Gilmore To Read: Jessica Joyce's The Ex Vows Is A Great Book To Bring To Therapy

On this lovely Thursday, I am joined by Jessica Joyce, the author of Reading Is Sexy's August pick-- The Ex Vows. Georgia, the main character of The Ex Vows, is a blend of Rory's character traits with Lorelai's lost relationship with Luke. Jessica has noticed some patterns about releasing your first and second novels and shares how she gets her brain ready to write. She's of course a Gilmore girls fan and reveals which of Rory's team she's on and why! We love a why! And of course, we have a spoiler chat about The Ex Vows (listen out for the warning!) and how crafting such beautiful emotional arcs for both Georgia and Eli was a lot like taking them to therapy. Next month, we'll be reading The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna and The Third Gilmore Girl by Kelly Bishop.

Gilmore to Consider #40: The Seasonal Palette of Amy Sherman-Palladino

Where you call, we will answer! This week's episode has us considering what seasonal vibes Amy Sherman Palladino gave to her other shows, if Rory actually felt remorseful after sleeping with a married Dean Forester, and if the reason the fandom is so hard on Zack lies in the fact that we're always comparing him to Dave Rygalski.

Gilmore to Consider #39: Are Jess Mariano and Marty Two Sides of the Same Coin?

You called, we answered. We’ve been deep in the trenches for our Gilmore Girls Summer!!! Eating strawberry shortcake, drinking lemonade, even rollerskating! But our besties had a variety of questions about our last few episodes that we’ve been dying to answer. What would we give to see Amy’s Season 7 and 8 play out? Is it always better to save your rewatch for the fall? And did Amy bring Jess back in Season 6 to fill the role of Marty? Would Marty giving us the “Why Did You Drop Out Of Yale?” have packed the same punch? Grab a cup of (iced)coffee and get comfortable, because Tara and Haley have more to say.

It Should've Been Summer in Stars Hollow

Last week we talked about how the girlies spent their summers on the show, but how could the Gilmore girls have spent their summer if things had been left a little differently? You asked, we answered. What if Luke had made amends with Rachel over the summer in Season One? What if Rory had sent Jess that letter from Washington in Season 3? And what if Rory had told Emily about her affair with Dean during their European adventure? Grab a cup of (iced)coffee and get comfortable, because Tara and Haley have more to say.

Yulin Kuang’s Fangirl Heart Led Her To Her Creative Writing Career

Hi book besties! Welcome back to another episode of Gilmore To Read. Today is one of my favorite episodes with the one and only Yulin Kuang— author, director, screenwriter, photographer, and amateur ice skater. You might have heard she’s adapting two of Emily Henry novels for the screen, but her debut novel How To End A Love Story proves she has a precise voice all of her own.  In this episode, we talk about Reading Is Sexy's May pick How To End A Love Story (spoiler chat at the end per usual!) and its NaNoWrMo beginnings. Plus, how her creative pursuits began as a result of her deeply rooted fandom gene, what EmHen characters her characters would connect to, what she considers the work of the author, and what her dream film project would be. It’s a long episode and we cover soso much. I could’ve talked to her for two more hours. She’s such a lighthearted, kind, deeply thoughtful human with a gorgeous mind I am glad she shares a slice of in this episode.
