[close] We are women reading women.

[close] "Let's Read..." will meet once a month and discuss a book chosen by you. We want to create the best reading club experience and warmly welcome your book suggestions. We predominantly read Black Books (Authors or topics of interest to the Black community) and books that promote discussion "Let's Read..."meets on the 3rd Monday of every month. ★ www.facebook.com/groups/124549724268206/ ★ www.goodreads.com/group/show/157707-let-s-read ★ lets_read@btinternet.com

[close] In keeping with tradition but also incorporating a modern approach, Seaside Book Nook will ultimately become a hybrid online bookshop. You will be able to order books and ebooks online through our website. We will also be offering local USVI events and inviting book lovers to join us to talk about books, buy books from our mobile, as well as other exciting events to keep the legacy of Dockside Bookshop alive in our community. As a lover and voracious reader of Caribbean literature and nonfiction, having bought most of my collection at Dockside Bookshop over the years, we will offer a large selection of Caribbean books, as well as classic literature, nonfiction, science fiction, business, reference, and other genres. In the meantime, I am starting this online book club group to gather together booklovers, not only in the Caribbean and the USVI, but worldwide. Please join us!

[close] This is group is mainly aimed at those from the Caribbean Diaspora, but it is open to everyone. I have spoken to many in the diaspora who feel disconnected from their roots or who find that they don't know much about the history of their islands and the origins of Caribbean culture. I have started to try and correct that for myself, through reading, and I figured there must be others out there doing the same. So here is a space for us to come together as we learn. We can recommend and discuss the books that we are reading or want to read. The books can be non-fiction or fiction. There's lots to learn from the history genre, but fiction books that are set in the Caribbean, have Caribbean characters or deal with topics related to the diaspora are fair game here. If you're not from the diaspora but are interested in our history then you are very welcome here.
