In the last few days we have known the literary action that Emma Watson, a co-star of the Harry Potter film saga, has performed in the London Underground. These actions have made book clubs become increasingly popular, becoming a trend item.
In the last hours, the digital book clubs that we can find through applications like Goodreads, Tumblr or Facebook have regained their fame and users who had left the club.
Digital book clubs are being created thanks to apps and applications like Goodreads or Facebook
But this does not happen in all digital book clubs. Apparently the club that have a celebrity or someone pseudo famous It is the one that is rapidly growing and gaining fame. It goes without saying that Emma Watson's book club has grown but it has not been the only one. Others such as the Wired Book Club or the Reblog Club have grown considerably, among other things because they are clubs of famous directors and media.
A striking exception to this trend is Zoella's book club. Zoella is a famous vlogger who has used her YouTube fame to popularize her book club although it will not be found through a Wi-Fi connection but physically. Something that has been achieved thanks to a famous British bookstore franchise.
In any case, it seems that book clubs are back to take center stage as well as the passion for reading, something interesting despite the fact that in our country, in Spain, it seems that not much is lavished. This trend may instead reach Spain because it is easier for people to participate in digital events than to have a reading club in each of the towns in Spain. Do not you think?
