Gilmore Girls Book Tag

In honor of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life premiering on Friday, November 25th, the coming days will be full of Gilmore Love! This is my version of the Gilmore Girls Book Tag. I watched vlogger readbyzoe's version and then I added characters that I felt were too important to not be included and I also ignored the prompts. So the basic premise of this tag is that you pair a book to a character based on their personality.

Lorelai Gilmore: a fiercely independent, determined, hilarious, caffeine addict who wears her heart on her sleeve.

The Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead: There are so many books that could be paired with Lorelai due to their strong female leads, but I chose one of my absolute favorites. Rose Hathaway, one of the leading ladies in the series, is so strong and fierce. She doesn't need a man to complete her and could get on all alone if she had to, but as Lorelai eventually does, she finds love and it only makes her stronger in the best possible way.

Rory Gilmore:  a determined, intelligent, moral, caring, curious caffeine addict, who, like her mother, wears her heart on her sleeve. (I resonate with Rory the most, out of all of the characters on the show.)

A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks: I know that A Walk to Remember is probably the greatest tear jerker that I have ever read, but Jamie reminds me so much of Rory. She could care less that she is dying, all she cares about is those that she loves and that they are happy after she dies. She is truly awe-inspiring, just as Rory is.

Emily Gilmore: a strong (as all Gilmore women are), classy, snobbish woman who only wants the best for her family, but has a strange way of showing it. 

Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen: Now I haven't read this book and I only know the basic premise of it, but for some reason, when I think of Emily Gilmore, I think Pride & Prejudice and that is my only validation for it.

Richard Gilmore: an intelligent, stoic, protective patriarch who loves and has so much pride in his granddaughter more than anyone else in the entire world,

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee: Richard reminds so much of Atticus Finch. The way he acts with his family, his work ethic, and everything else in the novel reminds me of  Richard. 

________________________________________________________________________________

Luke Danes: the true father figure in Rory's life, hater of cell phones, constantly angry, incredible uncle, a man who does his best and the only person that should ever make coffee in all of Stars Hollow. 

American Sniper by Chris Kyle: As I was wracking my brain for a character or a book that remined me of Luke Danes, the only one that came to mind was American Sniper. I know that there must be a better and more suited novel out there, but I still feel like Chris Kyle and Luke Danes would be great friends and fishing buddies!

Dean: the perfect first boyfriend

The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins:  Peta and Dean are so similar. They would both do anything for the girls that they love. They are certainly the perfect firsts!

Jess: the dark, mysterious new boy, who has a very sweet side that only a few are allowed to see.

A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks: Now I know that I already used this for Rory, but it really is the only option for Jess too. He was raised by a single mother and was labelled the bad boy, just like Landon; but with the help of a girl, his true side showed itself. Jess is so smart and such a deep and passionate thinker. (I may be slightly biased, though.)

Logan: the typical rich and reckless 20-something-year-old. He doesn't care about anyone but himself and getting laid, when we first meet him anyway. 

The Girl Online series by Zoe Sugg: Logan and Rory's relationship reminds me a lot of Noah and Penny's relationship. Noah is a popstar who could have anyone but he wants Penny and he's good for Penny. He helps Penny bring herself out of her shell. Logan is the same way when it comes to Rory. 

_________________________________________________________________________________

Lane: a smart and sassy talented musician but an even better best friend

The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series by Ann Brashares: The friendship that Rory and Lane has is unbreakable, just like the friendships between the sisterhood. I hope to one day have a friendship as strong, safe, and endearing as theirs.

Suki: a silly, sweet, amazing friend and cook

Tanya Bakes by Tanya Burr: Of course I had to go with a cookbook, but the personality behind Tanya Burr is so sweet and naive, that she reminds me so much of Suki

_________________________________________________________________________________

Paris Geller: she starts out as the annoying arch nemisis but ends up as a solid best friend. 

Burn for Burn series by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian: girls in this series were brought together because of a common vengeance, but Paris and Rory were brought together because of their common love of knowledge.
