Buckle up, book lovers — we’re going full Hollywood this week in an extended edition of Book Lounge! Joe kicks things off with the iconic Louis Sachar, who spills delightful behind-the-scenes tea about writing the Holes screenplay, hanging out on set, and the surreal experience of getting residual checks for his cameo.  
Then Danielle Valentine pops in to chat about Delicate Condition and its evolution into American Horror Story: Delicate.  
For the grand finale, Joe is joined by Jananie K. Velu and Meara for a joyfully nerdy celebration of book-to-screen adaptations. 
It’s big. It’s bookish. It’s cinematic. And it’s a blast.
