It’s a WrAPP: The Reese’s Book Club App Launched!

Your read on everything that happened during launch week inside Reese’s Book Club and what comes next.

After thousands of pages, hundreds (literally) of Slack messages, and more than a few sleepless nights, the next chapter of Reese’s Book Club is here. And while we hoped you’d love it as much as we do, we were completely blown away by your response: Within the first 48-hours, thousands of book lovers from around the world came aboard!

More than that, you’re already using the platform to join events, like our first-ever in-App Launch Party, start discussions, and win prizes.

We were thrilled to see so many of your faces at our first ever Launch Party. But, our system was definitely overwhelmed… in the best way possible. But, we’re working to make sure that things run smoother next and it’s much easier to spot Reese in the crowd (yes, she and author Sarah Pearse were both there!) .

Also about those tags… we see you! We’re making it easier to tag your fellow book lovers, so you can see when you’ve been tagged or when someone’s responding to your fiercest book opinions.

Can we follow people on the app? Not yet, but soon. Stay tuned!

The Launch Party crashed/kicked me out, what happened there? Literally, we had no idea so many of you would join us, so we’re working to make the experience seamless for next time.

I couldn’t see any of the videos in the Launch Party? We hear you…fixing it!

I didn’t get a notification, so I missed the Pick Party? Let’s make sure that never happens again! Turn on your notifications in your profile settings.

Can we receive notifications when someone replies to my comments? Not yet, but soon. Stay tuned!

How does the swap, send, or lend feature work? First, we love how many of you are interested in this feature, so we’re going to close this chat temporarily and do some matchmaking. Because books are our love language.

Bookmark your calendar for our next Pick Party on March 2nd!

Our Clue Countdown launches on March 1st, so sharpen your pencils and put on your detective hats because sleuthing out our next pick will win you $1000 in books to an indie bookstore via bookshop.org.

Okay, enough chit chat…said us never. New Club Chats are happening every week and we’ve got upcoming discussions for our February Pick, The Sanatorium, so keep reading to share your Whodunit opinions. Seriously….the ending.

"I quite literally told anyone who would listen about this book."

The Three Lives of Cate Kay and its love stories alway brighten our day. 🌈☀️
You know and love The Last Thing He Told Me. Now it's time to get ready for its sequel: The First Time I Saw Him, available January 2026!
Celebrating the first day of summer with some of our hottest reads ☀️ What’s the perfect book to kick off the season with?
"As I came to understand my path as that of a writer, I realized that my family didn’t have much in the way of material things to pass down, but had stories, had representations of the life we lived together on this earth, and folks before me had representations of the life they lived and survived so that I could be so privileged to be here to tell you all about it…and that for me is the legacy."

Thank you, @delana.r.a.dameron, for sharing Redwood Court with the world and reminding us why it's important to tell stories. Experience the beauty of Redwood Court at our link in bio.
When a book you adore gets a companion ✨ 

If you loved Seven Days in June and everything it celebrates, you’re in for a treat. In Audre & Bash Are Just Friends, @tiawilliamswrites revisits the world of Seven Day in June and gives Audre the main character treatment. Start reading to find out why first love stories never lose their magic.
Inspired by this sweet moment of nostalgia in Tom Lake to take the time to appreciate both the past and present this morning. ✨
