Eclectic taste in music (from classic rock to soca). Reader of smut books in between non-fictions (it is called balance). Truth or dare, it is likely to be dare because my friends know most of my truth. Whisky sour, our rum, our coffee (I don't care what my Colombian friend says), good food, my handful of friends and sunny day at the beach, and I am good. Then there are other things that brings me joy but that's my business.

Can I tell you that I am still new at this but I am in good hands.
Loving the adventures with my Daddy.

He knows, and that is all that matters.

Coffee and jigsaw puzzles. My books are side eyeing me but I promise to caress their pages soon... after exams.

Revisiting books written by Caribbean authors.
What I love about Caribbean writers is the flavour to their storytelling. It is as if their sentences were washed with coconut water and then dip in rum. They went through the rituals of drumming and chanting, and blessed by the ancestors. There is the feeling that the sentences were written and edited over coffee, mint or cocoa 'tea' in the morning and twice sweetened with approval over sweet potato pudding served after a Sunday dinner.
So when it eventually reaches the readers, and with every turning page, the readers say, "Aye, this is Caribbean."
