I love that you included books where the MC was all different ages. And the Missy Carmichael one sounds so sweet. I love that from your description it sounds like it's a coming of age of a 70 year old. We need that content more often in mainstream media. 😍❤️
I read The City Bakers Guide to Country Living after you mentioned it in your last Gilmore Girls readathon. It really does feel like Gilmore Girls in every way!
Hey! I first saw your channel from the video with a readathon announcement. It was the first time I have heard of the Gilmore Girls series. I gave it a try... and now I am in love with it. I am currently on the 3rd season. Thank you for the great recommendation and cozy gilmore girl vibes!!!
The Mitford series by Jan Karon. It is about a small town told from the perspective of the rector. There is a bakery and bookstore and so much more! Definitely a favorite for this time of year.
E.T. walk had me busting lol! Adding all these books to my list, thank you! I actually started Gilmore Girls over the summer and absolutely loved it! I only have the last episode of "A Year in the Life" left to watch and that will happen today. Not ready for it to be over waah!
I just finished the audiobook of “The Bookshop on The Corner”. It was so delightful. Totally the lighthearted book I needed! And the accent of the narrator was so wonderful to listen to.
Yes! Everyone has to listen to the audiobook version of Talking as Fast as I Can. It was amazing & SO fun to feel like you were hanging out with Lorelai Gilmore ❤️
For some reason, you just popped up in my recommended...I stopped your video halfway, borrowed The Bookshop on the Corner from an online library resource, and read it in one night. Now I can finish this video and get more recommendations :D Thank you!
So stoked for the Readathon! Last years was so cozy and fun☺️you would looooooove the Aisling books, Oh My God, What A Complete Aisling is basically Gilmore Girls set in Ireland
I loved that video! There’s definitely some books I’ll have to read. I‘m a new subscriber and a lot of people have probably mentioned this already but I‘m going to write it anyway: for all the people who do speak/understand german, there‘s a whole series (18 books) called „Gilmore Girls“ which literally tells the story of Rory and Lorelai! I don‘t know if they do exist in other languages and it‘s been quite a while since I read them, but I quite liked this series.
The Christmas Sisters was made into a Hallmark movie last year, titled North to Home. Chocolate chip cookie murder is also a movie in the Hallmark Hannah Swenson series. I watch way too much Hallmark in case you hadn't noticed but I am loving your book recommendations.
sarah addison allen has slight magical aspects to all of her books but they are mostly just cozy small town type reads, garden spells and it’s sequel remind me a lot of alice hoffman’s practical magic! 🤎
I've never seen a single gilmore girls episode but I love you and your work soooo

I recently read The Bookshop on the Corner and absolutely LOVED it! I need to read The Bookshop on the Shore ASAP. Also, Well Met is AMAZING!!! One of my favorite romances of 2019.
I've been rewatching the show and I'm coming up towards the end now so I've been feeling hints of that post show depression, like that void inside of you if you know what I mean , but I'm so thrilled to now have books to read that carry on the Gilmore girls spirit and fill that void temporarily
Besides Hannah Swensen series by Joanne Fluke, I also get Gilmore Girls vibes with Cozy Baked Mystery series by Kathleen Suzette, Tea Murder series by Vicki Delany; Love & Gelato series by Jenna Evans Welch, and Before The Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.
My #tbr just got bigger, thank you!!! I just downloaded the audiobook "Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls " & put others on my wishlist.
I literally woke up this morning thinking about your channel and hoping you would put out another video soon and then I spotted this. I was so happy! You are so adorable and I absolutely love your videos!!! I appreciate you!!!💖💖💖 p.s. Jenny Colgan is one of my favorite authors!
Great book choices!! I don't know if anyone in the comments mentioned this or noticed but the book Chocolate chip cookie murder is written by JoAnne Fluke but the main character is Hannah Swensen.
I see those Benedict Society and Ashton Place books on your shelf! My reading life changed so much after Harry Potter led me to the children's and YA sections of the library!
I love Bookshop on the corner. I read it 2 years ago and loved it. I’m planning to reread it this year and read more books by her, Jenny Colgan, this November and December. I’m also planning to read Lauren Graham books too.
Oh my gosh a book with my name in the title!! Haha. Also “Garden Spells” is a book I’ve read over and over again and recommend, it’s very “Practical Magic”-esque! ♥️
Your videos are adorable. I am a new subscriber and I was thinking about recommending Sarah Addison Allen and I am so glad to see someone beat me to it and recommend Garden Spells but you can't go wrong with any of Sarah Addison Allen books they are all addictive and magical. I highly recommend, “The Sugar Queen” by Sarah Addison Allen as your next read. You will love that book📚🧚🏻
I'm actually the one who recommended this book on the discord chat!! Thank you Desi for crediting me in the description 💕 If you would like to see more about Garden Spells (both an explanation and a spoiler-free review), it's linked there!
I agree with the Hannah Swenson Mystery series I'm on book 6. As well as A Bakeshop Mystery ny Ellie Alexander. The pitch line for it was Gilmore Girls with murder. Im on book 7 and loving them!
I was literally browsing the audiobooks on Libby to find a small town setting for the Gilmore Girls readathon and I saw the Christmas Sisters! Def going to have to pick it up now!
I recommend reading Laura Resau's "The Indigo Notebook" series. Its a series of three books, I just finished reading the first two, and I will be reading the final book for the Gilmore Girls Readathon. This book series features a mother and daughter relationship, that is much like Lorelai and Rory's, but instead of living in a small town, they have spent their whole lives traveling the world, and each year they move to a new country where they meet a whole new cast of characters, that gives you Stars Hollow vibes. Layla got pregnant at 19 when she was on a trip to Greece, she claims that she was drunk off the moon, and although she remembers details of Zeeta's father, she doesn't remember much about him except his love for Jimi Hendrix and guitar playing. After she got pregnant, her parents begged her to come home in order to raise her child, but she decided to continue traveling along with her daughter, and wherever they go, they are often mistaken for sisters or bffs, rather than as mother and daughter. Layla's personality reminds me so much of Lorelai, and Zeeta is just like Rory. These books are beautifully written, and i definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a Gilmore Girls like vibes.
I really love it but I want to cry. Almost every book you listed has not been translated into my native language😢 EDITED: AWHHH, WE MOVED TO THE USA! NOW I READ BOOKS IN ENGLISH WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS, AND I’M SO HAPPY ABOUT IT 😃
Hey Desi! I’ve been watching your channel for awhile now and I absolutely love it! I’ve been thinking about this book I read about a month ago titled The Binding by Bridget Collins and every time I watch one of your videos I think that you might like it. The cover is beautiful, it’s magical and atmospheric. It’s starts at the beginning of fall and moves into winter so it’ll be right up your alley. I just wanted to let you know about this book if you didn’t already. Thank you soo much for your videos and suggestions; they really put a smile on my face.
Hi Desi, I'm new to your channel and I love it so much!! I would recommend any Jenny Colgan book, any Joanne Fluke or any Josephine Moon book for cosy Gilmore Girls type reads.
Omg yes! I’m dying to get my hands on A Snowfall of Silver! I want to read it this winter ☺️ And I’m saving Under a Dancing Star for next spring/summer. I’m a very seasonal reader 🙈
@@DarlingDesi I wasn’t expecting A Snowfall of Silver and then one day the other week I went into the bookshop and found hidden in one of the bottom shelves! And yes same, I cannot read books set in warm places or during summer this time of year😂🎄
Sorry but, Joanne Fluke is the author. Hannah Swenson is the heroine/protagonist in the book. I only know this because I have watched the Murder, She Baked series on the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel. Love your channel.
I've never seen a single episode of Gilmore Girls :'( but I want to!! When I have the time to I 100% will! And always will watch & support your vids anyways of course
Oii, I loved the video and I would like you to add subtitles in Portuguese. I'm Brazilian and I still don't speak English very well, I love your videos and I don't want to stop watching because of subtitles 😞
I think you probably know this, but you switched the author and the main character's name for the Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder. I have been meaning to read the book because I have seen the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries tv movie of this book and it is so good!
