Amerie Launches Inclusive Celebrity Book Club

MANHATTAN, N.Y. - EntSun -- Amerie, New York Times bestselling author and Grammy-nominated recording artist, has launched Amerie's Book Club today with her inaugural selection, Ta-Nehisi Coates's The Water Dancer. Committed to highlighting diverse and unique voices, the new celebrity book club will be driven by a schedule of social media moments throughout each month on YouTube and Instagram, bringing her nearly 600,000 followers into her reading world.
