If you’re currently touring London, you should keep an eye for hidden copies of “Mom & Me & Mom.”
Emma Watson has been busy these past few days concealing 100 copies of Maya Angelou’s novel, the November choice for her online book club “Our Shared Shelf.” To make this wish come true, the “Beauty and the Beast” actress, 26, teamed up with Books on the Underground, a charity group that drops books around London’s transit stops.
Her bewitching hide-and-seek was chronicled on Instagram and she even slipped a handwritten letter to the lucky bookworms who would obtain the hidden book gems.
Several commuters were spellbound by Watson’s literary charm as they got the chance to grab a copy of the book. Two of them even shared their joy of having a free novel with Watson’s personal note on social media.

In her blog post on Our Shared Shelf’s page on Oct. 17, Watson had a compelling reason why she picked the autobiography as her “favorite.” “Vivian Baxter, who abandoned Angelou when she was a child and it portrays their complicated relationship. The story is about the special connection between mother and child; both women found a way to move on and form a profound and enduring bond of love and support,” she wrote.
Books on the Underground was launched in 2012 and began leaving 150 novels across train stations every week. Gianna Francesca Catolico
