Actress Reese Witherspoon has become one of the most popular book readers in the world. Her book club “Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club” is the second most popular book club, only behind Oprah’s Book Club. Today, we will be looking at all the books selected by Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club!

Witherspoon launched her book club in 2017 that would give the spotlight to women writers. And just like Oprah’s book club, any book chosen by Witherspoon would go on to become a New York Times bestseller. Some books would also go on to become TV Shows or even movies directed by Witherspoon herself!
