Books to read while listening to 'Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)': 'Six Crimson Cranes' and more

Do you feel it? The shift in the air? A fairytale unfolding? Your ex’s name in the wind? The need to crash a wedding? Obviously, it’s because "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)" is almost here.

In Taylor Swift’s original liner notes for "Speak Now" in 2010, she said, “I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life, and looking back regretting the moments we didn't speak up.” She goes onto insist that the songs on "Speak Now" are a collection of moments when she didn’t say what she wanted to when the moment was in front of her.

So here they are! Messy, honest, loud books that never fail to speak up. These are the books we recommend adding to your TBR pile to read while you stream "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)" for months after its release.
