Emma Watson ‘Our Shared Shelf’ Book Club Round Up
Aug 03, 2016
News, Watson
Since the creation Our Shared Shelf earlier this year, Emma Watson’s feminist book club has been a success. At the time of writing, the group has over 140k members and a lively discussion board where Emma herself posts updates and gathers input from its members.
For the month of June, Emma chose Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi as the reading selection for Our Shared Shelf. Emma recently interviewed the author for Vogue, discussing details about the revolutionary autobiographical graphic novel.

Emma’s book selection for the months of July and August is Hunger Makes me a Modern Girl by Carrie Brownstein. This marks the first time since the creation of the book club that Emma has used a poll to allow book club members to take part in choosing their upcoming read. Emma also made the decision to switch book selections to a bi-monthly basis, allowing readers more time to purchase, read, and discuss the books.
