In these early days of January, it is customary to pick up good habits again. Such as, notably, the habit of replacing scrolling with reading<\/strong>. And if you need a little motivation to do so, good news, book clubs are more popular than ever! From Martin Scorsese to Dua Lipa<\/strong>, along with content creators watching their community grow through recommendations, books are reclaiming a dear place in our hearts, aligning with the current desire to reconnect with so-called analog hobbies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bookstagram, BookTok, Substack… The New Era of Literature Lovers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the podcast craze, it seems that another meeting is gaining success. Namely, that of book clubs. Indeed, in recent years, a pronounced return of literature<\/strong> has been noted on social media. Initially appearing in the form of content presenting recommendations and reviews of books, small reading groups have formed, resulting from a constantly growing community seeking to share its love for words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This trend of digital book clubs highlights the current desire to reconnect with so-called analog activities<\/strong>, away from screens, while using the power of networks to connect with people who share common interests and live around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The success of book clubs is such that the contents of #bookstagram and #booktok, which have echoed the popularity of platforms like Substack or Fable, have allowed creators to gather large communities and also to propose events moving beyond the digital realm to meet<\/strong> and exchange their reading experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is particularly the case for Tanya Burr, with her Chapter book club shared on Substack, for which she organizes a monthly meeting on Zoom, or in person when possible, with a very friendly atmosphere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these creators open conversations and link the arts<\/strong> through their book clubs. This is the case with Jack Edwards and his Inklings Book Club, with which he recently spoke with author Maggie O’Farrell, as well as Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal on the occasion of the release of the adaptation directed by Chlo\u00e9 Zhao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, some familiar figures have also ventured into this adventure, like Emma Watson or Dua Lipa, who developed Service 95 and is expanding into a podcast. Or even Martin Scorsese, a fan of book clubs, whose reading in 2020 was the origin of one of his recent productions, Die My Love<\/em>, directed by Lynne Ramsay and starring Jennifer Lawrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Literature as a Source of Inspiration Right Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is a fact that, in addition to inspiring the creation of numerous book clubs, literary works are more than ever the source of adaptations destined for the big screen or streaming platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, after the latest film by Guillermo del Toro, Frankenstein<\/em><\/a>, which received a warm welcome at festivals and upon its release on Netflix, the highly anticipated The Housekeeper<\/em> has just hit theaters, soon followed by People We Meet on Vacation<\/em> and His & Hers<\/em> on the Tudum platform. And the coming months will not lack adaptations<\/strong> with numerous titles announced, including Hamnet, Bridgerton S04, Wuthering Heights, Project Hail Mary, The Devil Wears Prada, The Witches 2, The Odyssey, The Dog Stars, Verity, Remain, Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Dune Part 3, Sense and Sensibility<\/em>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And books and book clubs inspire not only the audiovisual landscape, but fashion is also taking them as muses. Recently, it was at Dior that classics of literature were revealed, on tote bags designed by Jonathan Anderson<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Apps to Accompany Your Reading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are like me and tend to have a new reading idea every hour, read 5 books at the same time, and store\/lend your books here and there… Here are two apps that I recommend to help you see more clearly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Liblib: create a virtual library<\/strong> of your books. Ideal for remembering the titles you’ve read + the ability to create subcategories (e.g., lent books). Special mention for the fun aspect of scanning your books with your phone (or a scanner to buy) and becoming a perfect librarian who goes beep beep!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Goodreads: an app for making reading lists<\/strong> and tracking your progress, but also a platform that brings together a large community, allowing you to read reviews, rate and discover books, connect with other readers, and even participate in reading challenges.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We hope this article has inspired you to read, and why not, to turn to book clubs! Goal 2026: to reduce the pile of books gathering dust next to our bedside table!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
