I’ve never been a crier, but I cried more than once. This was how one uses their art. Florence, for those who may not know, is a mega book lover. And more than that, she’s got her own book club online that she participates in. But it’s not a club she began; it was through a tweet by a 14-year-old girl named Leah Moloney that the “Between Two Books” club began. You can read the whole story here and marvel at how one fan’s tweet started something so big…and something that involves the singer herself. Between Two Books has an impressive 41,000 followers on Instagram. Check it out, and if you’d like, take part in the club, which not only chooses books to talk about together, but which offers up reading challenges, too. Let’s take a look through some of the books that Florence has read, loved, and talked about both for her book club, as well as through her own personal social media challenges. She is, as one would expect, an eclectic reader, traversing the worlds of fiction and poetry and non-fiction. It’s neat to see such a range of books, so many of which aren’t the big bestsellers we may already be familiar with. Not to mention some of the gorgeous bookish places.
