Book-Related Things

I demand a local spot emulate this San Antonio late night readers lounge immediately.

Onscreen Things

Bridgerton casts Yerin Ha as Benedict’s season 4 love interest.

Father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy will be co-hosting the Emmys, which sounds delightful.

Matt Bomer talks about Fellow Travelers and his Emmy-nominated role in said series.
