For Swifties everywhere, this guided journal with interactive prompts and questions, complete with stunning illustrations and a silky ribbon, explores all the literary easter eggs in Taylor's lyrics, revealing the best of her personal library - from The Bell Jar to The Great Gatsby.

Dive into the literary world of Taylor Swift like never before. Between the pages of this interactive journal, you will meet iconic characters of classic literature, soak up the magic of folklore and fairytales, delve into the imagery of tortured poets, and so much more.

Welcome to Taylor's cosy library and lose yourself in the pages of ancient and modern literary classics. The journal is organised into ten themes, from the unreliable narrator of The Great Gatsby, the feminism of The Bell Jar, coming-of-age struggles of To Kill a Mockingbird or the social commentary of The Crucible. Discover the influence of Wuthering Heights running through songs like Enchanted and ivy, or the inspiration of The Picture of Dorian Gray in mirrorball and Anti-Hero.

Deep dive into each topic with prompts, questions and invitations to create, doodle and dream, making this a private diary just for you.

Discover visual easter eggs with the Music Video Muse, which explains the visual storytelling behind Taylor's music videos. Write your own lyrics or start a book club! With all your bookish knowledge, you too can be a songwriter or continue your literary journey.

If you haven't read the books, no problem! SwiftNotes are provided for every literary work to give you a crash course. With a gorgeous ribbon and every page filled with beautiful illustrations, this will be a journal to treasure and return to time and again.
