If you’re looking to join a book club this year then I have some great suggestions for you!

What I love about these book clubs is the variety in their book selections.

Their picks may inspire you to read a new genre, a new author, or a different topic than you’ve read before and that is just one of the best things about joining an online book club.

Many of these book clubs are utilizing social media to promote their book selections and to encourage community among their book club members and readers.

For most, it’s relatively easy to participate and “join the club.” Simply follow along with the book club’s social media channels, read along with them or at your own pace and join in the book discussions as you so choose.

What was glaringly obvious from this list when I first created it was a need for a romance-specific book club which is why I launched the She Reads Romance Books Book Club.

The She Reads Romance Books Book Club is a community of romance book lovers who get together to read one book each month. We gather virtually online to chat about it and also chat virtually with the author who wrote it!

Check out the Club and all the exclusive offerings for membership and join today!

You can also check out my list of best book club books for my recommendations for your own book club!

Of course, you can’t join a book club without having a Book Club Journal where you can review your book club selections and capture all the details you want to discuss at your next book club meeting. Be sure to grab your copy today!

Celebrity Book Clubs

I have to hand it to celebrities. They’ve used their popularity to bring some amazing books to the attention of readers and have launched many an author’s works onto the bestseller lists!

More and more celebrities are joining the bandwagon of creating book clubs, so check out the celebrity book clubs most popular to join below.

Oprah’s Book Club

Of course, we have to begin with the woman who started it all when it comes to celebrity book clubs and that’s Ms. Oprah Winfrey!

Books selected for the Oprah Book Club during the hay day of The Oprah Winfrey Show became instant bestsellers so it’s a big deal to have your book selected for her book club.

Her original book club, which ran for 15 years, ended in 2011 with the end of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Oprah however relaunched her book club, Oprah’s Book Club 2.0, in June 2012 as a joint project between OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network and O: The Oprah Magazine.

Unlike her previous book club, Oprah’s Book Club does not select a book every month. Instead, Oprah selects a book every couple of months throughout the year whenever a book interests her.

Reese’s Book Club

Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club started in 2017 and has taken off!

Each month Reese selects a book for Reese’s Book Club with a woman at the center of the story though books cross a variety of genres from women’s fiction and non-fiction to thrillers and romance.

Along with a book selection each month, Reese’s Book Club also offers The Gift Box of Reading Box Sets.

Whether you purchase a special themed box set or a “Create Your Own Box,” the box sets include a book, scarf, candle, cookies, Lavazza coffee, and other goodies.

In addition to Reese’s Book Club, she launched Reese’s Young Adult Book Club in 2020.

Mid-month Reese selects a young adult book featuring women at the center of the story, intended for older teens and adults.

Fallon Book Club

Jimmy Fallon started his own book club in the summer of 2018 – Tonight Show Summer Reads. For four summers, he had The Tonight Show viewers vote on which book to read together with one winner selected as the pick of the summer.

For the summer of 2022, he rebranded his book club, Fallon Book Club, in which he now personally picks the summer book selection.

Belletrist Book Club (Emma Roberts Book Club)

Belletrist is the brainchild of best friends Karah Preiss and Emma Roberts which began in March 2017.

I love how they established this online book club to celebrate great books and the people who read them.

Belletrist is partnering with BookClub to offer exclusive video content, live audio conversations, and behind-the-scenes access to Emma and Karah who talk with the author of the Belletrist monthly book.

In addition to selecting a book of the month, I love how Roberts and Preiss also highlight an independent bookstore to support every month.

Not only do they post about the bookstore, they also include interviews with the store owners and share a promo code that followers can use to shop at the Bookstore of the Month for that month.

Between Two Books (Florence Welch Book Club)

I love how this book club came to be. It all started in 2012 when an Irish teen tweeted Florence Welch with the idea to start her own book club.

While initial members were fans of Florence and the Machine, readers from around the world now make up this online book club, Between Two Books.
