2017 - Great African Reads is up and running again!

[Anetq, Tour Operator & Guide]

After a bit of a rest (there had been much travelling across Africa) the group is now once again up for more great african reads!

If you want to join the Tour D'Afrique, we are heading to Zambia this May/June - The poll is up until the 10th of May (and it's possible to add book suggestions in the poll)

But until then we are picking up the trail from where the group left of - in Tanzania! The pick was Desertion by Abdulrazak Gurnah. So the reading has started and will run throughout June. Join the discussion here:

Hi Anetq... one suggestion is sending an email to all members for those who may have stopped checking in. Thank you for making it all go!

Mail is sent! And allow me to thank my co-Mods for a lot of housekeeping, while I have been getting the tour back on track and setting up discussions, they have been hard at work reorganising the group bookshelves, and archiving old discussion folders. We have also been discussing a new Big Read/comtemporaty lit read - so join the discussion here
to pick out a new theme to read alongside the Tour.

We are currently reading two books:Desertion by Abdulrazak Gurnah (Tanzania)
