BookOfCinz Book Club is going into its seventh year in 2025. For the last six years we have been meeting in person in Trinidad and Tobago and online so we can have people from all over the world joining. In 2023 we started reading Caribbean and African male authors. We do continue to read and celebrate Women- Caribbean Women, Women of Caribbean heritage, Black Women and Women of Colour.
In 2018 I decided to start BookOfCinz Book Club to meet and engage with Readers. I read a lot, but getting to sit and discuss one book with a group of persons, that experience in and of itself is unmatched. For the last five years we have been meeting both offline and online to facilitate everyone outside of Trinidad and Tobago.
Since the start of the Book Club, we have seen over 1,000 unique Book Clubbers. We have had Book Clubbers from all over the Caribbean, the US, UK, Europe, Africa and as far as India. For 2025 we will continue to meet and read books that moves us, that gets under our skins and stay there, books we cannot shut up about.
I do hope you make the time to Read, read More, read Widely and READ CARIBBEAN in 2025.
The book club is open to readers around the World. If you want to join please sign up here. Once you sign up, you will receive a newsletter that details our current and upcoming reads along with our meeting times. All you have to do is read the book and show up at the meeting ready to talk about the books.
There are two meeting times for Book Club: Readers in Trinidad and Tobago, we meet the last Wednesday of each month. We generally meet at UpperCrust in St. James for 5:00pm. All information will be sent the week before the meeting. For Readers outside of Trinidad and Tobago we meet the last Tuesday of each month online via Google Meet at 6:00pm Trinidad and Tobago time.
An email will be going the week before the meeting as a reminder and it will contain the meeting times and links. We recommend that you read the book but if you were only able to get through some, still show up and let us know why. If you are on StoryGraph, join the message board and keep us updated on your reading. This is generally a very chill Book Club, please be respectful of others.
Here are the books we will be reading:
