Country singer Ashley Cooke is used to reading on the road. <\/p>\n

\u201cReading is one of my favorite activities to do when I travel, whether I\u2019m on my tour bus or flying. It\u2019s such a fun way to disconnect from reality,\u201d the singer \u2014 whose new song \u201cthe hell you are\u201d<\/a> came out Friday \u2014 tells Page Six.<\/p>\n

The singer adds that she loves picking up a wide variety of genres. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I typically like grabbing a new release at the airport, it\u2019s also fun to read some of the classics or something to help me find inspiration,\u201d she tells us. <\/p>\n

See below for Cooke\u2019s six must-read books.<\/p>\n

\""Verity"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m usually all about those slow-burn love stories, but \u2018Verity\u2019? This book is a whole different beast. It\u2019s dark, it\u2019s twisted, it\u2019s romantic in the most messed-up way and I could not put it down. 10\/10 recommend if you want your heart racing and your jaw on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\""The<\/p>\n

\u201cThis one hit me right in the soul. As someone who\u2019s been chasing a dream in country music, this story felt so real. Alex talks about how success isn\u2019t just about waiting in line or having the perfect plan, it\u2019s about finding that third door, the unexpected path no one tells you about. That hit home for me. If you\u2019re chasing anything \u2014 music, a business, whatever \u2014 read this book. It\u2019s like a pep talk mixed with a backstage pass to success.\u201d<\/p>\n

\""Tuesdays<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, this book is a classic for a reason and brings perspective that not many other books do. It\u2019s not just a book \u2026 it\u2019s a reminder. A reminder to slow down, to call your people, to ask the big questions and actually listen. Morrie\u2019s wisdom hits different when you\u2019re on the road chasing a dream. He talks about love, regret, purpose \u2014 and I swear every word made me think of my grandparents, my mentors and every little moment I\u2019ve ever taken for granted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\""It<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018It Ends With Us\u2019 broke my heart in a way that felt honest and necessary. Lily\u2019s story is powerful. It\u2019s about love, but not just the kind in fairytales. It\u2019s about choosing yourself, even when it hurts. It\u2019s messy, it\u2019s brave and it\u2019s real.\u201d<\/p>\n

\""Untamed"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis book lit a fire in me. It\u2019s bold, it\u2019s raw and it feels like a deep breath you didn\u2019t know you needed. \u2018Untamed\u2019 is about shaking off everything the world tells you to be \u2026 and finally listening to your own voice. I constantly need that reminder as I\u2019m surrounded by so many voices and opinions, constantly told how to sound, look, feel \u2014 this book reminded me that you can be soft and strong. Wild and wise. Loud and loving.\u201d<\/p>\n

\""A<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not expect to fall headfirst into a fantasy world, but y\u2019all, this book swept me away. Feyre is a warrior, a dreamer, a survivor \u2026 and honestly, I saw pieces of myself in her. Think \u2018Beauty and the Beast\u2019 meets \u2018Hunger Games,\u2019 but with way more steam and way deeper heart.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Page Six may be compensated and\/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12248,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[223,12013,88,216,520,12014,5033],"class_list":["post-12247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-books","tag-books","tag-country-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-shopping","tag-six-picks","tag-style"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
