A night away from home followed by a day off. I could get used to this...

Wow! Powerful, stark, brutal, brilliant. This #chunkster shares a glimpse of Jamaica in the 60s-70s from multiple perspectives: a ghost, gangsters, journalists, the CIA, and a woman with various identities, following the story to NYC in the 80s. An epic examination of the impact that governments, criminals, and artists can have on a community that is just trying to get by. Dark and upsetting but worth it. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Finally got around to making some food for #Jamaica #FoodAndLit

Chicken brown stew, with rice and peas. It was delicious. And not too spicy despite the copious amounts of scotch bonnet! 😆

Catsandbooks Delicious! 🇯🇲👏🏼 2mo
Texreader I loved this when I got it at a Jamaican restaurant and you‘re right! Not too spicy. 2mo

This is Reggae Music | Lloyd Bradley

To recover from reading about global imperialism, I've turned to music, & these two albums I bought today. Bit of a risk buying unheard two compilations of reggae artists covering songs by Bob Dylan & The Beatles.
The Dylan one is really good, thankfully, & is fairly cohesive as they were specifically recorded for the album. Just starting on the Beatles one, & this is a collection of tracks recorded independently, so🤞🏻

lil1inblue Cool! I'll have to investigate. 2mo
Bookwomble @lil1inblue The Beatles one is more patchy so far. I think the Dylan is very good, but happy to have both in the collection, even if as curiosities 😊 2mo
Bookwomble @lil1inblue I've listened to all of The Beatles cover album now, and while it isn't as consistently good as the Dylan one, it does have this amazing version of "Don't Let Me Down" recorded by Marcia Griffiths in 1969 ❤️ It was worth getting the album for this one track ? https://youtu.be/dtpDmZpjsJE?si=pfKfR2YzR21GgEoh 2mo

TieDyeDude That's fun! I remember listening to Dread Zeppelin a lot on our local rock station growing up; they are a reggae Led Zeppelin cover band with a lead singer who is an Elvis impersonator. 2mo
TrishB I have a full album of just covers of YNWA! When you want to play it 20 times… 2mo
Bookwomble @TieDyeDude I've heard of them, but not listened to them. I'll have to give them a try 😊 2mo
Bookwomble @TrishB I hope your neighbours don't support the Toffees! 😄 2mo

Hello… it‘s me…

It‘s been more than a hot minute since I posted, kind of fell out of the habit this summer. I did have a wonderful summer of reading. Here‘s a round up of August. I‘ll post about a few of my favorite summer reads shortly.

Bookwormjillk Good to “see” you! 2mo
