Reading Taylor Swift's Favorite Books...

[@SammWwhite]

Haley, I think you’re discovering that literary fiction can often be more rewarding than other so called “easier” reads. I am so excited to hear your opinions of more books that are known for their beautiful writing.

[@faithmarshall309]

Yeah, it's thought-out and deep! Rom coms (and romances in general) can be fun, but also predictable with cliche circumstances and flat characters, or just plain inappropriate. Literary and religious fiction have messages that make you think, even if you don't have the same beliefs. 💜

Classic books that you might enjoy: Little Women, Anne of Green Gables and any Jany Austen book.

[@kel1477]

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite books

[@Fromtherivertotheseatheybefree]

Little women is one of my all time favorites 🥹😭

I love the first book​@@kel1477

[@mridularam]

Jane Austen is queen bro

[@mbranche4234]

A Tale of Two Cities will always be my favorite classic. I have never looked at knitted pieces and quilted pieces in the same way after finishing this book.

[@crisapril7900]

I'm about to finish 1984 by George Orwell and it's simple to read and understand. But mind-blowing, Orwell wrote his books with the idea of everyone being able to understand no matter what class people belonged in, in that time.

[@LorelaiMadeleine]

I just had a presentation about “1984” and I reallyyy liked it, such a cool book

[@Missmagazinebura]

Read it in high school

[@bookishhobbit9248]

Animal Farm by Orwell is also a really good accessible read

[@Missmagazinebura]

@@bookishhobbit9248 I read that in high school

[@bookishhobbit9248]

​@@Missmagazineburasame 😊

[@mavispollard5579]

anne of green gables and little women are two just incredible classics that have some of the best lines in them, definitely the kind of book you will want to underline and write in the margins for! loving your videos haley keep smashing it

[@AnnaElizabethBold]

Classics are so jam packed full of deep thoughts, and underlying plots. They are amazing, and it makes me really happy to see you reading them ♥️ Thank you Taylor Swift!

[@Nothereforit174]

Books from any time period have “deep thoughts” and subplot is normal. The beauty of the human mind 😊

[@ChloeWestern]

Jane Eyre is an absolute masterpiece. Could be one of my favourite books of all time. I'm trying to read more classics this year too. I'm going to have to put The Great Gatsby on my list aswell!!

[@sarahallen2887]

Jane Eyre is on my tbr this year! I enjoy a classic now and then and I've heard that book is really good

[@nataliemae08]

i'm reading jane eyre this month!!

It’s been so fun watching your reading taste change and evolve from the very beginning!

[@kylaraymone4019]

I absolutely love seeing how Haley Pham's taste in books grew so much!! And LOVE to see you appreciating classics and beautiful writing :)

[@julietareads]

highly recommend Persuasion by Jane Austen, probably the book with THE most beautiful declaration of love and one of my all time faves

[@sarahallen2887]

I read that one last year! "You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope." Love it so much 🥺

[@Emmy-rw8yl]

My fav Jane Austen book, pride and prejudice is a close second ❤

[@WordsCanBeLikeXRays]

Yes! Swoon.

[@lezcuellar]

part 2 pls? just finished jane eyre bc of ttpd announcement!! jane eyre is so interwoven into her lyrics (specifically in folklore), and reading it you can see how her lyrics and povs relate to certain characters vs others. but i would also just love to hear your take on the novel bc of the themes in the book. 🫶🏼

[@jackielowrey3032]

Imagine if Taylor wrote a fictional series

I probably read the whole series in a day 😅 lol

I just read the Great Gatsby in school so watching you read and enjoy was fun plus some taylor songs I'm going to listen to now

[@angelinalasalvia358]

I love Rebecca so much, i'm so happy you read it and enjoyed it. Here are other classics I recomend: Jane Eyre, The phantom of the opera and the secret garden.

[@martagb2655]

Taylor Swift and Haley the best combination! I love your videos ❤

[@tay_rizul]

And books

[@margot_polo]

Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy. It has my all time favorite book boyfriend in it. It’s gorgeous, exciting, full of brilliant insight into human behavior. I couldn’t put it down. Glad you’re getting into classics, Haley! I tend to read more classics than any other genre now bc they just deliver so much more. Happy reading!

[@dawnw9337]

Haley! Geriatric millennial here, I'm so excited that you read Rebecca! Daphne DuMaurier is my favorite classic writer and I know that by you reviewing her work it will lead to more people seeking her work out. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@randomgoalielife]

your editing is getting so much more cinematic lately and I love it

[@love_nela]

ok but the bangs look amazing on you omg!!!!

[@aloekrings-moniz4870]

This video was so amazing!! I love that you are discovering "classics", because they are really top-tier literature and for me personally so much more rewarding to read that the usual "viral" books.

[@hellomynameisr8062]

YES

[@hellomynameisr8062]

I completely agree the "viral" "booktok" "bestselling" books aren't doing it for me. I fell in love with classics, but read trope books or ya books that weren't doing it for me. So I am now reading more plot based and classic books. Rather than for the trope or smut. It's a personal preference.

[@taylor7239]

Stoppppp I love this video idea!! So excited to watch!!🫶🏻

[@RachelCatherine]

Wowwww that quote you read from Rebecca is so beautiful 🥺

[@claireschweitzer2632]

A Little Princess is my favorite classic!

[@Toeslurper584]

sounds very whimsical what's it abt?

[@Ellereadsalot]

My favorite classics are Little women, the secret garden, a little princess and Pride and prejudice. Especially the first three have very cozy, wholesome vibes. Im currently in the middle of 1984 and I think you might enjoy that. A lot of thought is put into that one as well and it is relatively easy to read.

[@kalliebella]

Taylor swift and Haley Pham are my favorite people ever!! This duo is chef's kiss!! You got me into reading, and I am obsessed!

[@PowerOfBooks1902]

HALEY PHAM + Taylor swift is perfection!

anyone going to school and/or with a job is probably more busy than taylor swift or any celebrity really so I'm sure she manages

[@dinodoeseditz]

@@crisilie1973 well you try living a day as a celebrity and try and find time to read. Even when you think she’s stopped she’s probably still thinking about things.

[@henloworld514]

tbf she has tons of staff managing her schedule for her

[@-CatFam-]

As someone who has evermore as their favorite album/era and who reads, Rebecca will definitely be a book I will read. The lyrics and meaning behind every song is so powerful and beautiful. Evermore is her saddest and most beautiful era. It’s so underrated. Tolerate it, it’s time to go, and Happiness are definitely the 3 saddest of the album in my opinion but the lyrics are so well put together! Love you Haley! 😘

[@Libriecappuccini]

Haley AND Taylor AND books? Never clicked on a video faster!

[@Cream-Bell-l7z]

Oooo i would definitely recommend Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen! I read it not too long ago and literally within the first couple chapters i knew it was going to become my favorite.

[@e.c.ritter]

I absolutely love reading classics. For my college liberal arts core, my classmates and I have been working through the classics starting with Homer, and we're about to reach Paradise Lost. My two suggestions for novels would be either Jane Eyre or Don Quixote (if you want to consider how we can read without going crazy), but if you want short stories both Flannery O'Connor and Anton Chekhov are amazing.

[@whatsdesreading]

if anyone can get me to read these classics, it’s you haley! i love this sm

[@LilyLyrics2012]

As someone who adores classics, I am so thrilled you're reading them Haley! You should read Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier. It's a much shorter mystery with romance sprinkled in. I think you'll love it!

[@malakeltiti8138]

We just finished reading the great gatsby at school and it was such an amazing book with amazing vibes and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Some classics I think you’ll love are The Lord Of the Flies, To kill a mockingbird (I do want to give a trigger warning on this one due to the language0, and the scarlet letter. I’m so glad we were able to read these classics in school and me and my other classmates fell in love with these books.
