If you haven't seen the television show "Gilmore Girls" you are missing on out on some fast talking, diner food eating, book reading goodness. This blog is about celebrating the book reading aspect, but you might also find additional references to "Gilmore Girls" or reading in general throughout. Some awesome soul compiled a list of 349 books read or featured on "Gilmore Girls", and this blog is my attempt to read all of them in two years. Join me for the good, the bad, the oh-my-gosh-i-don't-wanna-read-that, and more. For every book I complete, I will be donating books to children.

Atonement and reading journals

I had posted a reading poll here, on Instagram, and on my personal Facebook page about what to read next, and the winner was Atonement by Ian McEwan. I have read Atonement before, but it has been quite some time. While I remember the overall story, I had forgotten how haunting some scenes feel! Have you read it? What were your thoughts?

This past week has been a doozy and I've only been able to read four or five pages at a time before I fall asleep! I WANT to keep reading because this is such a good book, but I've been exhausted and stressed out all week long. Hopefully this week will be better and I can read for a longer period of time each time I sit down (or lay down in bed) to read.

I've also been searching high and low for a reading log that fits my reading habits and needs. Having not been able to find one, I created one for myself! I've popped it up at my Etsy shop if you are interested...
