book challenge
11:04 AM
Hello friends, and Happy New Year!
My resolution for 2017 is to read, not only the books that have been on my "to read list" for far too long I have loved books since I was very young but this year I'm planning to read as many as I can get my hands on!
Now, I needed some help. I wanted to find some new reading material and also broaden my horizons to more authors and titles. As I was meandering around the internet one evening I stumbled across a lovely blog called "Blogs of a Bookaholic". I found a super fun reading challenge there that I just had to be a part of. The Rory Gilmore Book Challenge! It is a list of every book, read or mentioned on Gilmore Girls. (click on the link to see the full reading list)
For those who don't know, Gilmore Girls is a fun and witty TV show about a mother (Lorelai) and daughter (Rory). Rory Gilmore longs to go to Harvard and study journalism. She is an avid reader and seems to always have her nose stuck in a book. Rory primarily reads classic literature, which is exactly what I want to read more of! So basically, this is the PERFECT reading challenge for me.
This challenge consist of 349 books. A daunting number, I know. While I most likely won't read every book on the list I figured it was a good place to begin and a great way to be introduced to more classics. My plan is to take away a few of the titles I don't plan to read off the existing list and add a few more that I have been wanting to read, such as G. K. Chesterton's works, a few more of Charles Dickens novels, Keats, Tennyson, and some historical fiction. I already plan to start David Copperfield by Dickens this January so I suppose I'm off to a good start!
Wish me luck!
