Oprah Winfrey Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Oprah Winfrey

My next @oprahsbookclub pick is “The Emperor of Gladness” by @ocean_vuong... It’s a heartfelt and powerful examination of two people at opposite ends of life, sharing the same experience of living on the fringes of society, and the unique challenges they face to survive and thrive.

My next @oprahsbookclub pick is “Culpability”...and it’s the book of the summer! This riveting novel kicks off with the Cassidy-Shaw family riding in a driverless minivan and then something happens that sets off a chain of events that will keep you hooked until the very last page.

My next @oprahsbookclub pick is “Small Things Like These” by Claire Keegan. At less than 120 pages, it’s a small book but with a mighty story. Set in 1985 and right before Christmas, Bill Furlong is an Irish coal merchant who makes a discovery that may upend his life and the life of his family.

I had to make my first trip to Maine the moment I started reading Elizabeth Strout’s “Olive, Again.” So for our @oprahsbookclub discussion, I took some book club members there to discuss the book and have some good ol’ lobster rolls 🦞📚#ReadWithUs https://t.co/7bpfrr8gpj

In 1997, I called @wallylambauthor to tell him I wanted to choose his book “She’s Come Undone” as an @oprahsbookclub selection. A year later, I dialed him again to choose “This Much Is True”...And now in 2025, I’m calling him yet again to choose his new novel...as our June selection.
