Did you ever think to look for your summer reading list in Instagram book clubs? When you think about Instagram, the first that come to mind are pictures that people post of their dogs, their holidays, their food etc., but also, Instagram is fast becoming one of the most popular online places for up and coming book clubs? Sure, it’s not a platform that you would immediately associate with in-depth discussions about literature, but the sheer number of users and the ease of searching hashtags is proving to be a real benefit in helping to bring book lovers together. Here are some book clubs on Instagram that all readers should follow!

Reese’s Book Club X Hello Sunshine
Reese Witherspoon is one the most prominent celebrity book lovers on Instagram, and she went even further in her passion when she founded the Hello Sunshine Book Club. Each month she picks a great new read for her followers to enjoy along with her, and the best part is that she tends to buy the rights for the ones she loves the most to make TV shows and movies out of them.
