I wouldn’t be a songwriter if it wasn’t for the books I read as a kid. … When you can escape into a book it trains your imagination to think big and to think that more can exist than what you see.

Taylor Swift doesn’t just sing about books (You know the words: “Here I am an open book … Baby you hold the key to the diary of me …”). She donates books, too. Electric Literature writes that the singer and songwriter has donated 25,000 books to twenty-five New York City schools as part of Scholastic’s “Open a World of Possible” initiative. Sweet!
