Oprah’s Book Club was one of everyone’s favorite parts of her talk show, and she’s bringing it back on Apple TV+ this fall. The TV legend recently revealed more information about this highly-anticipated project, including the name of the first book she’ll be discussing on the show.

Winfrey announced her first pick during a recent appearance on CBS This Morning and said she decided to go with The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The story centers on the evil of enslavement in America, and Oprah described it as one of the best books she ever read.

The Book Club revival is coming to Apple TV+ on November 1st when this streaming service officially launches. New episodes will be released once in two months, giving viewers enough time to read new titles being discussed.

“I am who I am today because of the experience of learning to read at an early age. Reading opened up a whole world for me beyond the red dirt road and my grandmother’s porch in Mississippi. I want to do that for everybody,” said Oprah Winfrey in a press release.
