# Playmate Book Clubs Holly Madison's Website Recommends One Novel Per Month By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-08-08 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holly-madison-book-club References: [hollymadison](http://hollymadison.com/bookclub) You may not think that Playmate bunnies read, but the Holly Madison Book Club would prove you wrong. Each month, Hugh Hefner's former #1 girlfriend recommends a novel for her fans to read. This month, according to the Holly Madison Book Club website, it's "Madonna: Like an Icon" by Lucy O'Brien. I think it's great that Holly Madison has chosen to showcase her intelligent side; on 'The Girls Next Door,' it always seemed to be Bridget Marquardt who got the smart girl treatment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Playmate Book Clubs:** Opportunity for adult entertainment industry to offer curated book clubs to its audience. - **Monthly Book Recommendations:** Opportunity for online platforms to provide monthly book recommendations to engage and grow their user base. - **Celebrity Book Clubs:** Opportunity for celebrities to launch book clubs and connect with their fans through shared reading experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment Industry:** The entertainment industry has room for disruptive innovation through the integration of book clubs with their existing offerings. - **Online Platforms:** Online platforms can disrupt the traditional book market by providing curated monthly book recommendations for their users. - **Celebrity Influencer:** Celebrities can disrupt the publishing industry by launching their own book clubs and recommending books to their fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-Version Book Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charmed-and-bound-monthly-book-club.md) - [Retailer Book Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walmart-book-club.md) - [Bestseller Book Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/literati.md) - [Next-Gen Book Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnie-reads.md) - [Relaunched NSFW Digital Publications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playboy-magazine-1.md) - [Personalized Book Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aardvark-book-club.md) - [Curated Book Subscription Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-of-the-month.md) - [Literary Subscription Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buffys-book-club.md) - [Book Matchmaking Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookwish.md)
