Emma Roberts nearly runs into former President Bill Clinton as pair both shop in the SAME bookstore in The Hamptons
Emma Roberts and former President Bill Clinton are both looking for their next summer read.
The duo were spotted shopping at the same bookstore in the Hamptons on Thursday.
Emma, 32, came out of the shop with two iced drinks, two tote bags and a gray sweater slung over her shoulder.
The American Horror Story star looked fabulous in a black crew neck tank top, animal print biker shorts and retro white sunglasses.
Her pedicured feet were slipped into Birkenstock sandals and her hair was tied up in a messy bun with a shiny clip.

Pageturner: Dressed in a down jacket and fish-print top, the former president seemed fascinated by a selection of books neatly piled up in the store — holding a copy for Ann Patchett’s novel Tom Lake
She was accompanied by her boyfriend, Cody John.
As Emma left the store, Bill, 77, who served as US president from 1993 to 2001, could be seen searching for books in the background.
Dressed in a down jacket and fish print top, the former president seemed fascinated by the selection of books neatly piled up in the store.
He held a copy of Ann Patchett’s novel, Tom Lake, described as “a meditation on youthful love, marital love, and the life parents led before their children were born.”
The former politician was carrying the shopping bag as he left the store, waving and smiling kindly.
In a departure from the suits he often wore in the White House, he opted for casual pants and fuchsia-colored Nike sneakers.
Emma has her own book club, Belletrist, which she runs on Instagram with her best friend Karah Preiss.

The club started in 2017 – when Emma was just 26 – and has since selected over 75 books, including My Husband by Maud Ventura, The Guest by Emma Cline and What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez by Claire Jimenez.
Perhaps following in Reese Witherspoon’s footsteps, in 2019 Emma and Karah transformed Belletrist Book Club into a production company called Belletrist Productions.
They have since produced two hit shows: First Kill (on Netflix) and Tell Me Lies (on Hulu).
They say many more are in development.

When Emma is not enjoying a page turner, she is busy with her blossoming acting career.
Up next, fans can see her opposite Kim Kardashian in the upcoming episode of American Horror Story.
The 13th season of the FX horror anthology series premieres September 20 and is an adaptation of Danielle Valentine’s horror novel Delicate Condition.
The plot follows Anna (Roberts), an actress who has had multiple IVF treatments and begins to become paranoid as mysterious forces prevent her from getting pregnant.
She does eventually have a child, but the pregnancy ends in what doctors tell her is a miscarriage. However, she can still feel her baby growing as her body continues to show signs of pregnancy.
