JJJ Book Club Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Chris Colfer holds up the stack of books of his series, “The Land of Stories”, during his recent book signing in New York City.

The author and actor has just embarked on his book signing tour for the sixth installment of the series, “Worlds Collide”.

During one interview on his press tour, Chris revealed that a sequel or prequel series for the books isn’t out of the question at all.

“I might go back and do a prequel series about the twins’ grandmother when she was a young girl growing up,” Chris shared. “I can always do another spinoff of something or other.”

He adds, “Just because the series is over does not mean ‘The Land of Stories’ is over, and I can say that with confidence.”

Um, we will take 15 prequels and 67 sequels please. Thanks!

“Finally, I can announce my NEXT PHOTOBOOK: ‘Hollywood’,” he wrote in the caption, holding a copy of the book.

Keegan adds that “This book took almost 5 years to shoot/create and I can’t wait for you to experience and explore it. #hollywoodbook.”

He also has another book, “life.love.beauty”, which came out in 2015.

We can not contain our excitement over the news that John Green has a new book coming out in October!

The author — who’s also behind “Looking For Alaska”, “Paper Towns” and “The Fault in Our Stars” — revealed that his brand new novel, “Turtles All The Way Down” will hit shelves this fall.

The book centers on 16-year-old Aza Holmes, a young woman looking for clues in the disappearance of a fugitive billionaire, while grappling with mental illness.

The story begins with a fugitive billionaire and a cash reward. It is about lifelong friendship, the intimacy of an unexpected reunion, Star Wars fan fiction, and tuatara. But at its heart is Aza Holmes, a young woman navigating daily existence within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

“I’ve been working on ‘Turtles All the Way Down’ for years, and I’m so excited to share it with readers this October,” John shared in a statement.

“This is my first attempt to write directly about the kind of mental illness that has affected my life since childhood, so while the story is fictional, it is also quite personal.”

Chloe Lukasiak is on a roll with big announcements this week.

First it was her return to Dance Moms, and now, it’s her book cover!

Chloe teamed up with EW to reveal the first look at the cover for her upcoming book, “Girl on Pointe: Chloe’s Guide to Talking on the World”.

“It’s kind of an inspiration and advice book, so I think it’s for anyone who needs help, or wants to know they’re not alone in these teen years,” Chloe shared. “I give advice about how to get through a bad day or a bad week, and how I deal with that.”

The book, which is out in January next year, also features some of Chloe‘s short stories.

“The beginning of my sophomore year of high school, which I just finished, I took a creative writing class,” she says. “I wrote a bunch of short stories and poems – things I thought would just go to my teacher and that would be it. But I ended up wanting to put them in my book, so I did.”

Emma Watson is doing it again and becoming the best Fairy Godmother of Books!

The Beauty and the Beast actress and activist hit the streets of Paris, France today, hiding copies of Margaret Atwood‘s “The Handmaid’s Tale” throughout the city.

The first time Emma did this was after the 2016 US Presidential Election. She hid copies of Maya Angelou‘s book Mom & Me & Mom on the NYC Subways.

The second time was during International Women’s Day this year. She hid even more feminist books around the Big Apple.

If you’re in Paris, be on the lookout!

Bethany Mota is currently touring the entire country promoting her first ever book, “Make Your Mind Up” and by watching her Instagram Stories, she’s having a blast.

But did you know that there’s also an audiobook?!

JJJ is really excited that the digital influencer is narrating the audiobook too!

“It was important to me to record the audiobook because I felt like this gave me an opportunity to be even more vulnerable with my viewers,” Bethany shares.

She adds, “Writing this book in general has caused me to be very personal and I feel like actually recording it, gives me the opportunity to tell my viewers the story in an even more personal way.”

Check out the rest of the interview with Bethany below!

JJJ Aspiring Author 101 – Lauren Miller

On book everyone should read at some point? “Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. It’s a collection of essays on writing by one of my favorite living writers. If you don’t know Anne Lamott, you should. Her voice is truly incomparable, and Bird by Bird is one of her best. It’s full of practical tips but the writing advice sort of isn’t the point. Bird by Bird is a meditation on what it means to be a writer. A kind of how-to guide for those of us who feel called to live the writing life.”

One book you’ll never get tired of reading? “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks. Or any book by Oliver Sacks, honestly. For those who aren’t familiar with him, he was a neurologist and writer who wrote about his most unusual patients. Each chapter is a case study about a particular person with some crazy neurological aberration. The subject matter itself is fascinating to me, but Sacks‘ voice is what draws me back to his books again and again. There is so much intellect but also so much humility and humanity in his writing.”

Hardcover, paperback or digital copies? “Paperback, no question. There is something about the bendy quality of a paperback book, how it fits into your hands and into your bag and into your life. I’m definitely not precious with the books I own � they get coffee dripped on them and bath water splashed on them and cookie crumbs jammed in their page cracks. Plus, of course, paperbacks are lighter for carrying, and since I always, always have my laptop with me, weight is always an issue! E-books are great for space saving, but I find the reading experience sort of disorienting because I don’t know where I am in the story. You can see what percentage you’ve read, but that’s not the same as feeling the already-read pages in your hand.”
