In a move no one was expecting, Chrissy Teigen and Kim Kardashian are starting a book club together, HelloGiggles reports. Although Kim usually wouldn’t be our first pick for great book recommendations, she definitely seems to get inspired by others’ favorite reads, seeing as she turned to Twitter this week for new books to check out.
Any good books I should start reading? I love reading before I fall asleep and need a new book

Tons of people offered suggestions, from funny to serious (Goodnight Moon, anyone?), but it wasn’t enough for Kim. By the next day, she had returned to Twitter to share the big bookish news.
So guys….. @chrissyteigen & @jenatkinhair & I are starting a book club!

Kim, Chrissy and their celebrity hairstylist friend Jen Atkin will first read Betty J. Eadie’s 1994 book Embraced by the Light: The Most Profound and Complete Near-Death Experience Ever. The book covers Eadie dying during surgery but then returning to life. Um, cool, I guess?
According to Chrissy, all someone has to do to join the new club is get the book and start reading. The group ought to hit it big soon—it looks like Kim is adding a book club feature on her official app.
Yes totally! We are setting it up now! #BookClub #KKWAPP https://t.co/AgKH2icyVp

Enjoying the club’s first book might require an acquired taste, but this is definitely something to keep an eye on for other unexpectedly good reads.
