Apple has announced that Reese’s Book Club has found an official home within Apple Books. The Hollywood star has amassed a strong following of readers who vibe with her tastes, the likes of which can send featured titles into the stratosphere. It’s the latest partnership her media company Hello Sunshine has inked with Apple, which also produces Apple TV Plus original series like The Last Thing He Told Me.
You can follow Reese Witherspoon’s monthly reading interests in audiobook format directly within the app, which now has a dedicated portal that makes it easy to find and purchase her latest recommendations.
Reese’s Book Club has proven wildly popular, with her influence quickly outpacing the likes of Oprah’s. With more than 3 million Instagram followers as of writing and many more across other platforms, her mere mention of a new piece can generate tens of thousands of sales. That’s what happened with Claire Lombardo’s 2019 novel The Most Fun We Ever Had, which moved more than 27,000 copies within two weeks of getting a nod after five years on the market, points out The New York Times.
In addition to Reese’s personal favorites — which feature stories heavily centered around women such as Ally Condie’s New York Times bestseller The Unwedding — Apple’s curators will regularly highlight themed collections and new picks, including some that will be revealed exclusively within Apple Books. You’ll also get exclusive discounts on featured audiobooks and receive notifications whenever new drops arrive. You can hop in and start browsing immediately if you’re on the latest version of Apple Books.
