Recs if you like Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business...

In honor of our queen Dolly Parton's tragic passing, I present to you, a list that includes books she has shared she loved, books that give me Dolly vibes, books she herself has written and books about her... basically just a big ol' Dolly appreciation list. Recommendations welcome!! In the meantime, pour one out for an icon, you'll catch me watching Steel Magnolias and sobbing. Rest in power, Dolly.

Books written by or about the late and great Dolly Parton. She was such a talented, gorgeous, caring person.

I beg you please start reading celebrity memoirs! They are: A. Super fun B. A great source of gossip C. Supporting the publication of lesser known authors (explained more in the comments)

Open to suggestions!

A mash-up of two of the most wonderful things in life books and music! 😌 A collection of non-fiction from biographies, genre histories, and social and pop histories. These are going to be unfortunately skewed toward my taste and those artists who I have knowledge of and/or admire. So recommend me artists you know!! (As long as they aren’t “problematic” ie, Michael Jackson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, etc.)

Growing list of memoirs I have read or want to read that have been discussed on Chelsea Devantez's podcast, Glamorous Trash.

Country/Bluegrass non-fiction!
