Reese Witherspoon's Book Club: All About the Books She Loves Most and What She's Adapting for the Screen

Is Reese Witherspoon Hollywood's biggest book mogul?

Witherspoon turned Gone Girl into a box-office hit with her production company, Pacific Standard. Then she performed the same magic with Cheryl Strayed's memoir Wild, which led to an Oscar nomination for herself.

When she isn't converting books into films, she's posting about them on Instagram for her book club. Using the hashtag #RWBookClub, Witherspoon's favorites range from You'll Grow Out Of It by Jessi Klein to Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes. Many of the stories feature edgy, smart, imperfect women, and Witherspoon promises they're all great reads.

To start your own #RWBookClub journey, here are the books Witherspoon loves – and including those she is planning to bring to the big and small screens:

Witherspoon will join other stars including Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley in this adaption of Moriarty's New York Times bestseller.

In the aftermath, her parents' marriage and the perfect town explode.

Opening Belle by Maureen Sherry
Humorous insight from a former Wall Street insider results in a comical story about Belle Рa woman with a high-paying job, sexy husband and great kids Рwho is wooed by her ex-fianc̩-turned-client. Belle does her best to navigate him, an industry filled with excess, and way too much sexism for any modern woman to handle.

Second Life by S.J. Watson

TV ADAPTATIONS

Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar by Cheryl Strayed
Witherspoon is adapting Tiny Beautiful Things into a series for HBO. The book is based on the writings of the once-anonymous columnist, Sugar (now known as Cheryl Strayed). Strayed, also the author of Wild, provides advice on all of the messiest and best parts of life. So, if you've ever wanted to call in to a hotline and didn't, this may be the perfect solution.

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
Another Moriarty adaption, Big Little Lies will appear as a limited series for HBO in 2017. Starring Witherspoon, Kidman and other big names, the story revolves around a group of moms "whose perfect lives begin to unravel."

Supreme Courtship by Christopher Buckley
Supreme Courtship is another book Pacific Standard has optioned for TV, but this time with Sony Pictures TV's TriStar Television. A comedy about reality TV star Judge Pepper Cartwright joining the Supreme Court, this promises to be a hilarious "comedy about [one of] the Washington institutions most deserving of ridicule."
