My name is Shelly-Ann but most people know me as Karamanti, a dancehall recording artist based in Kingston, Jamaica. What supporters of my music may not know about me is that in addition to making music I also spend a significant amount of time reading.
I started reading when I was in high school – John Rennie (Montreal, Quebec) – after studying black history and being told that slave holders thought that the best way to hide anything from ‘colored folks’ was to put it in a book. Since then I have committed to reading every single day. Though I do enjoy a really good fiction my preference is non-fiction; self-help, fitness, diet/food, spiritual, religion, history, business etc. are some of my favorite. I started this book club to keep track of the hundreds of books I have read over the years. My hope is to add all of them to this platform along with a brief review. This will obviously take some time so please be patient. |
