We all have characters that we relate to, but it takes a special collegiette to be like Rory. You’ve got to be insanely smart, kind, humble and totally in love with books. While other girls may be Team Dean, Team Jess or Team Logan, you’ve always been Team Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge. Here are 16 signs you love books as much as Rory Gilmore does.

2. The bookstore is basically your Barbie Dreamhouse

3. And the library is your vacation home

5. You’ve probably spent thousands of hours in said libraries


6. And of course, millions of hours reading

10. And will lowkey smell any book you come in contact with

When she's not binge-watching One Tree Hill or Jane the Virgin on Netflix (again), she's is probably rereading the Harry Potter series or writing for her blog, SarahNdipity. With an addiction to books and coffee, Sarah hopes to take the world by storm as a book editor. Or social media marketer. Or blogger. (She hasn't quite made up her mind yet, but that's okay because who says you have to be just one thing?)
