Hi Friends,
Get ready to get cozy and read like a Gilmore—well, at least like Rory Gilmore! This is my first reading update for the Gilmore Girls 2024 Readathon. In this post, I’ll be talking about the first two days of the readathon because I couldn’t commit to daily updates this time around. Before you continue, feel free to check out my Gilmore Girls Readathon TBR to remind yourself of the books I’ll be reading.
Day 1: October 7, 2024
Morning Update: I started my morning off with a cup of coffee, like the Gilmore Girl I am, and grabbed the book ‘Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice‘. I read up until chapter 6, but unfortunately, I wasn’t loving the book. The story wasn’t captivating me, and the writing and characters felt too young. I’ve been having this problem a lot lately when it comes to YA books.
Afternoon Update: I did some cleaning and even watched a horror movie, because, sadly, the book just wasn’t giving me the Gilmore Girl vibes it promised. I also worked on some posts for my blog. I tried picking the book back up again and only got halfway through chapter 6 before realizing it was going to be a DNF for me. I know that might seem a little early to DNF a book, but I can already tell it was not going to be for me.
Evening Wrap-Up: I decided to pick up my next book—or technically, my first book of the readathon—before bed and get some reading in. I chose ‘Business Casual’ by B.K. Borison since it fits multiple prompts, so even if I don’t get to as many books as I’d like during the readathon, this book will still help me clear the bingo board. I was only able to read the first chapter, but I did enjoy it.
Day 2: October 8, 2024
Morning Update: Unfortunately, I didn’t get the best night’s sleep and was up at 2:30 a.m. I didn’t fall back asleep until 5 a.m. I woke up at eight and did my normal morning routine—fed the dogs, washed my face, brushed my teeth, changed into workout attire, and ate breakfast. I didn’t get a chance to continue my book this morning because it was kind of chaotic.
Afternoon Update: I went out and grabbed an afternoon Starbucks with my mom and sister! My go-to drink is a hot non-fat half-caf white mocha with an extra pump and whip. Then I started deep cleaning certain areas while listening to more of ‘Business Casual‘. Let’s just say that this is one fast-paced book, and by the time I was done cleaning, I had made it to 50% of the book.
Evening Wrap-Up: I finished off the night by doing some blog work and watching the movie Scream. Honestly, the first three movies in that trilogy will always be the superior ones in the franchise. Time kind of got away from me, so I didn’t end up reading any more of my book.
Those were my first two days of the Gilmore Girls Readathon! I am having such a fun time with the readathon and hope others are enjoying it as well. If you want to read the Lovelight Farms series, I know that three out of the four books are available on Everand.

Hi Friends,
However, I am still very intrigued by the plot.
I have a lot to say about this book, but you’ll have to wait for my review.
Anyway, I’m somewhat happy with how my reading went on the first day of the readathon. I managed to finish a book, but unfortunately, it wasn’t for Summerween. I had started ‘
