Katie Couric has introduced her new book club, KCBC (Katie Couric’s Book Club). Speaking to PEOPLE, Couric expressed a desire to disconnect from the digital world. She shared, “I love to read and found keeping up with current events and social media was consuming too much of my time.” Couric hopes to inspire others to join her in this literary journey, engaging her 2.1 million Instagram followers in the process.
She observed, “Many people feel they spend too much time on their phones. It’s an issue for adults as much as teenagers.” Couric aims to help herself and her audience achieve their reading goals with KCBC. Her approach involves selecting and sharing a book each month, hoping readers find it enjoyable and thought-provoking.
