Season 9, Episode 188 Good Reads with the Gilmore Girls with guest Kristine Eckart
We always enjoy chatting with people we find on Instagram who are doing bookish things, and Kristine Eckart is one of those folks. She is the creator of Gilmore Book Club, which offers all kinds of book blogs, discussions, videos, and lists associated with the show Gilmore Girls. As if that wouldn’t keep her busy enough, she also hosts a book club for people with chronic health conditions (and we’re including the link to it in our show notes) and is working on creating book-related content for other beloved shows, such as Gossip Girl and The Office.
You can find Kristine on Insta and Youtube at @gilmorebookclub and at her website www.gilmorebookclub.com. Her Chronic Illness Bookclub can be found at www.thechroniconcommunity.com/share/_diU…rce=manual
