The Rory Gilmore reading challenge

Io e Fede siamo fan del telefilm Gilmor Girls (che in Italia è conosciuto come "Una mamma per amica") e, se lo conoscente, sapete che una delle protagoniste è una accanita lettrice proprio come noi: Rory!
Curiosando su Pinterest ho trovato questo sito  ed ho pensato: "perchè no?". Quindi:

Fede and I are long time fans of Gilmore Girls and, if you know it, you know well that one of the principal character is a major book fan, just like us: Rory!
Snooping around Pinterest I found this website where there's a RORY GILMORE READING CHALLENGE (as you guessed from the post title) and I thought: "Why not?". So...

Ho scaricato l'elenco, che vi riporto, e ho visto che molti libri li ho già letti e che altri sono sulla mia lista.
Quindi... tenete sotto controllo il posto perchè potrebbero esserci aggiornamenti in ogni momento!!!
Buona lettura, Ale

I downloaded the list, that I'll put down below, and I saw that I've already read some and other were already on my list.
So keep an eye on this post because there might be some update anytime!!!
Happy reading, Ale.
