Rory's Reading List

[Lisa]

So I believe it was Amber who mentioned Rory's Reading list in the resolutions topic and being a huge nerd I had to look it up. And then decided to post it on this thread. Here, http://www.listsofbests.com/list/1832... is the link to the book list (it also shows the episodes the books are mentioned in).
