Gilmore Girls Book Tag

Who else is freaking ecstatic that Gilmore Girls is coming back?!? 
I am in love with this show and I have been binge watching the entire series all over again on Netflix. I can't wait until the revival!! I just hope the four episodes they have coming out will bring the series to a great close (cause, let's face it, the last season did not end like I wanted it to #teamjess #lorelaiandlukeforever).

In honor of this wonderful, wonderful show, I created a Gilmore Girls tag! This is the first book tag I have ever created myself and it was so much fun. Searching for Gilmore Girls gifs brought back so many wonderful memories. Have I mentioned how much I adore this show?

Rory and Lorelei - a book with an awesome mother/daughter relationship
We'll Always Have Paris: A Mother/Daughter Memoir by Jennifer Coburn - a book where a mom takes her daughter all over Europe throughout her childhood . . . it's kind of awesome.

Rory - favorite character who is a bookworm
Okay, this one was tough. There are SO MANY amazing characters who love books. There are about fifty characters that come to mind, but my absolute favorite is Liesel from The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
Paris - a character who is snarky and completely honest, almost to a fault
Parker from Not If I See You First by Eric Windstorm - she didn't take anything from anybody and she didn't hesitate to tell people what she thought. I could imagine it would be hard to be friends with Parker in real life, but like Paris, you would grow to love her.

Lane - book with an awesome best friend
Gabby from Maybe In Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid - Everyone needs a Gabby in their lives.

Sookie - a character who makes you laugh
Denton from Denton's Little Deathdate by Lance Rubin - Denton just made me laugh in so many ways.

Lorelei and Luke - a book about best friends who fall in love
Emmy & Oliver from Emmy & Oliver by Robin Fenway - They were so adorable together!

Jess - most swoon worthy fictional boyfriend 
Thorne from Cress by Marissa Meyer! There was just no contest. I adore him.

Lorelai - character who is super clever and quick witted
Shahrzad from The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh - I loved her barbs!

Logan - character who is a bad boy with that you can't help but love 
Okay, I am going to repeat myself here and name a character from The Wrath and the Dawn: Khalid! Yes, he has done awful things (much worse than Logan), but he has his reasons and I just want to hug him and make it all better (much like Logan).

I tag anyone who is a Gilmore Girls fan!! Have you ever watched Gilmore Girls? Are you excited about the revival?

  2. I haven't ever watched Gilmore Girls but I so badly want to, it looks SO GOOD! One of my favorite mother/daughter relationships is between Frances and her mom in the book Radio Silence by Alice Oseman - it's lovely! Great tag! :)

    1. Bookaholic 007, OMG you MUST watch Gilmore Girls NOW!! It is amazing. I don't think I have heard of Radio Silence, but if it has a great mother/daughter relationship, I may have to check that out. Those are few and far between in books, unfortunately.

  3. I admit, I have only seen a handful of GG episodes. I have no idea why, you'd think I would have loved it. It just happened to fall during a time where I wasn't watching many shows, I think. These are great choices, especially Emmy & Oliver, Denton, and absolutely ANYTHING involving Shazi and/or Khalid! And I WILL probably watch the revival, because I watched enough of it to know the basics, and frankly, I LOVE this wave of revivals. Can someone get the gang from Dawson's back together? Felicity? Please?

    1. Shannon, oh this would be the perfect time to binge watch it. It's SO GOOD! And okay, if there were revivals of Dawson's creek or Felicity . . . that would be the icing on the cake. I would LOVE one of Dawson's Creek for sure!

  5. OMG!! I love this tag! I loved Gilmore Girls although I'll admit the show frustrated me a lot too.

  6. I've never read We'll Always Have Paris...but when I saw it - I immediately thought of Paris Geller haha, because of how this is a Gilmore Girls tag!
    I'm super excited for the revival - this means I can finally finish watching Gilmore Girls! I kind of didn't watch the last episode of Gilmore Girls, because I didn't want it to end! :(
    Thanks for stopping by at Corralling Books!

    1. Geraldine, haha you are so right! I love the character of Paris, but for some reason I missed that when I chose the book. Ha. I can understand why you didn't watch the last episode. I didn't either until last year. I was so bummed when it was cancelled.

  9. I have never wanted to do a tag more than this one! Thank you so much for creating this it's exactly what I've been missing in my life. I've been a Glimore Girls fan since I was like 10 and I am SO EXCITED for the revivial. Also, you're offically one of my favorite people ever because #teamJess! And I love how you didn't give Dean a question.

    I'm going to do this as soon as I can. Also, I'm dying over the fact that you picked Thorne for the Jess question, I agree completely! You're also really making me want to read The Wrath and The Dawn. =)

    1. Oh Shay, I really hope you do this one! I would love to see your choices! When I heard about the revival, I may or may not have squealed in delight. I am so freaking happy. And yeah, I thought about giving Dean a question for about 2.5 seconds, but then I thought "nah, better not." I just didn't think his character was worth it. And I liked Logan better than Dean. But I am still #teamJess all the way!
