I’m so excited to launch the podcast into 2023 with a special guest and reading challenge to start the year strong.

Today, I’m chatting with Jules Buono of The Literary Lifestyle on all things Gilmore Girls. She’s created an AMAZING list of over 500 books that have been read, referenced, mentioned or seen on The Gilmore Girls and created The Rory Gilmore Book Club Challenge that I’ll be joining in on this year, too.

Come listen as Jules shares three of the most popular books from her challenge that we need to read to start 2023 strong.

And the best part? These are all books that I haven’t read yet, so I’m digging into some intentional reading right from the start of this new year.

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon, Bookshop and Libro.fm affiliate stores. Thanks for your bookish support!

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd (Amazon / Bookshop / Libro.fm)

Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain (Amazon / Bookshop / Libro.fm)

Now, it’s your turn!
