What books are celebrities reading lately?

The Rules of Magic
reesewitherspoon: Exciting news! The next @RWBookClub pick is #TheRulesOfMagic by @AHoffmanWriter. It’s a story about magic, curses, and the power of love. I just know you’ll love this book and the Owens family as much as I do. Happy reading, #RWBookClub!

I'm Fine
normancook: Netty and I taking a bite out of my girl @whitneycummings new book. Oh and we are totally fine. Just fine. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🦄 👍🏼

The Faraway Nearby
wellhayley: #rebeccasolnit can't get enough of you 💫

The Devil's Triangle
melissabenoist: I have a very talented and hilarious sister. She has a book out today. 📚 Readers--get reading 📚

The Mother of all Questions
jennyslate: If you are a man, it is not enough to be outraged in solidarity. Rape and harassment and general inequality cannot fall under the heading of "women's issues". These are YOUR issues. You are benefiting from your silence, but will benefit even more if you actively speak out against sexism and harassment, and actively support the women who are brave enough to speak up in a society that is trying to keep them silent and afraid forever. A new type of beautiful and safer and satisfying community can be built based on the truth of our common and equal humanity. (This is a statement by Teju Cole, which is also in Rebecca Solnit's THE MOTHER OF ALL QUESTIONS)

The Rules of Magic looks interesting.

Has anyone read it?
(Goodreads is down, and won't let me access the site)

I have. I really liked it.

Ah that's great! I'll check it out rn :)

does it pick up where practical magic left off?

I really, really want to read it!

Need to do a lot more reading. I'm going to pick up All the Missing Girls tonight from the library. I think I might do a book challenge for myself where only read books written by women for the whole year.

I agree, I think the only book in my personal collection at home by a male author is Jurassic Park, the rest are all women authors lol

All the Missing Girls was a good read. I'm a sucker for that genre though

Once I started looking for solely female authors I became so frustrated by the ratio between male-authored books and female-authored books.

Almost half of my total books for the year are by women, which im surprised about because ive been focusing in the horror genre.

i've been wanting to do something like that where i read books by women authors but i've failed a few times bc i ended up reading a book by a man at some point but i think maybe next year if i outline what i want to read better i might actually accomplish it.

I don't enjoy reading books by men, usually. I just looked through most of my recent reads and they're like 95% female authors.

All the Missing Girls was really good too, it took me a minute to understand the chapter layout but I really enjoyed it.

that's an awesome idea. once I started noticing the %'s in my reading, I've been more aware of what sort of authors I'm picking up so now it's more veered towards women and a lot more towards poc. unless it's reeeally hyped for me, I try to avoid white male authors.

I remember when I did my first reading challenge I vowed to read only women until I hit my goal for the year and once I did...I still kept reading mostly women, haha. In general I mostly read books written by women. It's not even a super conscious effort tbh...I just find women writers more interesting and I don't have to brace myself for the way that men write women

👀 @ Reese reading The Rules of Magic. inb4 she's producing a film adaptation & i'm very hft, i need more Practical Magic type movies in my lfe.

also, oblig "is Emma Roberts still with Evan Peters?" question. kinda hoping he finally dumps her ass for good after the Hayden thing....

She's producing like 800 things, I swear.

haha that was the first thing I thought of when I saw Reese reading that, I hopeeee she makes it into a movie!

I finally started cmbyn

the writing is gorgeous

it really is. it wasn't like anything I had really read before, tbh, with Elio's voice.

lady_of_elves

what is it?

call me by your name

Also does anyone have a link to this house of clay and water??
I've checked everywhere (libgen/torrent/irc chat/vk & not even amazon uk/waterstones has it)

I'm reading before the fall and the bill oreilly character is such an ass i want to strangle him. The character is so hatable i love it.

I 'm nearly done with the Cognetti book he won the Strega for, Le otto montagne

eh, idk. it's not bad but very... outdoorsy lol. not for me. and when he met the old Nepalese guy who ~understood he wasn't just another backpacker~ omg blah

I'm starting a new memoir tonight about a female chef but I forgot what its called.

Blood, Bones and Butter? Gabrielle Hamilton?

still reading Dangerous Liaisons. Still enjoying it. Going to read Carmilla and A Night in with Marilyn Monroe next.

The 24 hour readathon is this saturday but I'm not gonna have as much time as I usually do for reading :(
I still hope to finish at least two books.

I'm going to try to read for as many hours as I can. I volunteered to moderate the 14th hour in the goodreads group. If you're in goodreads join the readathon group!

I put I Hate The Internet on hold from the library so that's next up for me. Can't wait

Hows Rebecca Solnit? I've heard so much about her but I think I've only read essays

dense, witty, meandering, brilliant

that sounds perfect. What's your favorite book of hers?

I've only read Men Explain Things to Me and it was really good.

20727

I'm still reading my Pride and Prejudice fic (it's so long) but I think I'm going to stick with light for the rest of the month. I can get through more books that way.

i'm not reading until i'm done writing this novel i'm working on lol

I would cry if I decided to do that. I write like one chapter a month.

lol i'm basically pushing myself to focus this time around, and reading novels just distracts me

cuteej4 Expand

I admire your dedication! Good luck!

Good luck!
What's your novel about? :o

neverhft

WHAT. lol

what is this even about? And what else have you read?

Honestly, this is a hilarious idea.
