Dakota Johnson is back for another year of her book club.
The actress and producer, 36, launched her book club through her TeaTime Pictures entertainment company in 2024. Every month, TeaTime Book Club welcomes readers with a new selection announcement on Instagram, along with bonus content, like curated lists of movies and music that match the book’s vibe. In the past, Johnson has chosen new releases, and revisited some of her own personal favorite reads, too.
“I love reading,” Johnson said in a 2025 interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers. “We also try to option books that we love to make them movies, and so we started a book club. We have just really good taste in books.”
See all of Johnson’s 2026 book club picks, so far, below.
