Following the success of the two recommended reading lists she released during the pandemic, the Duchess of Cornwall has launched a new literary project designed to celebrate books and their creators. With "The Duchess of Cornwall's Reading Room," Camilla will regularly release new book selections in groups of four.

“To me, reading is a great adventure. I’ve loved it since I was very small and I’d love everybody else to enjoy it as much as I do,” she recently explained. “You can escape and you can travel and you can laugh and you can cry. There’s every kind of emotion that humans experience in a book.” Since releasing her previous reading lists, the Duchess noted that she's heard from people "all over the world" about books and reading—something she says has been "a lovely way of communicating."

Below, every book that's earned the Duchess's Reading Room seal of approval thus far.

To kick off the initiative at the end of December 2020, the Duchess decided to highlight Charlie Mackesy's The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse. "Warm, funny, profoundly moving and beautifully illustrated, this charming book leaves you feeling better about the world," she wrote in her endorsement.

The Mirror & the Light

"Well worth the wait for the stunning conclusion to her brilliant Wolf Hall trilogy, depicting the final stages of Thomas Cromwell's dramatic rise and fall in the court of Henry VIII," Camilla writes.

Where the Crawdads Sing

Camilla also selected the bestseller Where the Crawdads Sing—a book about a reclusive young woman living in coastal North Carolina, who finds herself at the center of a murder investigation—in her first round of picks. The royal is in good company: Reese Witherspoon also selected the novel for her book club, and is currently working to adapt it for the big screen.

Restless

The Duchess previously highlighted Restless in her first-ever reading recommendation list, released last April during the U.K.'s first COVID-19 lockdown. "A wartime thriller featuring a resourceful woman in grave danger... a great read," she said of Boyd's novel.

The Architect's Apprentice

Another novel Camilla previously included in her "Lockdown Reading List," The Architect's Apprentice is set in Istanbul at the height of the Ottoman empire. The Duchess calls it "a magical, colorful tale."
