Apple Books is now the official audiobook home for Reese's Book Club, one of the most popular book clubs founded by Reese Witherspoon, who chooses a book each month spotlighting a woman at the center of the story. Apple Books will feature a dedicated page for users to follow to be notified about new monthly picks, browse previous selections, and experience themed editorial collections curated exclusively by Apple and Reese's Book Club editors. Apple Books will also offer exclusive pricing promotions. Additionally, the community of authors and talent from Hello Sunshine, a part of Candle Media, will curate audiobook recommendations throughout the year, offering readers more stories to choose from that will be revealed only on Apple Books.
Audiobooks help readers all around the world listen to their favorite book, experience storytelling in an immersive way, and reach their reading goals more easily, especially while on the go.
"For so many people, audiobooks are a powerful and accessible way to enjoy the experience of an amazing book," said Reese Witherspoon, Hello Sunshine's founder.
