Have you tried this book club? Did the recommendations work for you? What were the best books you’ve read?
Comment from : BookswithEmilyFox

Have you heard of the Reading Women podcast? They have reading challenges so it’s a prompt rather than a specific book pick
Comment from : PriscillaReads

I might read one or two of the books from Reese's book club, but the books she picks aren't my kind of reads either
Comment from : Jackies Literary Corner

I think I have the opposite taste in books from Reese, and whomever reads the books you listed I'm not interested in any of them brI've tried Kristin Hannah before, and the book I tried made me actively angry I don't remember the name It wasn't the book you showed, though brI couldn't get into Wrong Place Wrong Time 😢 SadnessbrAlso was not impressed with The Guest List A lotbrSo, I i guess I've discovered that Reese's book club is not for me That's useful!
Comment from : Kathleen Brashier

I haven’t added them up but I would say 60-40 with the ones I like being at 40 Maybe even 65-35 I didn’t like Lucy Foley at all But I loved Eleanor Oliphant Based on your recommendation I might read Wrong Place Wrong Time I definitely like Reese’s picks better than Oprah’s
Comment from : Glenda W

I have read Lucky from this book club, but I didn't like it
Comment from : Milly Valvasori

My youngest kid randomly picked a book for me and it was Cassandra in Reverse which was the June pick I think It’s a time travel book and it wasn’t that bad I also read The Firekeeper’s Daughter which I heard was good
Comment from : Ashley Schuster

I have read The Sanatorium and unfortunately I hated it I picked it up for the vibes as well, but the main character is just so dumb She is actually a detective or police but she is always making the absolute dumbest and most dangerous choice every time and going off without telling anyone where she’s going It drove me absolutely up the wall and it was so unrealistic that she survived this book after running into danger all by herself so many times

Lipstick?? 💄
Comment from : Josely Martinez

I didn't finish the guest list either Could not get into it
Comment from : n&a-productions

The Paris Apartment was not one that I liked, the writing style was not my cup of tea I read Where the Crawdads Sing and it was ok, I did not care for the pacing the story I loved Little Fires Everywhere The Lying Game by Ruth Ware was good, I loved that one
Comment from : Edna Lee

I’d recommend Oprah’s book club, that was the original celebrity one!
Comment from : Kate Regier

I think you’ll like Seven Days in June 😊
Comment from : jas chahal

I think the only one I’ve read is Little Fires Everywhere, which I found super boring It was a shame because Ng is a good writer and I liked Everything I Never Told You Oh well
Comment from : Heather

I started with “the guest list” and was done 100 pages in and never looked at another recommendation from her since 😂
Comment from : Csiyaoe

I’ve just read like 3 and liked 2 and hate 1 haha so there’s that
Comment from : Lorena Rivera

Reese's book club was a big disappointment Reese and I have parted ways
Comment from : S Bayles

Reese's bookclub is one of the book clubs I follow as well as Lily (Singh)'s bookclub (Lily's Library)
Comment from : Pooja Uppal

I am glad I'm not the only one who couldn't finish Where the Crawdads singbrI personally like to follow the international booker prize I recommend checking out When we cease to understand the world
Comment from : NeleDoro

omfg The Guest List!! I’ve been trying to read that like 4 times lol I thought it was just me Tbh I don’t DNF very easily Even if I don’t love the writing, I try to finish every book because it’s a waste of money otherwise lol but I CANNOT bring myself to finish this damn book There’s just something so boring and convoluted about every single character Literally not a single character POV I enjoyed I just want to see what the ending is at this point
Comment from : L o r a e

I'm currently reading This is how it always is with the bookclub I have with friends, and so far I'm very positively surprised I had low expectations because I wasn't sure if the execution of the premise would be my cup of tea, but I'm enjoying it a lot It's also been a pick in Reese's Bookclub
Comment from : Alicia H

Yup i bought Tom Lake for the cover Haven't read it yet 😂
Comment from : Jess Thomas

I really enjoyed Tom Lake performed by Meryl Streep There are a lot of slow parts but it’s an interesting enough plot that I sailed through it I had this on my TBR before it was picked by Reese Her choices are usually a miss for me
Comment from : Cindy Freese

The Paper Palace!!!! Big Little Lies Where the Crawdads sing Outstanding Certainly you have missed some of the better ones
Comment from : Jennifer Morrison

Books by Jenna on Good Morning America! She has some actually really good and diverse picks!
Comment from : BasicallytheBlackHermione

I've heard really good things about the Ursula K LeGuin Awards
Comment from : Hannah Haasen

Thank you so much for this Very helpful!! 😇
Comment from : fashion chalet

Personally I really like the Ignyte awards! They focus on diverse science fiction and fantasy, and I’ve liked pretty much all of their picks!
Comment from : Danielle

What was it about where the crawdads sing that made you unable to continue it? I have been putting off reading it for so long because I’m just worried I’m not gonna like it lol
Comment from : Emily

I’m currently listening to Fire Keeper’s Daughter on Audiobook So far it is good brI really liked Seven Days in June, and Daisy Jones & The Six on audiobook brI Loved Where The Crawdads Sing (I am not aware of any controversy lol) brI have Wrong Place, Wrong Time on my tbr shelf - I’ve been meaning to pick it up since you recommended it in an earlier video
Comment from : Barbi Bouvier

Have you tried In The Shadow Garden by Liz Parker? It has Practical Magic/cozy magic vibes, but with whiskey at the center I enjoyed itbrbrThe Lying Game is my least favorite Ruth Ware don't recommend But FYI one defining thing is the very oldest RBC picks were made by a different person than the one doing picks/scouting the books in the last 3-4 years So if you liked the more recent picks, skip the very oldest ones (I know the person who picks the books now lol) The club definitely tends toward upmarket literary/women's fiction and thrillers, so you have to vibe w/ those books (I only read the thrillers, personally!)
Comment from : Alexa Donne

I haven’t read a lot of these 🥲
Comment from : Jay G

If you want some list of reading challenges I can make some if you want
Comment from : moon book

The Last Thing He Told Me is possibly the worst book I've ever read! The characters are flat, the plot is aggressively boring, and the ending is absolutely atrocious! The whole book is unrealistic, even for fiction!brOn the other hand, Wrong Place Wrong Time has become one of my favourite books! It's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea, but for me, it's everything I wanted! I was skeptical at first, but thank god, I did pick it up!
Comment from : Rosti

Thriller recommendation!!!! None of this is true by Lisa Jewel have you read it? Soooo good couldn’t put it down very suspenseful
Comment from : hope curran

I'd love a video Edgar Award winners!
Comment from : lipstick andbourbon

I agree about the "Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" it was amazing! A lot of Reese's book club I haven't read But thank you for the recommendations!brRuth Ware has become one of my favorite authors
Comment from : Lisa Jennifer

I'd love a non fiction/memoir book club Does anyone know about a good one? Thanks!
Comment from : Sara M

I'm not big on celebrity book clubs, especially since, publishers just pay a large amount of money to the celebrity to put their book on their lists Celebrities don't have time to watch reviews and read 100s of books to pick the ones they like I know that Reese has purchased rights for initial book to movie access So Idk
Comment from : Sadie

Could you please make this type of video, but for the Oprah’s Book Club picks? brI’m currently reading “We Were The Mulvaneys”, which was a pick in 2001 and so far I’m reallyyyy into it The writing is wonderful and the story is heartbreaking I also loved “The Poisonwood Bible” Both older books, but so far both a win😅
Comment from : Lourdes

I put down The Rules of Magic the whole "relationship with the 15 year old boy and older woman" didn't sit right with me
Comment from : Maddie A

I loved Daisy Jones and the Six, Yellowface and Wrong Place Wrong Time
Comment from : lex snow

7 days in June was so lovely 🌹
Comment from : Lindsay Renee

📚❤️
Comment from : Birgit Häupl

I find so many of the books to be ok, not great 😅
Comment from : Ragnhild A

I'd like you to try the CWA Daggers and the Ursula K Le Guin prize brThe Crime Writers Association has been going for years It's best known awards are the Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement and the Gold Dagger for book of the year They also have daggers for debut and translated books brThe UKGs are a newer award established by her son that aim to highlight the work of less well known authors
Comment from : Paul Curtis

I've read a few from Reeses and I like them all except the sanitorium 7 days in june was great but my biggest suprise and love was one of her first picks "This is How it Always is" I really like it Also I loved Where the Crawdads Sing and I used it as a reread for another challange and tried the audiobook for that amd the narrators just did not work I thought it was really bad
Comment from : Rebecca Cawley

Hit or miss on her book club I agreed on all the books you have read and liked and disliked Only one i disagreed with was (where the crowdads sing) I did enjoy that one I still value your opinions on book recommendations Love your videos 😊
Comment from : Eva Diaz

Reese and I do not like the same books I’ve read some of her picks and have not enjoyed them
Comment from : Joani Kirby

I only read one of the BotM winners/finalists because we get one of them as a free pick haha 😅 Even if you don’t do the Goodreads challenge will you still do a reaction video of your favorite/most-read genres?
Comment from : Jenna War

I haven't trusted the Reese Witherspoon book club since I read The Light We Lost in 2018 I have a short list of books that I actively hate and that is one of them I can look back over her list and see books that I have liked, but I've never chosen them because they were on her list
Comment from : Imaginetheday1967

This is a great idea Good content
Comment from : AmandaZTA

I’ve only read two picks I’ve read Wrong Place, Wrong Time, which was decent And the first one I read was This Is How It Always Is, which is an all-time favorite
Comment from : Jeremy Weitendorf

Would love to see your top 10 Murder mysteries or thrillers! I’m not really the type of reader that Reese’s or Oprah’s book clubs are geared toward I’m more fantasy and/or quirky
Comment from : Angela Archer

Great idea, Emily Reese is one of my fav actors I'll never forget her performance in Wild and how much justice she did to Cheryl Strayed -- even if the screenwriter did get a lil carried away with the intensity of Strayed's drug use
Comment from : strangementalitypaper

The Paper Palace gave me the ICK
Comment from : Shayla Atiles

I haven’t read the newest picks, but they’ve been hit or miss I liked Lucy Foley’s two picks, loved Crawdads, hated/DNF’d Eleanor Oliphant, Daisy Jones and The Last Thing He Told Me were both meh
Comment from : Carly

Maybe look at the Aurora Awards? (For Canadian sci-fi and fantasy)
Comment from : Beach

You should do the women’s prize for fiction!!!!
Comment from : Scarlett🍂

EMILY what red do you have on your lips it's so pretty!!!
Comment from : Yolanda Torres

The Shameless Book Club is a great Australian book club that’s very popular down here! They do an amazing and hilarious podcast on the books they read each month ❤
Comment from : natashathebooklover

The Book that Wouldn’t Burn by Mark Lawrence - crossover sci fi / fantasy ! Hear great things about it and getting to it soon - maybe you would like it Emily?
Comment from : C Dal

I'm currently reading Where the Crawdads Sing I'm wondering if you put it down for the same issues that I had with it The mother that abandons her daughter to a super abusive father, yet there's still these memories of her spouting super empowering bullshit like "that's what girlfriends and sisters are for" or something It was so disingenuous It enraged me But I stuck with it because all of the writing that didn't actually involve people was really something I can tell you that the failures in the integrity of the people Kya is supposed to rely on work themselves out, in a way I mean, it's addressed more fully in a way that rings true That one quote though It still bothers me
Comment from : cleverestdevil

I find Oprah or Jenna’s book club matches my interests better Reese seems to choose with an eye toward filming
Comment from : Maura Herlihy

I didn't knew this club existed until you talked about it Since i don't read contemporary or mystery/thrillers i don't think this club would be for me I'm a fantasy, science fiction, non fiction type of gal
Comment from : Ines Ramires

I loved Yellowface, it felt like watching a train wreck
Comment from : chays book recs

I enjoyed the guest list 🙊, eventhough our tastes are normally very similar… Ahaha
Comment from : Linde Wieringa

I feel SO vindicated hearing you hated Lucy Foley's "The Guest List" because I HATED that book so much that I decided to never pick up another book the author wrote (especially because I read their debut and it was just way too similar and also the ending was so, so fucking dumb) Even thinking about it gets me so incensed lmao
Comment from : ManEatingTeddyBear

The only one I have read on Reese's list is The Sanatorium, and I gave it a solid 3 It's fine, but the main character is really annoying The only other one I have on my TBR is The Firekeeper's Daughter, and I'm encouraged to pick it up if you say you liked it!
Comment from : RebelBelle13

I want to read The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches have you heard of it? 🧙‍♀️
Comment from : Jenn

Haven’t read any of those books 🙃🙃 I’ll stick to your Hugo/nebula/locus award challenge cause I’m a more fantasy/sci-fi lover 👽🧬
Comment from : Nico

I didn't understand what are the controversies going around Delia Owens? She had one of the most best selling book all the time as far as I know
Comment from : Fikrat Douk

I didn’t like Lucy Foley either I’ve read two of them and I don’t think I will read any more by her I just don’t jibe with that author
Comment from : Barbara Lemon

Booker and Pulitzer Prizes
Comment from : C Dal

Reese book club picks aren’t generally for me It’s very hit or miss I read the Paris Apartment and really didn’t like it Not sure why there was hype with that one at all…
Comment from : allieblank

I saw that The Last Thing He Told Me's author 's husband was a screenwriter and there was already plans for a TV show which is how I explained how it got the push (I did not love) but I actually didn't know this book club did that many mystery/thrillers! So maybe it wasn't such of an anomaly
Comment from : inkyspines

A lot of the books from her bookclub seem to be General fiction and that's not a genre I enjoy I always get bored
Comment from : Marie

I gave up on Witherspoon book club, more misses to take She buys movie rights to books and sometimes they change it from original book
Comment from : Sheila K

May i ask how the kittens are? Last you mentioned they were not having a good time and i am really wondering
Comment from : Roseann Broz

Maybe check out the women's prize for fiction I think you might enjoy reading the shortlist
Comment from : Sonja Meyer

Emily, what lipstick are you using?
Comment from : Maca 03

emma roberts also has a book club, its called belletrist
Comment from : tassie

Reese Witherspoon's pics are almost universally Not For Me Her tastes and mine definitely usually a mismatch, although I'm sure there are exceptionsbrI've read through much of the Hugo and Nebula shortlists, but not on purpose I just notice when I go and look at past winners that I seem to have read much of it! I won't read anything that doesn't look like it's my cuppa, though - not a completionist! I look at other prize lists (or follow booktubers that do) and just pick the books that look like they are up my alleybrI've never read anything by Ann Patchett, but Tom Lake is getting so much love I may get FOMO and give it a try
