Don’t Miss Out on These December Celebrity Book Club Picks

This month, Emma Watson picked a pair of Rebecca Solnit works for her book club, Our Shared Shelf. The first is Solnit’s latest, “Whose Story is This?” “Solnit … strikes me as someone who has made total peace with her role of what some might call being ‘antagonising’ in order to do the very important work of telling the truth or getting as close as we can to it, with all the possible bias and participation mystique,” Watson writes of the feminist author on the Goodreads announcement post. The other pick is Solnit’s “Cinderella Liberator.”

Former NFL quarterback Andrew Luck selected “Red Notice” as his final book club pick of 2019. Written like a gripping thriller novel, Bill Browder’s account of exposing deep corruption in Russia and his unfailing will to fight against Vladimir Putin’s regime proves that sometimes fact is far stranger than fiction.

Over the holidays, author John Green and literary critic Rosianna Halse Rojas have their book club reading the classic children’s novel “Howl’s Moving Castle.” If you’ve only ever seen the whimsical Hayao Miyazaki adaptation, you’re in for a delight with the original series.
