#ReadLikeRory

I just finished watching this series for the first time (I know, I‘m late to the party). This cute little book perfectly captures the relationship between Lorelai and Rory, and the lovable quirkiness of Stars Hollow.

#GilmoreGirls #ReadLikeRory

LeahBergen I have never watched this series. 😮 12mo
curiouserandcurioser @rubyslippersreads love this series so much-a favorite for my daughter and I:) 12mo
rubyslippersreads @curiouserandcurioser I can‘t believe it took me this long to watch. And then yesterday, I found the entire DVD set in a thrift shop. The packaging is adorable. 12mo
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen I think you‘d like it, especially the emphasis on Rory‘s voracious reading. 12mo
curiouserandcurioser @rubyslippersreads that is so wonderful and a great find!:) I hope you enjoy it as much as we do❤ 12mo

#AugustWrapUp
A great month for reading despite going back to work! Fav book is tagged.

My desire to join the #MagicalReadathon2019 (better late than never!) led me to most of the books I read. I successfully earned an Outstanding for the #OWLsReadathon2019! One of the books also doubled for my #ReadLikeRory challenge.

I also finally finished both the Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter series, the latter for #HPBuddyRead.

Quite proud! 🤩

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great job, and some truly great books! 5y
laur89 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Thanks!! Are any of your favs on this list?? 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I loved Narnia when I first read it, and Harry Potter is always a great read and reread. 5y

Mehso-so

Work demands have turned me into a weekend reader & poster!! I miss opening up Litsy every day!

Book felt slow and even though it did give some great insight into life with people diagnosed with mental illness such as schizophrenia, I was sort of bored through most of the story. Also, I didn‘t understand any of the (few) Patty Hearst references made throughout.

However - this satisfies my DADA OWL!

All of these lovelies came home from a thrift store haul! 😍

Most are for my #ReadLikeRory challenge, and some just caught my attention. The book on top is a Canterbury Classics collection of Mark Twain stories- sprayed gold edges & a leather cover! ❤️

Lcsmcat Lots of goodies there! I‘ve read at least half of those and they‘re all good. 5y
laur89 @Lcsmcat So glad to hear! I bought these simply because I‘d heard of the titles, and had no idea what the reviews looked like. 5y

Repost for @laur89 :
Alright people. I‘m taking this on for #ReadLikeRory (my own #GilmoreGirlsReadingChallenge).

This one is a #CHUNKSTER at over 1000 pages. I‘m sort of intimidated, but it‘ll be Mr. Dreiser‘s birthday on the 27th, so I‘m doing this in honor of him. 🎂

I would totally love to #BuddyRead this with anyone who‘s interested! Hefty novels like these are better with friends... so comment & tag @laur89 if this book catches your eye!

Lcsmcat @laur89 When are you planning to read this? I‘m interested, if I can fit it in. 5y
Aimeesue The Ebook is only 45¢ if that sways anyone. That's only .00041322 cents a page! A true bargain for a masterpiece. ? 5y
laur89 @Lcsmcat Starting it this month! But it‘ll be totally informal. Read whenever you want, and share your thoughts along the way/see others‘ posts about the story! 5y

laur89 @Aimeesue 🤣 That sounds like one purchase... that leads to another... and before you know it, you‘ve spent $30! But that is a compelling reason to join in! 5y
Lcsmcat Sounds good. Count me in! Do you have a hashtag? 5y
Lcsmcat Just pulled my copy off the shelf and my edition is _only_ 874 pages. 😆 5y

Hestapleton Hey I‘ve got a copy of this on my shelf for forever! Totally down for a buddy read. 5y
laur89 @Hestapleton Yay!! It‘s going to be totally informal. Basically, read through the month of August and share on Litsy any thoughts about the characters or moments that make you go 😮🤔😠😭, etc. (like any excerpts/quotes that hit you in the feels). 5y
Hestapleton @laur89 awesome! :) 5y
twohectobooks Hey, I just happen to have already started this on July 16 and will join you if that‘s ok! I‘m a little over halfway through.. my copy is 814 pages long. 5y
laur89 @twohectobooks Of course it‘s ok!! More readers always welcome 😃 I‘ve just gotten to book 2. Major thought so far: Hortense and that STUPID fur coat ... 🙄😒 I want to get to the juicy part already! 5y
