Malala is so known by the world that she needs to be introduced by only her first name.

In her new memoir, Finding My Way, Malala reveals she's reclaiming her story and reintroducing herself to the world.

Let Malala Reintroduce Herself

This week, we’re digging into GIRL DINNER, the newest book from Olivie Blake — who you may also know as the Reese’s Book Club author, Alexene Farol Follmouth. What begins as a classic campus novel evolves into a psychological thriller, dripping with satire, just in time for spooky season. Danielle and Olivie get into all of it – from wellness culture, to motherhood, to modern feminism – and believe us: you’ll be hungry for more.

Hunger and the Horrors of Girlhood with Author Olivie Blake

This week, we’re talking about belonging—finding where you feel most yourself and building community around that truth. Eliana Ramage is the author of this month’s Reese’s Book Club Pick, To the Moon and Back, a novel that explores identity, ambition, sapphic romance, and the complicated bonds between mothers, daughters, and chosen family. Eliana opens up about weaving her Cherokee roots and queer experience into her storytelling, and how that process shaped her own journey of self-discovery. She unpacks the many layers of connection—and what it means to find your place in the world when you live at the intersection of identities.

Eliana Ramage on Writing Queer and Indigenous Stories in the September Reese's Book Club Pick

Leigh Bardugo is one of the most prolific fantasy authors of our time. And yet, the powerhouse behind Shadow and Bone, Six of Crows, and the Alex Stern trilogy, didn't get published until she was 37. After many years of false starts, Leigh found the confidence to put pen to paper and in that uncomfortable journey, facing doubts and failure, found her voice. The so-called "Goth Auntie" has enraptured fans ever since with the immersive universes she creates. And now she wants you to do the same, to face your discomfort in the name of making art. This is your master class in tapping into your inner creative.
