“The Queen of Books™”, (we are now dubbing her this, trademark pending) Oprah Winfrey has officially hit an incredible milestone.
Oprah's Book Club has hit its 100th book selection!!
If you are counting that's 8 years and 3 months worth of books selections, meaning she is the Cal Ripken of consecutive book selections. Impressively, these selections have spanned over 27 years, starting in 1996.
To make this news even more exciting, the author she picked for this month's selection we actually interviewed for her book “Dear Edwards” (which is also an upcoming Apple TV series). Check out our interview with Ann Napolitano interview here!

What's better than 1 BookTuber?… 3!
This week we had a BookTube (YouTube + book content creator) crossover for the ages.
Haley Pham, lifestyle YouTuber turned BookTube sensation (2.55 million subscribers) collaborated with the oh so talented Destiny Sidwell (117K Subscribers) and New Jersey's Sara Carrolli (170K subscribers) for a series of bingeable bookish videos.
In a total of 6 videos (as of this writing), the supergroup stayed in an Airbnb for a week to swap their favorite 5-star reads with each other to see if they were truly worth of their covenant 5 star ratings.
The collaboration is a masterclass in different editing styles with each creator adding their unique flair to their respective videos.
We are bullish on bookish collaborations and it was a great surprise to see some of the biggest bookish content creators on YouTube come together for this series. We look forward to more crossovers!
The videos have racked up over 548K views in just 6 days. We will attach their channels below - give them a follow and tell them Read More sent you 😉! (Use these emojis: 📚💪)
As always, if you enjoyed this week’s newsletter, please share with others. Every share helps and keeps us growing!
See you next week!
