So I came across a list of every book Rory Gilmore has read on the Gilmore Girls. I will now make this list my list. Instead of continuing onward with my lists that I did the past two years, here and here, I’ve decided to finish this. This list of 250 books. I’ve crossed out books that I’ve read and have remembered reading. Others, like Pinocchio, I will re-read.
Can I finish all these books in one year? Only time will tell…
Since it’s my 26th birthday, I now can talk about what I’ve accomplished this past year. This is a list of the 25 things I wanted to accomplish before my 26th birthday as posted here.
