Emma Watson’s feminist book club -- Our Shared Shelf is open to anyone who wants to join. Emma, the UN Women Goodwill ambassador, announced that meetings will be conducted through a group on Goodreads. What inspires her to launch this club is that “As part of my work with UN Women, I have started reading as many books and essays about equality as I can get my hands on. There is so much amazing stuff out there! Funny, inspiring, sad, thought-provoking, empowering!”
Our Shared Shelf will select and read a book every two months, then discuss the work and related topics together. And Emma will post some questions to get things started and foster open discussion with members.

3. Belletrist
Emma Roberts is an American actress. She loves books and the people who write them. That's why she and her friend Karah Preiss started Belletrist, a book club any avid reader can sign up via Instagram. Belletrist's purpose is to keep it organic, and to always pick books that the founders love and believe people would want to read, instead of picking books based on what's going to be big or on-topic. Of course, they will also pick those books. But it always has to be from a place of loving a book.
Emma Roberts and Karah Preiss will discover, read, and celebrate a new book every month. But sometimes that'll be a video, sometimes that'll be an interview, or something completely different.
