Inspiration: celebrity endorsed

The easiest way to find a good book is to ask: "Hey, what are you reading?" People love to tell you about the books they're enjoying (or hating) and celebrities are no exception.

Sometimes they're hawking their own books or promoting a friend (or sponsor), and sometimes it's legitimately because they're inspired or in love with a book and want to share. Understand the difference, and you'll be happier!

Celebrity book clubs:

• Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine book club
• Oprah Winfrey's famous book club (that launched many careers)
• NFL quarterback Andrew Luck's book club
• Rocker Florence Welch's The Florence + The Machine Book Club
• Emma Watson's feminist book club Our Shared Shelf
• Emma Roberts on Belletrist
• Sarah Jessica Parker has a gig with the American Library Association recommending books

Learn about what inspires your heroes: Locate the online presence for someone you idolize, and see if they discuss what they're reading and what inspires them. Or follow an author you've enjoyed reading to see what they're reading.
