Happy new Taylor Swift album release day to all who celebrate! The Tortured Poets Department has officially dropped, and Swifties are rejoicing. After much speculation about the album’s mysterious library-themed pop-up in Los Angeles, and with Swift’s reputation as a master lyricist, this record is set to be her most literary release yet.
While this makes for a perfect tie-in to any Taylor Swift book, listeners looking to have a summer inspired by poetry, dark academia, and romantic agony will find plenty to resonate with on our tortured poets title list! Featuring our bestselling poetry books, novels with feminine “coquette” covers from women writers, swoony romances, and dark academia classics, consider this list your brooding literary summer starter pack.
