How To Rekindle Your Love For Reading
Recently I wrote an article for The Guardian Newspaper here in Trinidad and Tobago. In it I spoke about how to rekindle your love for reading. Since launching BookOfCinz, I have met a lot of persons and their major feedback to me is, “I used to love reading, I don’t know what happened and when […]
September Wrap Up
In September I actively took part in @anovelfamily’s #ReadWhatYouOwn challenge. The challenge was put forward on Bookstagram for readers to read the books they currently own during the month of September. While I was preparing for the challenge, I realized I had at least 20 books that I haven’t read on my shelf. My goal […]
August Wrap-up
I had the biggest reading slum to date during the month of August. I know what you are thinking, “you call reading 16 books in a month a reading slum? Get out of here!” Seriously though, I spent so much of my free time watching TV Shows, instead I am almost sure I could have […]
July Wrap-Up
This month I read a whopping 7,222 pages—that’s 22 books, 5 of which were solid 5-star reads. That leaves of course many that were underwhelming but also includes books that are my favorite re-reads. My standout books were “Nearing Home: Life, Faith and Finishing Well” by Billy Graham. This read really made me start thinking […]
Favorite Books For The First Half of 2018
At the outset of 2018, I set a not-so-ambitious goal to read 100 books this year. Yes, I know. That’s more than even Bill Gates reads per year. I set a low target just in case my year gets hectic or helter-skelter and I can’t meet it. But, guess what? As of July I have […]
What I learned about myself when I wrote out all the books I’ve ever read
A month ago www.goodreads.com went down for maintenance for over two hours and I had a bit of a breakdown. It felt as if all the books I read were being held ransom. Goodreads is my go too site for everything book. Before I start reading a book I visit Goodreads, before I buy a […]
June 2018 Wrap Up
For the month of June I thoroughly enjoyed my book journey. I explored a number of memoirs, violent novels and themes surrounding crime and hardships. In the end, that amounted to 21 books. In an effort to not overwhelm myself I made sure to balance these reads with great non-fiction and light reads. A post […]
New Orleans, USA
[rl_gallery id=”363″] I never had New Orleans on my list of places to go maybe that is why this entire trip was overall so surprising and magical for me. My friends and I decided we wanted to do a Friend-cation, to a place we’ve all never visited, somewhere that would be fun and filled with […]
Sandy Island, Grenada
[rl_gallery id=”417″] Sandy Island is a small island off the coast of Carriacou, if you are a strong swimmer you could actually swim from Carriacou to Sandy Island, but I would not recommend it. It is a short 6min boat ride to this beautiful deserted island. The beach is the perfect shade of azure blue. […]
