Reese's Book Club is notorious for giving us cozy reads with all the fall feels, and Reese's Book Club Experience during her Shine Away 2025 event in Los Angeles was no different. We at WOMEN.COM went to be your eyes and ears, and we got to see all the "Gone Before Goodbye" co-author and her team's hard work in all its glory. The space was decked out in floral displays and pumpkins to deliver that homey feel, and we loved the way they curated unique aesthetic displays (complete with candle pairings) for some of Reese's Book Club's most iconic picks. That included new releases like Joanne Lee Molinaro's "The Korean Vegan."
Hello Sunshine/Static Media
We witnessed multiple authors stop by to sign copies of some of Reese's Book Club's past picks as well. On Saturday, October 11, Clare Leslie Hall, Marissa Stapley, Emily Everrett, Ashley Jordan, Xochitl Gonzalez, and Ally Condie met with fans. The following day, we were treated to appearances from Rainbow Rowell and Tembi Locke. To truly feel the cozy vibes through your screen, though, you've got to check out our photos of the event space and the impressive displays so you can recreate Reese's dreamy bookshop aesthetic at home.
Alix E. Harrow's Starling House had one of the most autumnal set-ups
One of the most autumnal displays of the whole event came via Alix E. Harrow's "Starling House." Reese's Book Club curated a stunning set-up, complete with pumpkins, Yankee Candle's Spiced Pumpkin, star anise, and cinnamon sticks.
The shelves gave us major home inspo
From the gorgeous floral displays, to the rustic framing of the bookshelves, to the inspirational framed quotes, we got so many ideas about how to organize and show off our book collection.
Ana Reyes' The House In The Pines set up was off the cozy scale
"The House In The Pines" by Ana Reyes' display was uber-cozy. Alongside Yankee Candle's Balsam & Cedar scent, the novel was paired with moss and pinecones to evoke a foresty feel.
Books formed part of the decoration, too!
A sky-blue bookshelf used open books to create the most striking display. The pages were folded into fun patterns and attached to the shelf to draw attention to some of Reese's Book Club's top picks.
We felt the island vibes with Emily Everett's All That Life Can Afford
For Emily Everett's "All That Life Can Afford," Reese's Book Club brought out the beachy vibes (a quintessential L.A. vibe). The summer-inspired display included Pink Sands by Yankee Candle, sand, and seashells.
Plenty of Reese's Book Club picks were on display
There were several stunning displays featuring flowers and vases that showed off Reese's Book Club past picks, including Marissa Stapley's "Lucky" and Poppy Harlow's "The Color of Love." And, yes, Reese Witherspoon really reads all the books she recommends.
We checked out the Story Stage
Reese's Book Club Experience also featured a Story Stage to celebrate authors. The desk was adorned with the most stunning, colorful roses (yellow was everywhere as the book club's signature shade).
There was space to dive into a new read with stunning views of L.A.
The bookshop featured a cozy reading space with inviting cushions so readers could curl up with their favorite (new or old) book and enjoy the view.
The fun wasn't all inside, though
Reese's Book Club Experience had displays outside as well to make the most of the golden coast sunshine and provide gorgeous views with an autumnal twist. Same time next year?
