The 69th Emmy Awards will air on September 17th and we are so excited to see all our favorites on the red carpet! To celebrate the Emmys, BookTrib.com will feature a piece each day with an Emmy spin.

Today’s feature is about classic books that were turned into award winning movies. Later this week we will have pieces on books that will give you ideas and tips on how to throw an epic Emmy night party and on Emmy firsts.  All of this will lead up to an exclusive BookTrib interview on Friday with dancer and author Marjorie Goodson, whose father Mark Goodson won the Emmy’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Daytime Television in 1990.  Marjorie’s book MG features 153 images that demonstrate how, at any age, the body can be beautiful. You won’t want to miss it.

Emmy week is already underway in Hollywood with a number of early awards handed out. The big event on Sunday will air on CBS at 8 pm EST.  For a full list of nominees and winners, view the Emmys website.  You can also view a recap of winners in The Creative Emmys.
