Oy with the Poodles Already! It's a Gilmore Girls Book Tag

I've just finished watching Bunheads a few days ago. I binge-watched it. I didn't mean to but the show is so engaging that I ended up doing so. Bunheads is created by the one and only Amy Sherman-Palladino. She is also the one who created Gilmore Girls. See, I love Gilmore Girls. Though I watched it 15 years after it's first aired, that's okay. Better late than never, right? because the show is soooo good. I'm obsessed with it. I like the whole fast talking and pop culture references. Not to mention that Rory, one of the main characters, is an avid reader. I was so hungover with the show I tried to find out more about Amy Sherman-Palladino. That's how I discovered Bunheads. I need TV shows which is kind of similar with Gilmore Girls.

Anyway, I'm still obsessed with Gilmore Girls (and Bunheads, btw). Sometimes I even re-watched a few episodes now and then. I was so excited when I got the news that Netflix is going to revive Gilmore Girls. So, in honor of the revival I'm doing the Gilmore Girls Book Tag. This book tag is created by Pucksandpaperbacks. This tag is basically associating Gilmore Girls characters with books. Let's get started!

Masing-masing kasus itu harus merupakan simbol pameran kekuatan otot yang diperagakan pahlawan dalam legenda Yunani Kuno, yaitu Hercules yang perkasa. Tetapi ketika Hercule Poirot yang amat cerdas dan suka kerapian harus menghadapi monster-monster di zaman modern, satu-satunya senjatanya adalah kekuatan otaknya dan kemampuan deduksinya yang luar biasa.
