Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club (Hello Sunshine)’s pick for March 2026:
Founded in 2017, Hello Sunshine always chooses books with women at the centre of the story. Their website notes “We make our choices thoughtfully and look for ways to deepen our connection to books, authors and ourselves”.   This book club chose “Lady Tremaine” by Rachel Hochhauser as their March 2026 pick.
Length: ~13 hours.
Narrator: Bessie Carter.
Genre: Historical Fiction
Summary:
Twice widowed and fiercely protective of her family’s fragile status, Lady Etheldreda Tremaine struggles to secure respectable futures for her daughters while managing a crumbling estate, a difficult stepdaughter, and her late husband’s legacy. When a royal ball presents a rare chance to elevate their fortunes, her plans go awry as the wrong daughter becomes entangled with the future king, exposing a dark royal secret that forces Ethel to choose between ambition and compassion. This story reimagines the classic “evil stepmother” myth as a bold tale of maternal devotion, resilience, and women forging their own destinies.
Good Morning America’s Book Club’s pick:
The GMA Book Club is officially called “Cover to Cover” and was started in the Fall of 2019. Their selections highlight diversity and books are chosen from both fiction and non-fiction genres. The book club chose “The Secret Lives of Murderers’ Wives” by Elizabeth Arnott as their March 2026 pick.

Narrator: Saskia Maarleveld, Karissa Vacker.
Genre: Mysteries & Thrillers
Summary:
Three women—Beverley, Elsie, and Margot—form an unexpected bond during the summer of 1966 after their husbands are exposed as brutal killers, leaving them stigmatized and struggling to rebuild their lives while raising children, pursuing careers, and maintaining fragile social facades. As public suspicion and shame follow them, a new string of local murders pushes the underestimated trio to take matters into their own hands, convinced that their intimate knowledge of violent men uniquely equips them to uncover the truth. The novel blends suspense with emotional depth, portraying shattered trust, resilience, and the empowering strength of female friendship in the face of scandal and danger.
Read With Jenna (Jenna Bush Hager)’s pick:
In March 2019, the former First Daughter announced her book club on the Today show.  Each month she chooses a book that is sure to generate discussion.  Jenna chose “Wait For Me” by Amy Jo Burns as her March 2026 pick.

Folk star Elle Harlow rises to fame in 1973 with acclaimed albums and a haunting past, only to vanish mysteriously after a triumphant Grand Ole Opry performance, leaving fans and loved ones stunned. Nearly twenty years later, small-town teen Marijohn Shaw—an aspiring songwriter yearning for her absent mother—uncovers clues tied to Elle’s disappearance when a meteor crash reveals a buried piece of history, forcing her to question her father’s story and her own identity. Spanning Appalachia and Nashville, the novel intertwines their lives in a lyrical tale of music, betrayal, legacy, and a young woman’s determination to reclaim a lost voice and believe in love again.
Oprah’s Book Club:

Summary:
Lifelong friends Vernice and Annie grow up together in Honeysuckle, Louisiana, bonded by their motherless childhoods yet destined for very different paths: Vernice escapes to Atlanta, where she enters an elite circle of influential Black women and confronts privilege and inequality, while Annie embarks on a perilous quest to find the mother who abandoned her, encountering danger, love, and hardship along the way.
