Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls, and Everything in Between in Our Shared Shelf

If you're a Lorelai Gilmore or Sarah Braverman fan, you need to listen to the audiobook version of Lauren Graham's memoir. Although she told some great stories, I doubt I would've loved this book as much if I'd read it instead of listening to it.

I gave this a 5 star I think because I was so hungry for more info on Gilmore Girls. I have, of course, watched the Netflix reboot and it left me longing for more. If this book had not had all of that detail on the show, I don't know if I would have given it 5 stars.

Audiobook version: Quite a delight, with Lauren Graham narrating. Her voice is crystal clear, in spite of the speed, and has such a warm demeanor. Loved hearing the anecdotes from the beginning of her career - the bass story had me laughing so hard.
