If you follow Emma Roberts on Instagram, you know she posts a lot of different things: photo shoots she's done, throwbacks, selfies, and, of course, books. Roberts has posted so many book recommendations to her Instagram that it was only natural she would co-found Belletrist, an online book club, with her best friend Karah Preiss.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Roberts explained how the book club came to be. "... I started organically posting what I'm reading on Instagram, because that's such a big part of my life, and it's what I share with people," she said. "I was realizing it was starting so many conversations, and so many people were tagging me, and people were telling me about the books that they were writing, and their favorite books. And so many scripts I read are based on books, so it's really a huge part of my life."
The book club is perfectly on brand with sweet and smart Roberts. "It's just this labor of love from my best friend and me," she added. And it's a labor of love that hundreds of thousands of people appreciate.
