Buick is proud to announce a first-of-its-kind collaboration with Hello Sunshine, the media company founded by Reese Witherspoon that’s changing the narrative for women–and that’s home to Reese’s Book Club. Together, we’ve created the Reese’s Book Club In-Vehicle App,† powered by Audiobooks.com. The available app features book recommendations and a curated set of podcasts that put women at the center of the story. These selections are now available to stream exclusively in properly equipped 2020 Encore GX models.
Whether you’re curled up on the couch or listening behind the wheel on a long road trip, enticing stories from fresh voices can change your perspective. Reese’s Book Club has driven the discovery of new talent and launched LitUp by Reese's Book Club, a fellowship that provides five emerging writers with the resources to tell and publish their stories. Underrepresented women writers will be supported to share their craft—and Buick looks forward to being their first audience.
