7]

​@@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! 😅

[@dominiqueendeavors]

fruity pebbles and crunch berry are a tie for my favorite cereal flavors ☕

[@melissamybubbles6139]

I haven't kept tract of how many I've read. I need to read more Shakespeare, more Russian authors, the original Grimm's tales, and a bunch of other stuff apparently. This was fun. Most of what I've read was assigned reading too.

[@valerieblackmer7056]

I've read 57 but I have a lot of them on my bookshelf. ☕️

[@ritamarsiurano3478]

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.
