    My February 2025 Celebrity Book Club Picks

    The February 2025 celebrity book club picks are a fantastic mix of genres and voices that I can’t wait to dive into. From historical fiction to literary horror, there’s something for every mood this month—and as always, it was tough narrowing down my top picks. But I’ve managed to pick my favorites, and I’m already adding them to my TBR pile!

    If I had to choose just one to start with, it would be Isola by Allegra Goodman, Reese’s Book Club pick for February 2025. I don’t always find myself immersed in historical fiction, but this one promises to be rich in atmosphere and emotion. Reese’s picks never disappoint, and I’m especially excited to see how this one unfolds. I’m definitely making room for it this month.

    Oprah’s Book Club is continuing with A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, a pick that carries over from January. As a lover of all things nonfiction, I rarely pass on the genre—especially an Oprah pick one as iconic as this one. A New Earth focuses on spiritual growth and awakening, and I know it will be a powerful read for those looking to start the year with purpose.

    Next, I’m drawn to This Is a Love Story by Jessica Soffer, selected by Read With Jenna. This literary fiction pick looks like it’s going to be an emotional journey, and while it might be a bit of a tearjerker, I’m ready for it. I can already tell it will be one of those books that stays with you long after you finish it.

    And of course, I couldn’t leave out Dakota Johnson’s TeaTime Book Club pick, The Lamb by Lucy Rose. This literary horror novel is 100% going on my TBR. It sounds intense and unsettling in all the right ways, and I’m here for it!

    As for my runner-up picks, Belletrist’s selection of The Mystery Guest by Grégoire Bouillier is a memoir that’s full of wit and reflection—definitely a must-read for nonfiction fans (like yours truly). And Dua Lipa’s Service 95 Book Club pick, The Bee Sting by Paul Murray, is a literary fiction exploration of complex family dynamics that promises to be immersive and thought-provoking. Both are on my radar for future reads.

    With so many excellent options, it’s hard to choose which one to read first! But no matter what, February 2025 is shaping up to be a great month of reading. If you missed the January 2025 celebrity book club picks, be sure to check them out for even more fantastic celebrity book recommendations.

    My Top Picks From January 2025 Celebrity Book Clubs

    The January 2025 celebrity book club picks are seriously good. With so many compelling selections across different genres and voices, it was hard to narrow it down! But a few titles really stood out to me—and I’m already eyeing them for my TBR pile. Get ready for my top three . . .

    If I had to choose just one to start with, it would be A New Earth: Create a Better Life by Eckhart Tolle, Oprah’s Book Club pick this month. Oprah is kicking off the new year by revisiting this iconic title on personal fulfillment, spiritual awakening, and how to live a more meaningful life—and I couldn’t agree more. I’m definitely adding it to my list.

    As a lover of all things nonfiction, I’m especially drawn to Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock by Jenny Odell, selected by Natalie’s Book Club. It’s exactly the kind of book I can’t resist while setting New Year’s intentions. A less clock-driven life? Yes, please.

    January 2025 Celebrity Book Club Picks

    With two nonfiction picks, I’ll make my third top pick a fiction title. Another book I can’t wait to dive into? The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus by Emma Knight, selected by Read With Jenna. Honestly, how could any reader resist that title? Described as “an insightful novel that explores womanhood, motherhood, and the transformative power of friendship, all while questioning how much of our past shapes our future,” it sounds like the perfect winter weekend read. Even better? It’s written by a Canadian author — and as always, I love spotlighting standout Canadian fiction whenever I can.

    Even though I can’t read everything this month (especially with the incredible January 2025 Book of the Month selections too), I’ve also got my eye on After Life by Gayle Forman (GMA’s YA Book Club pick) and The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware (Jen Hatmaker’s Book Club selection)—which I still can’t believe I haven’t finished yet. Both sound like perfect additions to my ever-growing TBR list this season.

    With so many amazing choices from the January 2025 celebrity book club picks, it’s going to be hard to decide which to read first (especially with the incredible Book of the Month January 2025 selections too). But no matter what, I’m sure these picks will make for some fantastic reading. Let me know which ones you’re most excited about too!
