Today show host Jenna Bush Hager wants you to take some time for yourself this summer … ideally by lounging poolside with a book from her new publishing imprint Thousand Voices.
The Read With Jenna book club creator is teaming up with ResortPass, a service which allows people to book day passes to luxe hotel pools, spas and other amenities. As part of the partnership, ResortPass will be offering day-pass packages that include a copy of the first book from Thousand Voices and Random House Publishing Group: Conform by Ariel Sullivan, a dystopian romance that Jenna shared is like “Hunger Games meets Margaret Atwood.”
“Reading is self-care and it’s also community,” Jenna told Good Housekeeping in an exclusive interview. “What ResortPass is doing is allowing people who can’t go on a big vacation to still go hang by the pool, alone or with friends. And what I always want to do by the pool, of course, is read. So it was a perfect way for us to team up.”

Jenna also told us all about what’s still to come from Thousand Voices in the near future, including the impressive number of books they already plan to publish.
“We’re meeting emerging writers and bringing them to the hands of as many readers as possible,” she says. “As of right now, we’re publishing eight books between the fall of next year and the following fall. They’re all women authors, but they’re different ages, they’re from different places, and they’re all different genres. I think the common thing is that every book has this beautiful ounce of humanity. And in a time where we can’t always sit across from loved ones and talk about very many things, a book is a great place to start.”
She revealed that some of the authors they’re working with include a 61-year-old debut author, a Brazilian-American author, a Chinese-American author, and a woman who wrote a book about Block Island while working there as a housecleaner.
“It’s always been important to me that we’re pulling up chairs to the table and thinking about publishing voices that haven’t always historically been published,” she shares. “I just want readers to be as into these books as I am. I’m seriously obsessed with all of them!”
