With book clubs becoming more popular again, a number of celebrities are running their own digital book clubs to motivate their fans to read and discuss literature without the pressure or inaccessibility of a physical meeting spot.
These clubs often include one-on-one interviews between the celeb and a chosen author, as well as an appreciation for literature across different cultures, and they give fans an insight into their favourite celebrity’s taste in literature.
If you’re interested in the sound of these A-Lister book clubs, we’ve picked out a few that are definitely worth checking out.

Reese’s Book Club is all about celebrating and promoting female-centred stories and scripts.
The idea was born out of Reese Witherspoon’s disappointment in the lack of intriguing scripts written for or about women. Her book club nurtures female literature, hosting interviews with authors, allowing book enthusiasts to share their own reviews of current reads, and even offering a mentoring programme for emerging authors.
Reese’s Book Club functions as part of Witherspoon’s production company, Hello Sunshine, which has brought so many empowering books to the screen, including Where The Crawdads Sing, Daisy Jones and the Six and Big Little Lies.
