Gilmore Girls Book Challenge

I am a HUGE fan of Gilmore Girls and have seen every episode a million times… ok so not a million times but you catch my drift.  As I go through the list I’ve made a few edits.  For example, the list includes both The Divine Comedy by Dante and Inferno… well, Inferno is part of The Divine Comedy so no need to have it separate.  Same with Complete Novels of Dawn Powell.  There is a later listing for some of the novels separated.  So here is my edited list.  As I read the books I will cross them out and if I decide to review them I will update them with the link to my review.
