Celebrity Book Recommendations


Are you a reader that also follows favorite celebrities? Then you might also be interested in what they're reading. Ever since Oprah started her successful book club (was their a celebrity before her that recommended books?), various celebrity book clubs have come and gone. It's hard work to read enough books to be able to pick one a month as a recommendation for 'the world' to read. As I'm looking to expand my Celebrity Reading Lists (see the Reading List tab at the top of the page), here are a few celebrity reading lists I've come across.


Click the book cover to go to the Goodreads listing.

The Cherry Robbers - general fiction; guns, artist, creating a new life

Complete, updated book club lists for Reese Witherspoon, Oprah, and GMA (Good Morning America), are located at the Reading List tab at the top of the page. There's also a BJ Reading List which is all the themed reading lists I've compiled. I'll work on getting pages for the above celebrity full reading lists as well.


There are SO many books and authors here that I've never heard of which once again shows the absolutely huge volume of books available to read! Have you read any of these books? What did you think?







Welcome to Bookshelf Journeys.

It's my goal to provide real reviews of the books I read without totally rehashing every plot. I'll never spoil a story by giving away a plot twist! Hopefully you'll find one or two of interest and will discover a new book or author to add to YOUR TBR list.  Take a moment to explore, read a couple reviews, and let me know what you think.

                            TIPS

For your convenience, I use #hashtags in the reviews and when you click on one, you'll find more books with that theme. Hopefully you'll find it a helpful way to navigate the site and find books you'll enjoy. I've also recently added tags that will show up at the end of each review that serve the same purpose.

The review ratings are based on a 5 star  (1/2 stars sometimes) system with a 3 being an average read for me. I hope you find that helpful. Knowing, of course, that all opinions are just that - my opinion!  Let me know if you agree or disagree - I'd love to hear from you.

If you like what you see and want to keep up with me, subscribe below.  Happy Reading!
