Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon started Reese's Book Club in 2017, picking one novel a month with a woman at the centre of the story. Unlike many celebrity picks it has a pipeline behind it: her company Hello Sunshine has adapted club titles such as Where the Crawdads Sing and Little Fires Everywhere for screen. For debut authors in particular, a pick reliably means a jump in library holds and sales.
