Dolly Parton's Bookshelf Tour: See the Music Legend's Favorite Reads | Shelf Portrait | Marie Claire

[@marieclaire]

Excuse us while we pick up a copy of "Songteller" for everyone on our Christmas list. Have you read any of Dolly's reocmmendations?

[@thelaurels13]

Dolly is a treasure. She’s such a wonderful lady and her world book initiative has helped so many kids all over the world. What a remarkable lady and a wonderful talent.

[@Jennifer.Nguyen7]

The way she said, “... well I’m the little engine that DID” 🤧🤧

[@anitababcock8238]

Her imagination library program is incredible! Free books for kids from birth until age five! My son is enrolled in it and they provide beautiful books and a good variety, one book a month. We are so so thankful to her and what she does for everyone. She deserves so much more recognition

[@steppy3736]

Say what you like about her music, her acting, or her looks, but Dolly has done more for children's education and literacy than *any* politician. And most importantly, she's done it quietly, so you know it's from her heart!

[@mrsheatherteske]

Absolutely, another video stated that the kids who are born in her old town get a book a month for the first few years of their life? Amazing!!

[@coleycole77]

If someone says anything bad about Ms. Dolly we are going to engage in fisticuffs!

[@Summermute7]

Heather T , not just her hometown. The Imagination Library is worldwide now! Free books for children each month from birth through the age of five. Pretty impressive! 👍🏻🎊🎉

[@Mr05Chuck]

I say this about her music ,acting and looks…….fantastic.

"Steinbeck?"

[@Summermute7]

HBradley , she's 75. Perhaps she had a senior second. Sheesh.

[@USDAselect]

She is an angel.

[@kairikaarlaid]

Dolly's positivity is always so inspiring! Thank you, Dolly!

[@_sofie]

So much talent and so much heart. She is one of a kind. America should be proud of her.

[@elizabetakatalinic9369]

I bought her book " Songteller" and I can tell you all that she is great. I didn't drop it from my hands until I read it whole. It may have taken me a little longer because I don't speak and read English like you do in America, besides I read and speak German and Croatian. Sometimes it's not easy because I mix some words in all three languages, but I managed. And God created an Angel named Dolly Parton to spread love and light in this world full of gray. Love you Dolly , your Eli. from Switzerland ( and Croatia ).🥰🥰💝💝🥰🇭🇷❤🇨🇭

[@AnnabelleC0306]

I mean, who doesn't love Dolly?
She's so sweet.

[@TheRachelCarson]

PLEASE have Harry Styles do this!!! Idk if he actually would....but it wouldn’t hurt to try 😂

[@KBurns7]

There’s a guy here on TH-cam named Jack Edwards who does bookish videos and he has a couple on Harry Styles’ preferred books. If you get a chance, check him out! And I totally agree, this would be fun with Harry Styles!

[@sheryl8034]

You just find yourself smiling when Dolly talks❤

[@saleemwestindian]

If Dolly wants to adopt me...then I'm fine with that 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@momblade74]

I love Dolly, but never knew I had something in common with her. The little engine that could was my favorite book as a kid. I made my grandma read it to me over and over.

[@charliest.kardasism9134]

How can you not , love this woman ?!

[@saloonqirls]

I don’t know

[@palmerdirector9169]

Love Dolly! The Holy Bible, The Grapes of Wrath, and The Little Engine That Could.... Explains where she gets her strength and how she never quit.

[@renansouza2195]

It's the accent, the humbleness and the talent for me 🖤🖤🖤

[@halliehurst4847]

The copy of Kindred face out is beautiful! Such an amazing book as well

[@0deszuh111]

“Yes Im not the only creative person in the family” 😭

[@shellyseward6321]

I love the Shelf Portrait videos!! Dolly Parton is such a treasure. I read East Of Eden by John Steinbeck and have been meaning to get The Grapes Of Wrath.

[@heatherrussell7190]

Dolly, you are such a treasure to humanity. The Good Lord knew exactly what He was doing when He formulated your little recipe.

[@fleur1922]

I absolutely love that she loves the bible 🥺

[@beagoodhuman44]

Dolly is a national treasure💛

[@pbostler]

My Dad left the earth November 2019. He left probably hundreds of books. A few months ago, he started placing people's names in certain books . He wanted to make sure his special books went to special friends. I too have a lot of books. 🌞

[@3dogmom]

I lost my dad November 2019 as well.. he wasn’t always a reader himself but he always encouraged it in my sister and me. He did read quite a bit while he was sick and I have some of those books with me now.

[@pbostler]

@@3dogmom Awe I am sorry . My Dad was 84 and left Nov 17, day before my 54th birthday. I pictured him singing to me from heaven😁.

[@joyce3790]

I love this woman!

[@maryannemoll]

I super love her! I think she is the sweetest person ever, and her songs are iconic.

[@HarekaTysiri]

Dolly is always so wholesome! I love her!

[@lisawilson9191]

Instantly buys every book mentioned

[@KateTheSleepyTeacher]

I adore Dolly more and more each day. I was able to see her at the Hollywood Bowl a few years back- it was magical.

[@aishaa9384]

I LOVE Dolly. Period. ❤️

[@rainespells1273]

5:50 forever obsessed with the way she pronounces Italian

[@amandarosa2492]

Ok, but her accent is everything! ✨💛

[@bay9724]

What a great series and creative name! Just discovered on my recommended page - can’t wait to watch the entire playlist.

[@mukeshvaniya5667]

I love these shelf portrait segments💖

[@suhotratripathi5091]

She is so lovable ❣️

[@obridget01]

Oh! Kindred! Such a good book!

[@moonstonepearl21]

I didn't know this series was a thing, but I'm glad it is :)

[@SunshineLeclair]

Thanks a bunch .... I totally forgot about 'the little engin that could'. I just paused the video and went to order two copies, one for each of my two toddler age grandchildren ;) Sunshine

[@elangovanramalingam9084]

Dolly this is from south indian state of chennai.indian sub continent .9 to 5 do you remember.those days i do not know English and i watched that movie several times just for you and your song.now technology made possible to speak to you.omg.

[@amnabbasi]

Omg obsessed, can’t wait to binge this series

[@emmarand1905]

My grandmother loves your music

[@ladynoluck]

Was that Kindred I saw? 👀👀👀 Excellent choice!

[@DontUseMyWifi]

Wonderful soul.

[@teriw56]

Dolly is anointed.

[@yz4043]

Love this! Thanks Dolly 😁

[@oldprofile7126]

Kindred yesssssss!!!

[@jamesaritchie1]

Every time I see Dolly I think of George Jones singing, "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes". Well, no one will even fill Dolly's shoes. As my grandma used to say about good, special people, "When God made Dolly, He broke the mold."

[@Y.u.21]

What a queen

[@HailieHensley]

i’m so happy i found this video 🥺 love this series!

[@jmcmurrah]

I love Dolly!

[@ellaritter]

goodness, dolly is such a sweet woman! what a great video

[@wirehyperspace]

hi dolly - happy holidays

[@BookJedi84]

Ok, why doesn't she have saint status yet? She seems so pure and sweet... And relatable. No mater what you are race, or religion, she just makes it feel like she is that auntie that would make you some tea and listen to your problems. Or just chill with a good book...

[@ladyofcrows]

I love this video so much. :)

[@everyone]

why am i just finding this series now?!

[@emb627]

god i love her

[@josephinemaguire8513]

Kinda need more of these videos please

[@daniellev7258]

love Dolly we seriously don't deserve her

[@evergrowingtbr]

I need an audiobook voiced by Dolly

[@jennyharmony1371]

I wish she had picked up Kindred by Octavia Butler instead of Grapes of Wrath.

[@_sofie]

Me too haha it’s a great book but hey it’s still a privilege to get a peek into Dolly’s book taste

[@jamesaritchie1]

The two don't compare. Dolly is a national treasure, but so is Grapes of Wrath.

[@geovanes79]

Duas coisas me deixou boquiaberto, aquela vela acesa dentro da estante e Steinbeck ... No mais, tem um gosto duvidoso pra livros.

[@KevinDanielMusic]

Thanks for uploading! If you have a second, I tried my hand at a cover of Jason Isbell. As a fellow music lover, I'd love if you would check it out. It's on my channel. Hope you like it!

[@TortugaLuv]

Its pronounced "marree"!

[@irenedoha9383]

Why is she talking like she's got something in her mouth? Btw such an icon and incredible artist. I was wondering where i could find her books?
