Fall is here! And it’s time to see what all of our favorite book clubs have chosen for their recent picks. It’s an awesome way to find your next great book or just see what’s out there. We’ll look at three popular book clubs I like to follow. Let’s get started!
Reese’s Book Club
Reese is one of my all-time fave people and I’ve read quite a few good finds from Reese’s recs. The most recent pick is Society of Lies by Lauren Ling Brown. The book explores the idea of how far we may go to feel like we belong. Author Julia Bartz describes it as “a dark and haunting debut that explores secret societies, the bonds of sisterhood, and the intricacies of privilege at an elite college…I couldn’t put this twisty tale down.”
Oprah’s Book Club
Early last year I read the memoir of Priscilla Presley and while the writing was a little bleak her story was very eye-opening so when I saw Oprah’s recent pick is From Here to the Great Unknown by Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough I was pretty excited. My mom loved Elvis when I was growing up and I have many fond memories of listening to his music and watching his movies with her. Also, I ever since I watched Daisy and the Six I’m kind of obsessed with Riley Keough. On OprahDaly.com it is described as, “Alternating between the voices of Lisa Marie Presley and her daughter, Riley Keough, this memoir takes readers behind the famous musical gates of Graceland—and beyond, to a world of unfathomable wealth, impossible familial legacy, unthinkable loss, and unending love.” It’s told in alternating narrative between Lisa Marie Preslie and her daughter Riley Keough as looks to be very intriguing.
Kaia Gerber’s Book Club
Kaia’s last pick is Dear Dickhead by Virginie Despentes as translated by Frank Wynn and looks to be a very interesting read. Here is the synopsis from libraryscience.net. “Oscar is a B-list novelist in his forties. He used to be an alcoholic and a cokehead, but now he keeps himself busy by ranting on social media. When Rebecca, an actress whose looks he insulted, sends him an angry email, they strike up a combative correspondence–at the very moment that Oscar is accused of sexual harassment by his former publicist. What ensues is a no-holds-barred conversation about life under the patriarchy, and above all about addiction–to drugs, to alcohol, to the internet, to rage.”
There’s a little bit for everyone from these three: a thrilling mystery from Reese, a memoir from Oprah and some realist fiction from Kaia. Enjoy!
