I'll be reading Kamerun ! Une guerre cachée aux origines de la Françafrique, 1948-1971. I am a bit behind as my August and September books (The Shining Girls and Awu's Story: A Novel) are still somewhere on a boat between Abidjan and Antwerp...

I will aim to read Murambi, The Book of Bones by Boubacar Boris Diop in December. I am a bit behind with this challenge but aim to finish a couple of my unread monthly picks by the end of December. My November book was supposed to be Down Second Avenue: Growing Up in a South African Ghetto by Ezekiel Mphahlele. If I don't get to this one in 2023, I'll aim to finish it in my January holidays.

Oh good question - I wonder if Diane is up for it again?

This is my favourite challenge but I didn’t partake in 2024 due to life getting in the way. I’d be keen to participate in 2025 if it will be running.
