Reese’s Book Club

Good Morning America Book Club

AtmosphereAtmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
🎧 Audiobook

From GMA: “It’s an epic new novel set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program about the extraordinary lengths we go to live and love beyond our limits.”


GMA YA Book Club

Time After TimeTime After Time by Mikki Daughtry
🎧 Audiobook

From GMA: “This sweet, sapphic romance from the bestselling co-author of Five Feet Apart is the perfect summer read and will make your heart swoon for all the right reasons.”

Two love stories. One hundred years apart. An unforgettable sapphic romance. Are Libby and Tish living the same story as the couple they can’t stop reading about, and is this their chance to get it right?


Belletrist (Emma Roberts & Karah Priess)

LushLush by Rochelle Dowden-Lord
🎧 Audiobook

From Belletrist: “Four wine experts, each at a crucial point in their lives, arrive at a French vineyard estate for an unforgettable experience—but not the kind they expected.”

For fans of Sweetbitter, this intoxicating debut novel is set in the glamorous, exclusive, and unexpectedly raucous world of wine. Unfolding over several days of indulgence in delicious food and drink, raucous debauchery, and transformative truths that will leave each character changed forever, this is a sensuous tour of the wine industry’s extreme pleasures and pains.


Service95 Book Club (Dua Lipa)

Widow BasquiatWidow Basquiat by Jennifer Clement

From Dua Lipa: “On one level, Widow Basquiat is a chaotic love story between the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and his lover and muse, Suzanne Malouk. Just 20 years old when they meet, we witness them hustling to make it in 1980s New York: a place where anything feels possible but that also hides a dark and sinister side of drugs, violence and racism. The book is also a remarkably deep, tender and, at times, disturbing study of these two young souls—their difficult childhoods, the clubs, bars and galleries they inhabit and the forces of ambition, jealousy and excess that ultimately lead to Basquiat’s death at the age of only 27.”


Tea Time Book Club (Dakota Johnson)

FlashlightFlashlight by Susan Choi
🎧 Audiobook

From Tea Time: “Low-key plot queen @susanmchoi does it again. Portrayals of adolescents that are nearly infinite in their nuance. A historical lens that challenges what you think you might know. Commanding, engrossing writing.”
