BOOKS

When you hear the words "book club," you probably imagine your mom and her friends all huddled in the living room, gabbing about the latest boring book they're reading, but Emma Roberts is redefining what a book club is.

Teaming up with writer and producer Karah Preiss, Emma has created a social media book club called Belletrist. The club is a place for people to come together and discuss some of their fave books, give recommendations and to see what Emma has been reading—and it's all online! Every month there will be a new book posted to the club's Instagram account, and the first book the club is reading is South and West by Joan Didion. The Instagram also shares pictures of vintage books and regrams of readers with their books that give us *major* book feels. 

To join the book club, all you need to do is read the book for the month and interact with others—that's it! Post pictures of yourself with the book or comment what you thought with the hashtag #belletristbook or #belletristbabe under a picture on the club's Insta. It seems as if with each new book, the Belletrist website will feature an interview with the book's author and an essay about the book, both by Emma. The site promises to roll out exciting new features in the future too, such as live discussions. Emma's personal Instagram also features some of her favorite and most recents reads that can be discussed on Belletrist!
