This is the time where we celebrate Caribbean literature and highlight Caribbean authors. For the next 30 days I will be giving you 30 Caribbean Book Recommendations!

Let's read, read more, read widely and READ CARIBBEAN!

“If your only experience of literary festivals are polite, well-mannered affairs inside tents in the British countryside, @calabashfest, held on Jamaica’s Treasure Beach, hits differently.”

A must read by Liv Little in today’s @guardian

Started a Bookstagram page and met these beautiful ladies through books.

We met up in London three years ago and kept in touch. Now, here we are in Trinidad 🇹🇹 I get to show them around my home... ❤️

I really love some parts of the Internet.
