Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge

Have you every loved a show so much that you watched it at least 20 times? No? Then I guess it’s just me. Gilmore Girls definitely falls into the watching it again and again category. It’s one of my favorite shows. In fact, as I write this I’m watching episode 6.9 The Prodigal Daughter Returns. If you’ve watched all the shows at least once then the show title says it all.

So Rory Gilmore loves to read. I mean she Loves. To. Read. She carries a book with her everywhere. Even to prom. And there’s references to books in a lot of her conversations. So it only makes sense that there has been a Reading Challenge around for years based on the books read and referenced on the shows.

I’m going to break the books down by season. There’s 339 in just the original 7 seasons. Then there’s the additional 4 episodes that came later. Along with those books.

So sit back. Pick up a book. And “call my name and I’ll be there on the next train.”

Where You Lead
Gilmore Girls Theme Song

Wanting you the way I do
I only wanna be with you
And I would go
To the ends of the earth
'Cause, darling
To me that's what you're worth

Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead

If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely, and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there on the next train

Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead

I always wanted a real home with flowers on the window sill
But if you wanna live in New York City, honey, you know I will
(Yes I will, yes I will)
I never thought I could get satisfaction from just one man
But if anyone can keep me happy, you're the one who can

Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow, oh

Where you lead, I will follow
Any-anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
Oh baby, ooh

I'm gonna follow where you lead
(I'm gonna follow where you lead)
Oh baby, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna follow where you lead
(I'm gonna follow where you lead)
Ooh, sugar, uh-huh
I'm gonna follow where you lead
(I'm gonna follow where you lead)
Oh baby, yeah
I'm gonna follow where you lead
(I'm gonna follow where you lead)
