Hi, readers; I’m Kristine! Gilmore Girls super fan. Literary devotee. TV/film aficionado. Chronic illness advocate. Writer.
I’m passionate about helping people use literature to process and grow from tough experiences, discover their best selves, and develop better connections to the people and the world around them.
Each book from the Rory Gilmore book list will be featured on the blog in a personal essay with book quotations and pop culture references as I go through the list to reveal the lessons I learned, the emotions I’ve felt, and the ideas I’ve pondered - all to help you discover how books can change your life.
You’ll feel like Rory Gilmore or feel like Lorelai Gilmore in no time with all the Stars Hollow vibes.
