Full List of Books We Have Read for OSS (Including Links)

[Jo, Our Shared Shelf Moderator]

Hi Everyone,
I see a lot of people asking on here and on the social media channels for a list of ALL of the books we have read together in Our Shared Shelf.

So, below I have complied a full list of the books (starting with the first book) and have included a link for each to the book announcement, a link to the discussion topics (for those catching up with older books) and a link to any interviews with the authors of the books.
I hope you find this useful :) If you see any mistakes or broken links please let me know!

In Jan. 2020 Our Shared Shelf paused to reflect on Emma Watson's note that she was moving on to other activities outside of this book club. You can read her note here. OSS is officially dormant. All books after this date with the title "Member Selected" were not carefully curated by Emma Watson nor her team. They were chosen via poll by members of OSS instead.
