Jan - Feb Book of the Month (Anything)

[Janice]

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

You can nominate any book you want!

Nominations will be open until the 10th of Dec.

*** Can you host the discussion if your nomination is chosen? ***

To be a discussion Host you are agreeing to:
- read the book you nominated at the beginning of the month, if you haven't already read it.
- start the discussion in both the spoiler and spoiler-free threads by posting your thoughts and a few simple questions for readers to think/talk about
- inform the group if you're unable to host the discussion or will only be reading the book later in the month.

You may also offer to be the Host for someone else's nomination.

Authors and publishers may NOT nominate their own books for monthly discussions. Similarly, no one is permitted to rig the polls by inviting others or creating sockpuppets to join the group and vote for a book/author. Such votes will be disregarded and the book/author in question may be removed from the poll entirely.

Please tell us why you are nominating a certain book/author or why you want to read the book/author.

I nominate: Born a Crime and Other Stories by Trevor Noah



I am a fan of Noah's stand-up comedy.

[Sandra]

Is this book as funny as his stand-up comedy? I've been contemplating buying it but wonder whether the essence of Trevor will be as well portrayed in written form.

[Janice]

I haven't read it yet but I hope so.

[Carolien]

I listened to an interview with him about the book recently. It's a serious memoir and although he brings his comedy to it, it basically looks at how a child of mixed parentage grew up under the laws of apartheid. I'd like to read it.

I nominate Exhibit A.

If anybody is doing Mishmash, it counts for the task that requires a book published in June.
