'I smell snow!'

It's the perfect time of year to hunker down and chat Gilmore Girls. Chris and Jenny welcome Kristine from the Gilmore Book Club to the pod to tell us all about the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge, chat Gilmore Girls and have a book club. We chose The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides off Rory's list.

We hope you love the episode and if you decide to take on the challenge do download the reading list from Kristine's website and follow her on social media. She is @gilmorebookclub on Instagram and TikTok.
