THE RORY GILMORE READING LIST // how many have I read?! 

OMG YOU DO LOOK ALIKE! It's your eyes!!

You and Rory look so much alike!!! Whenever I see thumbnails for you videos, I always think it’s Rory for a split second

That list made me feel like I was a bad reader or something even though I know Rory is a fictional character that didn't actually read all those books by the time she was 18.

the fact that your name is ciara foster reminds me of clara forester (dean’s sister) i’m-

Do you think you could go through Jess Mariano's Reading List as well

My first thought was "huh she even looks like Rory" 😅

The Rory-vibes are strong with this one :)

I did this the other day and got 11. 😲 I will be reading a lot more of them from now though. 🙂

I absolutely LOVED THIS!!! ☕💕 I think it was destined that we unintentionally uploaded similar videos a day apart from one another!!! 🥰 I love that we both have so much to bond over!!! I'm very excited for both of us to read more from this list!!!

I feel like some of these books were mentioned by Lorelai, like the Ya-Ya sisterhood and Deenie :)

omg I highly recommend reading Hamlet, In Cold Blood, Life of Pi, and the Iliad. All are AMAZING.

Sameee... I love rory and lorelai. Honestly, she inspires me so much. I would love to read all of her books. If ever want to study and do good on a test. I watch the show and it really motivates me

I just took the quiz and got 72! But a few of them were questionable because we only did segments of them in school (like from the poetry or story collections), and also I've been out of school for so long that I've forgotten some of them, hahaha. Gilmore Girls was still on when I was in high school, but I was devoted to it and also wanted to be just like Rory.

Yes, lovely. Your mum's right, you really do look like Rory :) I just watched your Rory read-a-thon as the very first of your channel and that was my first thought.

I....genuinely clicked on this video because I thought it was the actress who plays Rory hosting it. You do look like her a lot lol

I'm so glad I found you. I started watching Gilmore Girls with my mother recently..and I love all the characters, especially Rori. Your videos motivate me read more books. I love reading but I'm bad at it. I have ADHD and it's very hard for me to concentrate but every time I watch videos like these it helps haha

Quijote is read - Keehoteh. ;) J in Spannish is read a bit like the h in hot, though it's a more guttural sound. Not exactly the same but if you try to say it like that you may end up doing it ;)

It's your coloring, the eyes and eyebrows. Yeah, you resemble Rory a lot! I took the Buzzfeed quiz and only checked 51 out of 339. So I have a way to go, and it would probably take me at least ten years to read them all. (I wouldn't want to avoid other new books and reread my favorites in all that time.) Excellent video!

As an English major, I've read so many Norton Anthology books hahaha

I’ve always thought you looked alike, it’s true 😂 There are so many on this list, but also so many classics. I think most shows are like that, they only show their characters reading classics because it’s easy to make them look clever 😒

Loved the Idea of the video, I also think you look like Rory 😊. Btw I really recommend Fahrenheit 451, it's amazing and it became one of my favourite books💛

i cant get over how much you look like rory!! so pretty😁

This is such an amazing idea! (I haven't read so many of these though... might be a project for the future.) I can definitely see that you look a bit like Rory :D Also, I just quickly wanted to mention that I really admire how articulate you are. I feel like there are barely any cuts in your videos!

You should give to Atonement a try, this is really an evident master made so peculiar and it gets you kind of disliking the principal but at the same time feeling sympathetic, So I must say you would not regret Loving these series of videos, lots of love from méxico

'The Book Leo' just completed the challenge and linked you as her inspiration. I am excited to see another exciting review of this topic. You have a new subscriber and fan. Cheers

I LOVE GILMORE GIRLS!!! Sookie is my fave...

I jusst started watching your videos and you reminded me so much of rory and now you did this! Loved it!!

You really look like Rory in this video! Haha very beautiful. I used to wish I was Rory too growing up. I even started carrying a book with me everywhere I went just like her.

I have never watched the show, but I tried the list yesterday and managed 30. :) I think this is a very English-speaker/American list. Obviously I read very different classics in school. So I think I did quite good.

I love Gilmore Girls. Nice video. It is perfect to practice my English listening. Your accent is pretty. Little difficult for me but I think I got it 95% of it. You speak so fast 💚 Xoxo from Brazil

I’ve never watched the show, but now I want to! I got 86, which was more than 95% of quiz-takers. It’s always interesting to see these kinds of lists, and fun to compare and get inspiration - but no one should feel inferior because of their result, because 1) Rory Gilmore is a fictional character and we can assume that if she was real, she’d have read quite a few books that turned out not to be worth her time, and that’s not reflected here; also 2) in the end, it’s a game of chance, because I’m sure most of the people watching this video have read several hundred books over their lifetime, and to have even a small overlap out of two samples of a few hundred when so many books exist, is actually pretty remarkable, statistically speaking 😄 Thanks for a fun and engaging video! I have about 2000 words’ worth of thoughts about what constitutes a literary canon and why Rory is both relevant and irrelevant to that, but I’ll spare you 😅

I read only 10 of these books, but I hope I get to read more of these amazing books

I only read 10 but I’m currently reading another one, own many more and wanted to read much more

LOVE that you and Carolyn had the same idea, and I've also been meaning to do this, so thank you for finally giving me the push I needed haha

Was actually able to check 50! So about 75% more than most (humble brag) To be fair, I’ve been a massive fan of the show (#teamjess) since forever, and have attempted to finished the booklist many times before 😅

Did you see the Gilmore Girls reboot that came out a couple of years ago? I hope they do another season. How they left it was a crazy cliffhanger!!! Rosemarys Baby is a good, very dark book. There’s also a sequel called Son of Rosemary. I have it but haven’t actually read it yet. But it’s very high on my TBR. Sybil is a great movie based on a real life person. I have the book but I haven’t read it just yet. Sally Fields stares in the movie. It is absolutely gut wrenching the trauma she suffered in her childhood that made her that way.

I'm at about 38 or something. It's interesting I have a lot of the same books as you but there are still some on my list that you don't have an visa versa!

I’ve read 48 of them as well. As an English graduate I feel bad I haven’t read some of them yet 😅 but I’ll get there ✨

no but why did i think you were literally Rory with that thumbnail HAHAHA LITERALLY DOPPELGANGERS

I've only read 21 of them!! :( But I own a lot more! now you have me wanting to make my way through this list :)

just fond out your channel and im absolutely loving!!

Omg I just took the test and got 100!!

I love this idea!! I am also a huge Gilmore Girls fan girl 😍😍 I don’t know how well I’d do on this quiz either 😂😂 I love some classics, but others.. not so much 😳

i got 30 (though technically 29 cause inferno is apart of the divine comedy) and SO many were on my list but i think buzzfeed missed a few and didn't take into account that Rory probably read all the Harry Potter's and LOTR books

I've read 76 of them.

You look so much like Rory and also I would recommend atonement, I adored it, I wasn’t a fan to begin with but the overall novel is so so interesting I would really recommend x

GIRL IDK BUT YOU ARE VERY SIMILAR TO RORY🤩💓

Hi, Rory 😉 seriously, your channel is amazing👍

if your interested in fiction about witch craft and the witch trials i recommend 'the burning' by laura bates, it follows two stories one of a girl accused of being a witch (which is a true story) and is a really enjoyable and interesting read.

You do look like Rory! I like the plant behind you, what type of plant is that? Is it hard to take care of? I am the worst with plants 🌱

Reading that whole list would be such an accomplishment!

I got only 36 and i was shocked.... with how many books a read every month i expected better. At the same time i'm not that surprise because most of her books are classics and i don't like classics i force myself to read them, at least one a month, but i prefer historical fiction or fantasy

YES you DO look like Rory !!

interesting how you said the crucible is about the Salem witch trials and Witches, it does seem like that, but it’s more reminiscent of McCarthyism in the US in the 50s. It’s still a crazy interesting read

I got over 30, but mainly because I'm German and read all the fairy tales which aren't really books to be fair. I could get at least 10 more if I ticked off all the movie versions that I have watched from the list oops

I've only read 26 of them which isn't very good. Especially when a vast majority of the ones that I have read is because they were on school required reading lists or the bookclub pick for a thing I did for a couple summers in high school. I think the only ones that I've actually read for fun were the two Harry Potter books mentioned and Little Women.

Was quite shocked to see The Fountainhead on there. I LOVED the book, and it says so many things about the creative process-namely, staying true to ones vision. BUUUUT, some messages from it should NOT be taken so literally. It’s a fun and fast read, despite the extremely long page count! 😆

You two look so much à like. I have read 34 from the list and have quite a few on my tbr

McEwan is a tough one- I hated Enduring Love (also on A-Level reading list) but loved On Chesil Beach and The Children Act!

Almost all of the classics I've read I read freshman year in high school because back them I was a kid so I had no money or ride to the library and I realized that you could download classics for free on iBooks. So I read a TON of classics but once I got older I just stopped because I have money for new books and can drive myself places.

Omg I loooove that plant pot and the plant!! What plant is it??? So big and fits in such a small pot. Love love. I'm trully dying to know.

You should read atonement! Really liked it

I hated Enduring Love too, it might even be my least favourite book of all time so I never made it to Atonement either!

I've read 20 out of the list. All of the poetry ones I haven't read would probably be the first ones I'll tackle once I make a wishlist of unread books.

Namaste 🙏🏽 because you like the dystopian genre, I think you would thoroughly enjoy We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, it's amazing and One by David Karp, also brilliant. Both I enjoyed more that BNW and 1984, although they are still both quite brilliant

atonement was pretty good! kind of clear that it was written by man if that makes sense? but still good!!

I subscribed because Gilmore Girls is my favorite show also!

Don Quixote by Cervantes it’s pronounced don “key-hot-eh”

You should do a video about the movies mentioned in the show

Got 74 on this quiz and was mortified af . Rory makes you feel so unaccomplished 😣

Nietzsche is pronounced knee-chuh

I thought it was the actress

You look so much like Rory! Wow!

Hahaha loved this video!!

I’ve never watched the Gilmores but here I am anyway!

Omg, I love your videos 😍♥️ love from Brazil

you look SO MUCH like rory!!!!

Been looking for this... thanks a lot

i needed thisssssssss

how do you like the girl, interrupted movie? would like to hear your thoughts as you've obviously studied the book thoroughly

omggg you look like rory😍😍sweetie

You and Rory definitely look alike, it's almost like you're her lost twin (or she yours) hahaha! However, I don't think Rory aged well (emotionally), as she loses most of her 16-year-old qualities, which to be honest were what made us fall in love with her in the first place... So keep being your wonderful self!!

I would highly recommend five people you meet in heaven, it is so good!

14 minutes into the video and realizing that I am not as well read as I thought that I was! Yikes

She literally said Arjuna ARUJNA.. BTW Loved the video🤍

I got 50 and as a Foreign Lit graduate I feel quite bad :') there's still time to do better, though!

Does anyone know where her plant pot is from??

To kill a mockingbird is brilliant.

Semi related question. I’m also an English Major. I have gone into this major where I feel like I would be happy in any path it takes me. How did you know what you wanted to pursue (job wise) with it.

Which Ian McEwan book did you not like? I've read quite a few of his and have found them to be so inconsistent. Some of them are lovely and some of them are just straight trash.

Omg you're a Rory doppelganger!!!!

:0 a lot of these books were just a part of my curriculum as a kid lol I’m American so maybe that’s why?? But most of my lit professors were international and MEN ! Idk kind of want to know what it is you have read as I’m assuming you’re English??? Lol

What's the book that Jess took from her room in S2 when they first met?

I somehow managed to read 76 of these books. 😂

i am starting the list soon!

If you like true crime, you should check out In Cold Blood, it's wonderful.

I got 35! How?!?!

You are an Alexis Bledel look alike!! Of course I'm going to trust you. 💁🏻

Thought you were Rory by looking at the thumbnail 😂♥️

I got 36 books for “higher than 68% of rest takers.”
