Featuring Taylor Swift

"Facts about the lives and careers of these popular celebrities are presented in colorful volumes that feature photographs of the subjects in action. Fans will appreciate the non-traditional format, rather than the strictly chronological narratives of most biographies. Serious information, such as Biles's trouble with the "twisties" at the Tokyo Olympics and Mendes's time off for mental health, are covered as well as fun facts, like the number of times Swift mentions the color red in her songs, Biles's favorite food, and Messi's $145,000 watch. Quizzes are interspersed so readers can determine how much they know about their idols, making these fun reads. VERDICT Aimed more at fans than report writers, these volumes will be attractive to browsers and selectors should consider these as complements to the conventional biographies already on the shelves."
