SA Book & Challenge Lovers discussion

One Nomination per person (2 if you really can't decide).

The book you nominate can be anything about SA, it can be a South African author, it can be about anything African. The story can be set in Egypt even. Anything African themed or with a African themed cover/title.

Nominations will be open until the 10th of October

J.R.R. Tolkien was born in South Africa so i nominate 2 of his books:


* The Hobbit Or There and Back Again
* The Fellowship of the Ring

I don't know if this counts...I'm just finishing Barbara Kingsolver's "The Poisonwood Bible" & loving it! It takes place in Africa during the struggle for Congolese independence. Author is American though. Anyway....if it counts I recommend it for November. If not, I just recommend it! Haha ;-)

But Fellowship sounds good too... :-)

The Poisonwood Bible counts :)

I still like the look of Moxyland by Lauren Beukes :D

Fuse by SA Partridge... A must read awesome awesome book!

Ooh, yes Moxyland :D

Lauren's unite! hehe

Hi Lu - how about this book: Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood by Alexandra Fuller

Sounds good :)

Moxyland! Fellowship of the Ring! Moxyland! Fellowship of the Ring! Moxyland! Fellowship of the Ring!

*sighs* I can't decide :)

Jade and the Serpent's Circle is a book set in the Cradle of Humankind and written by a South African author, Maggie Fikkert.
