The fall air is sweeping the Connecticut coast, and that can only mean one thing. It's "Gilmore Girls" season. "Gilmore Girls" has recently become one of the most re-watched shows, thanks to Netflix! Now the fans are getting some additional episodes with the Netflix reboot coming in November. Until then I ask all "Gilmore Girls" Fans to think about the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge. I know that this challenge has been around for a while now, but it's something about the fall air that makes me want to read again.

The original list was created by Australian writer Patrick Lenton who said that it would take him two years to complete the challenge if he read a book every two weeks. You can find the list on any website, but my personal favorite is ReadingList because you can check off each book that you have already read, and keep track of the ones you still need to. Out of the 359, I have read 36. This isn't bad considering that I am not much of a classics person, and have recently been into autobiographies. I think this challenge will help me get back into reading classics and possibly enjoy something I would have never considered.

Currently, I have found the biggest challenge is trying to figure out which book to read first. There are just too many to choose from. Currently, I am mulling over "Out of Africa" or a biography. What's also great about this challenge is that it is full of books that I would have never considered picking up and reading otherwise.

I know that I won't be able to finish the list before the revival airs on Netflix, but I am hopping that by next fall I will definitely have read more than 36 books. The one disappointment is that I am not in college anymore, which means I can sit in a library corner for hours. I will have to settle for some homemade chia tea, I can't drink coffee which is a tragedy, and my cat to keep me company. Let me know if you have tried the challenge and what's your favorite book!
