About
Hello,
My name is Cindy, I am a Jamaican girl living in Trinidad & Tobago who is thoroughly enjoying island life. I started the BookOfCinz platform to encourage people to Read, read More, read Widely, and Read Caribbean. Since starting BookOfCinz in 2018 I have launched a Book Club that meets monthly online and in-person. I also have a free BookOfCinz Library open to persons living in Trinidad. I also started the Read Caribbean challenge where I actively create awareness for Caribbean authors and their work, throughout the year but especially during June which is Caribbean Heritage Month.
This blog will feature all the books I have read, will read or may never get around to reading. I love reading and I equally enjoy getting people excited about reading so I will have book recommendations, reviews and monthly wrap-ups. I also want to share my travel adventures and my life here in the Caribbean so stop by sometime, and even if you don’t…at least read a book!
I hope this blog will encourage you to read, read more, read widely and Read Caribbean.
