Hermione Hits the Books
Harry Potter alum Emma Watson leads a monthly feminist book club,
Our Shared Shelf, which shines a light on books that
deal with gender equality. Watson, who has been
known to hide her picks around various subways
for readers to find, cites her role as UN Women
Goodwill Ambassador as the inspiration for her
book club.
While reading feminist lit to
prep for the prestigious role, Wat-
son says, “I’ve been discovering so much that, at
times, I’ve felt like my head was about to explode.”

From PBS’ The Great American Read
Vote for America’s Best-Loved Novel
“When I was a little kid, the most precious gift I could ever get was a book, and they were my friends,”
says Meredith Vieira, who’s hosting the new PBS series The Great American Read (May 22, 8 p.m. ET).
The show will feature interviews with authors and superfans and asks you to vote on its list of America’s
100 best-loved novels to choose the No. 1 beloved work of fiction. (Go to pbs.org/the-great-american-read
to vote.) In the meantime, take a look at the list. How many have you read?
“The hope is the show and the list will remind you how much you actually love to read,” Vieira says.
“Maybe you’ll be reminded of a book that you haven’t picked up for a while or you’ll see something that
you never even heard of. It’s only recently that I started to pick up novels again, and I’ve been reminded
of that joy that comes with literally taking a book to bed.”
