Nog geen vastomlijnde leesplannen voor 2020? Denk dan eens aan al die boeken die voorbij komen in de tv-serie Gilmore Girls. Doe mee met de #gilmoregirlsreadingchallenge .

Gilmore Girls boekenleggers

De Australische schrijver Patrick Lenton heeft de boeken die voorbij komen in de tv-serie ‘Gilmore Girls’ op een rijtje gezet, volgens hem zijn dat er 339. De Nederlandse Merel van Etsy webshop Nostalgic Hearts heeft deze Buzzfeed boekenlijst gecheckt. Zij ontdekte dat ins ommige gevallen films betreft en er bleken ook nog boektitels te ontbreken. Tevens heeft ze diverse boeken uit de lijst weg gelaten omdat het hier om woordenboeken, reisgidsen en enkele dummy-boeken van personage Kirk gaat. Uiteindelijk komt zij op een totaal van 261 boeken. Deze lijst heeft ze verwerkt in een set van zes boekenleggers en is te koop via haar Etsy-shop.

Behalve dat je een exemplaar uit deze vrolijk gekleurde set als bladwijzer kunt gebruiken, kun je op deze dubbelzijdige boekenleggers ook afvinken welke boeken je reeds gelezen hebt.

Het is dus aan jou of je wilt gaan voor de 261 of 338 boeken (ik ontdekte al snel een dubbeling in de lijst, dus die heb ik zelf hier in mindering gebracht) die in de Gilmore Girls tv-serie genoemd worden. In ieder geval kun je een start maken met je leesplannen voor 2020. Dan is de volgende vraag; begin je bij het eerste boek, het laatste boek, kies je er willekeurig één uit of ga je voor het boek dat toch al bij jou op de boekenplank staat?

In deze blogpost vind je een aantal foto’s van mijn Gilmore Girls collectie die ik door de jaren heen verzameld heb.

Laat de leeschallenge beginnen…

NB Titels die cursief gedrukt zijn heb ik gelezen en boeken voorzien van een * zijn niet echt leesboeken en ben ik dan ook niet van plan te gaan lezen.
