Calling all bookworms! Welcome to the L.A. Times Book Club newsletter. I’m Meg. I write shut up and read, a book newsletter. I am also known to wade into the waters of BookTok on occasion. Books are hot right now — Dua Lipa has a book club, as do Dakota Johnson, Kaia Gerber, Emma Roberts, Emma Watson and Florence Welch, and that’s in addition to heavy-hitters Oprah Winfrey, Jenna Bush Hager and Reese Witherspoon.
Readers can find regional and genre-specific subgroups, and Patreon members receive perks such as first notice of upcoming picks and access to recorded author interviews. As the L.A. area slowly begins the process of rebuilding after the Eaton and Palisades fires, Marc Weingarten reports on how bookstores have become a vital “third place,” beacons of light drawing Angelenos seeking solace.
