Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls, and Everything in Between by Lauren Graham

Santa brought me this for Christmas thanks to my wonderful son. I sat down to read this on Christmas Day and read it in one sitting, I just couldn't put it down!!!

I felt like I was sitting in the Gilmore Girls kitchen eating Pop Tarts and Tater Tots and drinking coffee with Lorelai while she told me stories about her life.

It was interesting and fun to read Lauren's thoughts on Gilmore Girls, how the revival came to be, what it was like to revisit what she calls one of if not her favorite characters to play.

I read her first book, the novel Someday, Someday, Maybe and her writing has improved and she credits a wonderful editor for bringing out the best writer in her she can be. What ever it is, it has paid off because while I enjoyed the novel I was enchanted with this book. I think it was a combination of the better writing, it being a memoir of sorts, and the charm and fun in which Lauren tells her story.

Either way this was a winner with me. And it broke the funk I was in in my reading, I had hit a rut and was just unable to focus and read and it was making me so sad.
