Actress and celebrity Reese Witherspoon started her book club in May 2017, with the inaugural pick, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman.

Since then, it has become one of, if not the most, influential celebrity book clubs. Reese’s aim from the beginning was to highlight a book that features a female as the focal point of the story.

The most notable Reese’s Book Club pick is Where the Crawdad Sings by Delia Owens. Released in August 2018, it was the September 2018 Reese’s Book Club pick and became an overnight sensation, selling tens of millions of copies. It was adapted into a movie thanks in part to Reese’s media company, Hello Sunshine.

What was the deal with October 2025 and no pick?

Initially Reese didn’t make an October ’25 pick, as it was the month that her book Gone Before Goodbye, co-written with Harlan Coben was released. So instead of making a book club pick that month, she took everyone behind the scenes of the book instead as well as hosted a book tour in cities such as New York and London.

However the book was retroactively added as the October ’25 book club pick at a later date.
