Gilmore Girls Reading List: Books Mentioned on the TV Show, Part II

Introduction: Gilmore Girls Reading List: Books Mentioned on the TV Show, Part II

Yesterday we started the series on the Gilmore Girls Reading List. As many of you already know, this year on The Invisible Mentor Blog, we are reading a book a week for 52 weeks. There are many reading challenges, but what makes this Challenge different is that we are connecting the ideas from the books we read, so it is important to record the big ideas from each book.

At the end of each month, review your notes on each book you read, then connect the ideas from the four books you read that month. If you are a Gilmore Girls fan, then read a book each week from the Gilmore Girls Reading List.

If you read the way that I suggest for the Invisible Mentor Challenge, you will become more creative and able to generate a wealth of new ideas.
