☕📚 THE READER’S DAILY BREW

Saturday, September 12, 2026

Good morning, Reading Room! 🌻

Your weekend brew is ready, so grab your coffee and let’s see what’s happening around Coffee with the Characters LIVE.

☕ TODAY AT THE COFFEE TABLE

There are no LIVE interviews scheduled today, which makes this the perfect day to slow down, catch a replay, discover an author you may have missed, or finally open that book that’s been sitting on your TBR. 👀📚

And we officially closed out something pretty special yesterday:

🌻 All 20 of our Founding Season authors have now taken their seats at the Coffee Table.

Those interviews helped build the foundation for everything happening in Chapter 2, and their conversations are still available for readers to discover.

So if you missed one? This weekend is a mighty good time to go exploring. ☕❤️

🎙️ NEXT AT THE COFFEE TABLE

Our next LIVE interview is coming Monday!

🎙️ Coffee with the Characters LIVE

Come meet the author, step inside the story, and see what happens when the characters get their turn at the mic. 👀🎤

📚 SEPTEMBER = READER ENGAGEMENT MONTH

All month long, we’re celebrating the people who help stories travel from one reader to the next — YOU.

Our 5Rs of Reader Engagement are:

📖 READ something new

⭐ REVIEW something you’ve enjoyed

🗣️ RECOMMEND a book to someone else

📲 REPOST an author or book you want others to discover

🔄 RETURN and continue supporting the stories and authors you’ve found

You don’t have to do all five today.

Just pick one. ❤️
