So let the Gilmore Book Club Reading Tracker do a lot of the painstaking work for you.

Full List of Gilmore Book Club Tracker Features:

📖 NEW FEATURE!!Books Listed by Character, Season, and Episode

It’s an easy way to make a reading list for only Rory or Lorelai! Plus, notes of books mentioned in each season and the episode.

📖 Automatically Count the Books You’ve Read

Spend more time reading and less time counting. All you need to do is put a 1 in the read column, and the embedded formula will automatically count how many books you’ve finished. This lists all the books mentioned or shown on Gilmore Girls by one of the characters (Rory, Lorelai, Richard, and Emily Gilmore, Paris, Sookie, Lane, Jess, and Dean) The easiest way to do the Rory Book Club experience.

Give each book a rating based on how you liked it. It’s a Gilmore system: 5 coffee cups mean you loved it, and one coffee cup means it wasn’t for you. Just copy and paste the coffee cup emoji. If you want to find all your top reads, just use the filter to search for five coffee cups!

FAQ

Can I give this tracker as a gift to someone else?

Of course! If this is a gift, please put the recipient's name and email in the checkout form. You’ll be sent two PDF options to print and physically give if you’d like. The tracker will be sent via email to the recipient on the date you specify at checkout.

Why a spreadsheet instead of a PDF?

Other trackers have a list of all the books and let you check them off, but they make you do the work of counting, researching, and organizing, and they don’t have room to take notes or rank the books or give you suggestions on what to read next. All these easy-to-use features are exclusive to the Gilmore Book Club Tracker.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes! If you want your phone and computer to update and share data automatically, just copy this info into a Google doc so you can access on both phone and computer.
