Apple today announced that Oprah’s Book Club is today launching inside Apple Books, and an Apple TV+ show of the same name will be available starting November 1st.
The exclusive TV series will feature interviews with authors of the featured books, with new episodes released every two months.
It seems like just yesterday that Oprah announced her last Oprah's Book Club Pick in 2018: Michelle Obama's best-selling memoir, Becoming. And while it could be difficult to follow former first lady of the United States, we think Lady O's latest choice page-turner—her 81st ever selection, and her first as part of her new book club iteration with Apple—is the perfect follow-up.

So Yahoo Mail now offers a number of different views that should help you find stuff without searching, by focusing on specific types of content from your inbox.
