The Emmy Nomination Book Pairings You've Been Waiting For
The Emmy nominations have arrived, and the lineup is genuinely exciting. The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards will celebrate television's finest achievements this year, with several expected favorites making the cut.
With the ceremony still months away in September, there's plenty of time to dive into great reading. We've curated a collection of book recommendations that pair perfectly with this year's nominated shows, giving you the perfect way to bridge the gap between now and awards night.
Outstanding Drama Series
The White Lotus (HBO Max)
Pair with Murder of the JuJube Candy Heiress
Similar to the White Lotus, this book dives into the murder of a rich heiress, looking deeply at a list of very well-dressed suspects in an immaculate resort-style hotel.
The Diplomat (Netflix)
Pair with Hidden History of Tennessee Politics
Pull back the curtain of politics in the Volunteer state just like Kerri Russell did in The Diplomat.
Outstanding Comedy Series
The Studio (Apple TV)
Pair with Behind the Scenes in Los Angeles
Seth Rogan takes us on an insider journey to Hollywood, so why not take a private tour with author Adam Papagan to look at the real LA?
Abbot Elementary School (Hulu)
Pair with The Nile Swim Club of Yeadon
Both Abbott and the Nile Swim Club are in Philadelphia but that's not where the similarities stop.
Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series
The Penguin (HBO Max)
Pair with Minnesota's Most Notorious Mobster
An insider look at famous mob bosses and how they came to be - the Penguin from DC Comics and the notorious Kid Cann.
Outstanding Television Movie
The Gorge (Apple TV)
Pair with Flaming Gorge Dam
While Flaming Gorge Dam doesn't have the high stakes, action-packed theatrics as The Gorge, it does have some beautiful imagery of an incredible gorge and dam.
Outstanding Reality Competition Program
Top Chef (Bravo)
Pair with Lord Honey
Challenge yourself like you're on Top Chef with this Southern cookbook by Chef Jason Smith (who was on a different reality show, Amazon Prime's The Goat).
We will all be waiting for Award night, but at least we have something to read until then!
