Gilmore Girls is more than just a mere TV show—it’s a cultural touchstone. Maybe you grew up with Rory and her misadventures in love and school, or else discovered the show later in life and appreciated all of Lorelai’s struggles and snark. This show has captured hearts, entertained young minds, and created a number of quotable moments (“Oy, with the poodles already!”). Not to mention that it had everything going for it: a fun, fast-talking mother and daughter; a grumpy café owner who was impossible not to love; a scenic little town where everyone knew everyone; Sookie and Michel’s excellent commentary; and a never-ending list of pop culture references.
If you’ve already exhausted Rory’s reading list for literary inspiration, here are eight books sure to delight any Gilmore Girls fan. You’ll find something to enjoy, whether you’re looking to relive some of that Stars Hollow magic or just trying to find something to fill the void (besides yet another full-series rewatch).
