Jenny (Reading Envy) (readingenvy) | 118 comments We need to do some planning. Group - ready!

Which books would you like to nominate for Zambia, the country for May/June?

We will have to get a moderator to create the poll but surely we can assemble a cast of potential reads!

I've come across few choices for Zambia, so looking forward to hearing about more options :) But I had this lined up: Dominic Mulaisho The Smoke That Thunders

No worries Sofia - the app is weirdly useless for many things IMO ;)

Ok - we should probably get a poll up asap, so we can get started on the reading :)
Any last minute suggestions? Now is the time!
