Gilmore To Read: Ashley Jordan’s Debut R...

Tara Llewellyn & Haley McIntosh
About this episode

Gilmore Girls lovers-- on Wednesdays, we talk books!!!

USA Bestselling author of Reese's Book Club pick for August, Ashley Jordan is here to chat about being a double alum of the Reese's Book Club world as a Reese's LitUp Fellow and an official bookclub selection for her debut novel! In the episode, we chat about what fandom prompted her to start writing fanfiction, what it was like being mentored by Jasmine Guillory, what comfort media is for her, and all about Once Upon A Time In Dollywood, her debut novel about a Black playwright who escapes to the Tennessee mountains for some solitude... only to find her next door neighbor is rather friendly. A spectacular debut and perfect read for Gilmore girls fans.

In October, Gilmore To Read is reading Love Is A War Song by Danica Nava.
