In 2023, book club event listings grew 24% over the prior year, according to the ticketing platform Eventbrite. Celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and RuPaul are among the celebrities who have recently launched their own book clubs.
This hour, we hear about these new communities of readers where we live, and the influence of "BookTok" and "Bookstagram."
