The Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge: Upping the Ante

You all know the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge. Well, let's up the ante. For each book on the RGRC I have added an additional book that I challenge you to read, because, let's face it, Rory would have just kept on reading after we stopped watching her life unfold, so the list should really be way longer.
Winner gets the glory and the satisfaction that everyone who sees your name in first place will likely exclaim, "Oi with the poodles already!"
