December Nominations Are Open! ❄️

As we wrap up the year, it’s time for one last reading adventure—and we’re closing things out with a touch of enchantment.

Our December theme is Magical Moments & Winter Wonders

A little magic, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of heart. Think holiday cheer, whimsical tales, light fantasy, or stories set amid snowy nights and wintry skies. Whether it’s cozy magic, modern fairytales, or heartwarming classics, we want books that make the season feel just a bit brighter.

🕯️ Nominate one book you’d love to read together that fits this theme.
(As always, please check that your pick is on the Rory Gilmore list before adding it!)

❄️ A few ideas to get you inspired:
• A story that captures the magic of the holidays
• A cozy fantasy or fairy tale retelling
• A winter-set novel full of heart and wonder
• A feel-good contemporary with seasonal charm

Nominations will remain open until November 15th, after which we’ll vote to choose our final December Buddy Read of the year. 🎄📚

Let’s end the year on a note of warmth, wonder, and a little bit of magic. ✨

My Nomination: Holidays on Ice – David Sedaris

Stories are explicitly about the holidays, full of winter imagery, festive spirit, and humor.
Sedaris’ voice blends satire, warmth, and gentle absurdity — the “sparkle” factor is high.
