Our Shared Shelf
Book clubs provide a platform for intellectual discussion and community building. They offer both personal and social benefits to readers. This is why it is good for you to join one today.
Our Shared Shelf is another vibrant book club which was founded in 2016 by actor Emma Watson as part of her work with UN women. Emma selected a book with feminist themes every two months for discussion. She ended the formal book club in January 2020 and requested its Facebook and GoodReads community members to continue to share recommendations with each other. Her book picks focus on books and essays about equality and her group is a place for education and empowerment as much as an overall love of reading. This community continues to thrive on Goodreads, as well as Twitter and Instagram under the hashtag #oursharedshelf. On these platforms you will find book-lovers and feminists always discussing and recommending excellent titles. This is a lively community worth your membership.
