Fall, The Grimm Brothers, and Gilmore Girls




When I first  feel that chill in the air. Fall, fills my mind and one of the first thoughts I have is Gilmore Girls!  Yes, still even after 7 years of it being off the air I still think about it.  I guess first it is because, well of course the new season always started in the fall, but the other reason is the show really encompasses the feelings of fall.  You know what I mean jack-o-laterns hot chocolate, jacket weather, pumpkin pie, and the launch of the holiday season. Gilmore Girls is fall to me.  I guess it is a little strange to still have a show come to mind 7 years later every time you take a breath of crisp air, but I guess you could say I might be a little obsessed.  (I wonder what the word would be for a Gilmore version of a Trekkie?)

                

Okay the Gilmore challenge, now that I am done obsessing.:)  I read Snow White and Rose Red by Grimm Brothers, okay I will admit it was very short but also very interesting.  I have always meant to read the Grimm Brothers being a fan of fairy tales but it is another one of those things you never seem to get to.  (I guess I could have watched less episodes of Gilmore Girls) (Nah!) I have always heard they are way different than the fairy tales we know from watching Disney, etc... and darker too. This one definitely was different and a little dark, I am never to sure what all to say on here because I don't want to give to many spoilers.  If you want my opinion on whether you should read this my answer is definitely yes!  It was really good, I will just say I didn't even know Snow White even had a sister.(there that is not much of a spoiler since it is on the cover)  There is another Grimm Brothers on the list so I will prob read that one next.
                                    

Just keep reading!
Just keep reading!
Just keep reading!


Here is the reference to Snow White and Rose Red:
Season 2 Episode 7


Rory: Paris, it's not the Cosa Nostra.

Rory: Sandra Day O'Connor was a Puff?

Francie: Well, no one has proof. It's just folklore.
Ivy: Like Snow-White and Rose-Red.
Francie: Or Mariah Carey's crackup.

Rory: I tell ya, she's a regular Gary Mule Deer.
