Apple introduces Strombo's Lit, its new book club for the Apple Books app
If you are like us and like reading books and own an iPhone or an iPad and live in the United States, Canada, the UK, or Australia, you will like this news. In the countries mentioned above, Apple has launched a new book club called Strombo's Lit, which can be found in the Apple Books app (via TechCrunch).
Strombo's Lit will feature specially curated book titles from the Canadian media personality George "Strombo" Stroumboulopoulos, who also has his own Apple Music show called "STROMBO." Aside from the book titles, Strombo's Lit will also include author interviews and other content, some of which would supposedly also be available on social media.
In a tweet about the new Strombo's Lit book club, Strombo stated that the first title presented in the new book club would be the science-fiction thriller "Termination Shock" by Neal Stephenson.
Apple isn't the only company that has created its own book club. In October 2021, Netflix introduced the Netflix Book Club, which is a book club dedicated to books that have been adapted by Netflix into TV shows or movies.
If you are a fan of book clubs, you should know that Apple's Strombo's Lit and Netflix's Netflix Book Club aren't the only book clubs out there. You could also check out Oprah Winfrey's own Oprah Book Club and the book club of the actress Reese Witherspoon, Reese's Book Club.

According to TechCrunch's report, Strombo's Lit won't be replacing the book curation from the Apple Books editors. Instead, the new book club offers another way for Apple Books readers to find new book titles via Strombo's individual book choices.
