Harry Potter star and former Headington School pupil Emma Watson has announced the name of her new feminist book club - 'Our Shared Shelf.'
The 25-year-old asked her 20.4 million Twitter followers yesterday to brainstorm names.
Hi Team, ❤️ I want to start a feminist book club but so far have only brainstormed 'Feminist Book Club' and 'Emma Watson Book Club'.
