📖 VERITY by Colleen Hoover

What if you discovered a writer’s darkest secrets… and realized they were never meant to be found?

When struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh is hired to complete a bestselling author’s series, she steps into the Crawford family home, and finds an unfinished autobiography that reveals shocking secrets about Verity’s past.

🖤 Twisted. Unsettling. Impossible to put down.

Have you read Verity? Would you keep reading if you found something you were never supposed to see?

Thirty-one years. One book at a time.

Since 1995, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has put a free book in a child’s mailbox every month.

This wasn’t the work of one small gesture, but the same small kindness repeated until it turned into something huge!

Dolly’s Imagination Library has delivered over 300 million books to children in five countries.

At Knowledge Exchange we think the best tribute is to keep that number climbing.

Enroll a child or donate at imaginationlibrary.com

Thank you, Dolly

Your favorite songs just found their literary match.

We’re pairing some of our favorite pop girls with books that capture the same feelings, stories, and energy from songs about falling in love and finding yourself to heartbreak, longing, and everything in between. Because sometimes the song you can’t stop playing and the book you can’t put down tell the same story in completely different ways. 💌

Swipe through to discover our pairings and find the book that belongs on your shelf and maybe a new song to keep on repeat. 💿✨

Which song + book pairing would you choose? 👀📖



✨OLIVIA DEAN × BOOKS 📚

Warm, romantic, soulful, and a little nostalgic if Olivia Dean is always on your playlist, these books might belong on your reading list.

Same feeling, different kind of storytelling. 💌



💜 OLIVIA RODRIGO × BOOKS 📖

Heartbreak, growing pains, messy feelings, and everything you wish you’d said out loud. We matched Olivia Rodrigo songs with books that bring the same emotional energy.

Because sometimes a book hurts just as much as the song. 🎧💔



SIENNA SPIRO × BOOKS 🎙️📚

For the hopeless romantics, overthinkers, and anyone who feels everything a little too deeply. We paired Sienna Spiro’s songs with books that carry the same longing, vulnerability, and what-could-have-been feeling.

Listen to the song. Read the story. Feel everything. ✨

Every great journey begins with a single step and The Odyssey has inspired readers to take it for centuries. 🌊📖

From mythical creatures and impossible choices to the search for home, Odysseus’ adventure reminds us that the journey can shape us just as much as the destination.

Whether you’re discovering this classic for the first time or revisiting it, let The Odyssey transport you to one of literature’s greatest adventures.

✨ Have you read The Odyssey, or is it still on your TBR?
