Hey Lovers of Goooood Literature!

Wishing you all the very best for the New Year!

Just got the following message from the Caribbean Literature Book Club, Date With a Book. They've got some really interesting titles lined up for 2010.
Joining in, reading along and sharing in the discussions are a great way to escape the mundane world, and explore the diverse cultural expressions of the African diaspora.
You'll find contact information for Marcia Mayne, the founder of the group at the bottom of this post.
We be readin' n' writin'! Enjoy!
