**spoiler chat for Seven Days In June starts around 33:45 and ends around 49:50, I also mention within the episode before we start! In this episode of Gilmore To Read, I am joined by the wonderful Tia Williams, the author of Reading Is Sexy's April pick Seven Days In June. Tia is a massive fan of Gilmore Girls, a pop culture junkie, and lets us know which scene from the show she thinks is one of the best scenes in television! She got inspiration for Seven Days In June from Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet, her fascination with old Hollywood and toxic mothers, and her own experience with chronic pain. I loved getting to know more about the woman behind the book and hope you do too!We'll be back later this month to talk Gilmore To Read's May picks.If you want to join our book clubs, find us on Fable!

Tara and Haley are thrilled to welcome Sheila R. Lawrence, the first Gilmore Girls writer to join the pod, in this week's episode! Having been in the writers room from Season 2's "Hammers and Veils" through the Season 4 finale, "Raincoats and Recipes", Sheila dishes on her Gilmore journey, joining Amy and Dan after Gilmore on both "Bunheads" and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel", and the current state of the industry in the midst of the WGA writer's strike. But most importantly, Tara and Haley ask the burning question that's been on everyone's mind since 2003: Was Jess Mariano always meant to break Rory's heart and go to California with or without the spin-off?
