The Great American Read has announced exciting new details regarding upcoming episodes of the series!
The first episode of The Great American Read premiered in May 2018, and the series will return September 11, 2018, airing subsequent Tuesdays through October 16.
It all begins with a “Fall Kick-Off” episode, reintroducing viewers to what The Great American Read is all about — with the help of a number of special guests, including authors, actors, musicians, political figures, athletes, and more. After that, each week’s episode will feature a different literary theme, and books related to that theme will be discussed, also with the help of special guests.
See below for more information on air dates, episode themes, and which books will be discussed on which evenings. (And to view which guest stars are featured in each episode, click here>>.)
