WWDPR? (What Would Dolly Parton Read?)
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.

Love this idea, she was such an important advocate for literacy. Rest in Peace, Dolly.
thank you! she was such a force for good in the world all while being fabulous AF 🥲
her program giving kids books for free is so amazing, i think i’ll make a donation in her honor
I love that!!!
Wait! What?! Dolly passed and this is how I find out. Omg that is devastating
I’m so sorry 😭 I have a bad track record of doing this to people
Listening to My Tennessee Mountain Home and crying thinking about what an inspirational icon she is. Her legacy will live on through every free book she made possible.
Also, there's the book I was just able to put on hold at my local library Ain't Nobody's Fool: the life and times of Dolly Parton by Martha Ackmann that just came out last year
Ahhh ty kitty!! Adding!!
THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT 😭😭😭 no but seriously, this is an incredible list
