I know I should pick a book fandom for this post, but I had to write about Gilmore Girls. Hey, it's bookish.You should check out the Gilmore Girls Reading Challenge if you haven't already.

Rory and her books - there are 339 books mentioned during it's seven year run. Rory has a book with her all the time or talks about books often. I'm working on this list, slowly.

Pop Culture references - Lorelai and Rory use a LOT of pop culture references and it's amazing. So fun when they quote books and movies. 

JESS! - I am completely Team Jess (especially after watching Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life). He's the bad boy and bookish. He challenges Rory and understands her.

Melissa McCarthy as Sookie - One of the best supporting characters. She's funny and kooky. I can't imagine anyone else playing Sookie.

Luke & Lorelai - I was always rooting for them to get together. The tension that was always there and frustration when one of them was dating someone - it took a long time for them to finally figure it out, but I think it was so worth it.

The Fast Talking - Lorelai and Rory and known for their fast talking. I read that their scripts were so much longer than a normal script for a show since they speak so fast, there's a lot more dialogue. 

Stars Hollow - The folks from Stars Hollow are a quirky bunch. Kirk, Miss Patty, Taylor Doose. The kind of town where everyone knows everyone. 

Michel - Oh how I adore Michel and his snarkiness! And his accent.

Emily Gilmore - Always loved Emily, but her character grows during Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life. Poor misunderstood Emily. 

Lorelai's Humour - It's perfectly hilarious, sometimes snarky, sometimes sassy.

I wish I had found it sooner than last year during my pregnancy, but I will definitely rewatch multiple times and share with my daughter once she's old enough.

Have you watched Gilmore Girls? What do you love about it?
