Books and Coffee with Tamikio Tuesday

Good morning everyone! Today is Tuessday in my world! I'm looking at 10:00 am, still grasping my autumn coffee mug from the past, hoping to change it soon for a chat about books and coffee. I've come up with a great idea for more book topic discussions with you and our favorite coffee. Stay tuned to find out what topics I will cover. Could it be Author Hometown Tours? Or Bookish Bookstore & Libraries? What about Literary Cities & Festivals? I would love to share what's going on with books and coffee in my city, Farmington Hills, Michigan. I noticed about three years ago a new coffee shop, which used to a church, opened in Downtown Farmington down the block from where the city held FAB (Farmington Author Book Festival) every year. Unfortunatly, they cancelled the festival for 2025 and 2026. Hopefuly the festival will resume in 2027. But, I'm looking forward to visiting the new coffee shop called Blue Hat Coffee on the corner of Farmington and Grand River. Let's chat about it!

Tamikio's Favorite Coffee Mug Collection

Happy Sunday! I'm here to share some of my favorite bookish mugs, along with the bookmarks associated. These are some beautiful mugs I purchased from Amazon. com in 2023. Did I mention that I'm a coffee mug collector, too? Yeah, I sure am, but it's all about books! Oh, I plan to never drink out of the mugs. They are classy, bookish collectibles for my personal enjoyment. I haven't checked Amazon.com lately for more bookish mugs on literature written by historical authors. My book private world can't get any better than this!
