    List of Rory's books and Gilmore Girls locations
    Casey F.

    This bookshop is in a cute shopping center in a small town (known for inspiring the Gilmore Girls tv show!) When I walked in the door, I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the book store, and how many books they actually had. They had a bunch of displays, as well as autographed books which was awesome to see. They also had a cute Gilmore Girls section with Gilmore Girls books, merchandise, magnets, etc. I purchased a non-Gilmore Girls themed book, a Gilmore Girls light up mini gazebo, and another non-Gilmore Girls themed book. The employee was talking with her Dad when I walked up to the counter (which was super sweet) and then she asked me if I scanned the QR code near the Gilmore Girls display. When I said no, she went and got me a list of Gilmore Girls locations in the town I could visit, as well as the list of all the books Rory has read in the show. Super cool!! She also recommended I check out Five Janes (the cute boutique shop across the way which I did!) This employee was awesome and so so helpful!!

    This is a great independent bookstore in Washington Depot. The building is curved, and somewhat iconic in the area. It used to be on a mural in New Milford Hospital. It's a great place to get local, new, and children's books. There's a fair amount of variety in book content, and also lots of cute gifts for the non-readers. Watch their Facebook page, because periodically authors come in for signings!

    Such an adorable bookshop. This was one of my first stops and they gave me a Gilmore Girls bucket list of places to go to which was so beyond appreciated. I ended up getting a pretty good book to read too and a cute Rory's Reads little sign to put up on my bookshelf with books that would be Rory Gilmore approved.

    Spent a week in New Milford for a 'Gilmore Girls' trip and this bookshop was on the to do list since it reminded me of a bookshop from the show. Cute shop. Excellent customer service.

    Happened upon this little book shop when I was driving through Washington Depot and saw the farmers market across the street. There's a fun little shop that is deceiving from the outside. They have a lot of books and a great selection. Also have some paper gift items and journals as well as a few toys in the kids section. While I was in there overheard a group talking that this was the bookstore that was the inspiration for the one in Gilmore girls. Definitely worth of stuff if you're driving through town or visiting

    Independent Bookstore Day in April.  The store asked customers to write what they live about the bookstore on their windows.

    The staff was so kind and helpful. The book store is very organised and well run. Support small businesses and shop here instead of Amazon!

    Rather snooty sales people. Overpriced and not terribly wide selection.
