That’s not to mention the traditional small coffee-klatsch-style book club, which brings a group of friends together to talk about a book. But more celebrities jumped on the book club bandwagon in recent years, most notably Reese Witherspoon and Emma Watson. There was the classic favorite, Oprah’s Book Club. Or, at least, socializing in person-which is where our next term comes in …īefore the big Rona hit, book clubs were already becoming more popular. People participated in the trend by posting a picture of the stack of books they were intending to read now that socializing was no longer an option. The hashtag #CoronavirusReadingStack went viral. Use the hashtag so we can look at yours like perverts. So as we all practise social distancing and remember to wash our hands for 20 seconds and sneeze/cough into tissues, armpits and elbows BUT NOT IN OUR HANDS YOU ANIMALS, what’s on your #CoronavirusReadingStack? The hashtag was a riff on his usual seasonal posts of reading stacks (e.g., #WinterReadingStack). The hashtag was started by Australian writer Benjamin Law who tweeted the hashtag the first time on March 16. Others have stocked up on books to read during social isolation: hence the #CoronavirusReadingStack. During a time when going shopping has become more difficult for many, some have chosen to stock up on necessities like toilet paper and dried beans.
