Rory Gilmore Challenge + Giveaway

I’m back! After a year and a half of not blogging, I’m finally back at it. I decided to keep my blog on hold as I focused more on stuff in real life, but I thought now was great time to restart something I enjoyed doing. Of course, coming back to blogging didn’t end up being as easy as I anticipated. To start, my laptop decided to die on me two days before my initial restart day. Long story short, my motherboard unexpectedly died, and now I’m on the hunt for a new laptop. (If you’re wondering how I’m writing this now, it’s because I’m borrowing my boyfriend’s old laptop for the time being).

For my first post back, I thought I would talk about the challenge and giveaway I’m doing on my Instagram. A few months ago, I was talking to my friend Sam (@readwithsam), and I told her how I wanted to do the Rory Gilmore reading challenge. The reading challenge consists of reading all the books mentioned in Gilmore Girls; that’s a total of 339 books. For years I’ve been meaning to do this challenge, but I never made it a priority. So when talking to Sam, I suggested we make it into a mini challenge on our Instagrams, and include a little giveaway attached to it.

Our challenge consists of this:
– Read a book by a BIPOC
– Read a book that intimidates you
– Read a classic
– Read a children’s book
– Reread a book
– Post about your favourite book on the list
– Read a non-fiction book
– Read a book by an author you haven’t read before
– Post a story or picture with your favourite mug
– Read a book with a school setting

As for the giveaway, two lucky people will win a Penguin Clothbound Edition of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. To enter, you must be following @readwithsam and me (@readcaffeinated) on Instagram. You also must use the hashtag #2020rgchallenge to be entered. The giveaway period is June 1st to November 30th, 2020. The giveaway ends on November 30th, 2020 at 11:59 PM EST. This gives everyone enough time to read for the challenge and not feel rushed. We wanted to share our love of reading, and hopefully give two people a beautiful edition to display on their shelf.

I’m so happy to be blogging again! I’ll be posting once a week on Fridays, so keep a look out for more posts!

I’m also linking Copperboom Studios’ amazing printables for the challenge.
