Find your next read at Reese Witherspoon’s pop-up book club highlighting women’s stories, making its exclusive Canadian stop at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel’s Lobby Library.
Launching January 12, Reese’s Book Club, a venture by Reese Witherspoon’s media company Hello Sunshine, will unite guests and locals in Toronto. The Lobby Library will feature Witherspoon’s picks and offer a curated selection of tales that visitors can cozy up to read or purchase for themselves. From past picks to new genres, the Lobby Library is a space where Torontonians can immerse themselves into Witherspoon’s picks.
Additionally, day passes have become steadily available for events in the Lobby Library as part of Sheraton’s Gatherings program, including “Books, Bingo and Bubbles,” “Chapters & Charcuterie” and “Books and Brew.” Serving as a spoken documentation of their travels, these events help readers feel inspired by communities around the world.

The re-designed Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel has over 50 years’ worth of stories weaving together travelers and locals, Tim Reardon, Area General Manager said. “We’re thrilled to be a part of this collaboration with Reese’s Book Club, the Internet’s biggest book club, and bring our communities together through a shared love of reading.”
According to the Reese’s Book Club website, “each month, Reese, our founder (and book-lover-in-chief) chooses a book with a woman at the center of the story.” First launched in 2017 in partnership with the actress’ company, the club has garnered over 2.5 million members. From coming-of-age tales to romantic thrillers, each book seeks to deepen readers’ connections to authors, books, and to ourselves.
Witherspoon selected First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston as her January favourite. The novel follows Evie Porter, an all-round “Southern girl” defined by her “perfect, doting boyfriend, house, and white picket fence house.” Similarly, Witherspoon has elevated the profiles of many female authors including Cesca Major, R.F. Kuang, Bolu Babalola and Tia Williams.
