A Super-Packed Bookshelf Can Only Mean One Thing…

6-months and 50-ish books later, we’re ready for summer

If you told us 6-months ago, Reese’s Book Club would be over 2.1 million members strong… we probably wouldn’t have believed a word. Yet, here we are. Together, we’ve explored mysteries, investigated whodunits, and according to our most recent poll, crushed between 41-50 books each.

Before we dive into Club updates we wanted to give a shout out to Diana P., who finished 101 books/audiobooks as of June 9th. Diana says “The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah, The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata, and by Angeline Boulley have been standouts for me so far.” If you see Diana in the Club Chats send her a fist bump and let’s keep reading, together.

On Friday, June 18th, we’ll be chatting together about all things royal teen romance through the end of Chapter 20, so if you’re not there yet…read away!

But How Does it End?

Literally, has us swooning and asking whether Eva and Shane’s love is destined to last or fade like our fake tan. We had to know what you thought: Will they or won’t they end up together in the end?

“A novel that pulses with love — for community, for family, for the spaces that make us — and sings with every stanza. UNDER THE NEON LIGHTS is a stunning ode to community that I already know I’ll be returning to again and again.” — @byleahjohnson, bestselling author of Stonewall Honor book, You Should See Me in a Crown.

"I’ve read (and watched) Pride and Prejudice more times than I could count, so I went into this with high expectations. Fans of the original will delight in this one which essentially takes the story and updates it with celebrities, influencers, Hollywood and a tiny town in Australia." ✨

Taking notes on exclusive writing tips from the Romance Queen herself, @emilyhenrywrites.
"I always had the sensation of being very small in a world that was humming with life and filled with mysteries... This idea of parallel or mirror worlds — servants and masters, locals and foreigners, the living jungle and the civilized houses — filled me with curiosity."
