Every February @kozykornerbooksja highlights our local & Caribbean authors and artisans in our store. From 2018 when we opened we thought it was important to feature our local authors especially, and coined it Local Creatives Month. The creativity of our people knows no bounds and they should be celebrated more. Make it a bonding experience and visit a museum or heritage site with the kids and learn more about our culture and then stop by our store to shop for books ๐ This month at Kozy Korner Books you will receive 5% off any local item purchased in the store. #ShopLocal #SupportLocal #ShopKozy #LocalCreativesMonth #kozykornerbooksja #childrenbookstore #JamaicaReads #onelove #localbooksforkids #reggaemonth #blackhistorymonth ๐ค๐๐โฅ๏ธ

๐ฅSizzling New Fiction on Our Shelves! ๐ฅ Fire Rush (@penguinukbooks), @lluidas' debut novel, summons the world of 1970s and 80s British-Caribbean dancehall energy, in Jamaican patois that lilts and ripples. Yamaye, at a crossroads of identity, lives for the frequencies of sound reverberating in dub riddims, carrying her from South London to Bristolโs clubs. When romance slips into her lifeโs liner notes, she soars to meet it, but her dreams are dashed against rocks of hardship more than once. Where will she find her true-true melody, and can Yamaye herself be the one to sing it? A tempestuous, lyrical journey of a book, sixteen years in the making, hereโs a story for lovers, fighters, rockers, and deejays, for resistors and rudebwoys: for everyone whose dreams are big and boundless. Already longlisted for the 2023 @womensprize for Fiction, we canโt wait to see the heights Fire Rush ascends! #FireRush #JacquelineCrooks #JamaicaReads
This week we have Lorraine Aarons, our other co-founder, reading Sandra Campbell-Notice's โMy Caribbean Grandmaโ with her granddaughter, Shower Girl joining in. Thereโs something special about their inter-generational conversations. โWhen Nana reads stories, I love how she puts emotion in her voice and breaks out in Patois.โ #Jamaican #thoseiriekids #jamaicareads #sundaystory #storytime #sandracampbellnotice

Spent a lovely hour Friday night with @shanzlitadventures #fairygang talking about _What Storm, What Thunder_. Shanz asked about the theme of motherhood in the novel and I must admit that this was a less conscious element of the work, though it is threaded through. Writing is a magical process in which some threads are planned and other less so. I'm so happy when readers pick up on aspects of the work that are not obvious to me but make the work richer for them. SARA is Shanz's favorite character in the novel so I read from that section. If you've read _WS, WT_, do you have a favorite character? One you won't soon forget? Any you wish you had heard more from? Let me know! Enjoy the weekend! This was a great start to mine!
