For this month we are reading: BASA. Lets get started!

Use the books you finish in June to fill out the word, or both, using the first letter of the first word in the title (excluding 'the', 'a' or 'an') or the first letter of the author's name, middle name or surname.

Good luck everyone!

What did you think of Stones from the River? It looks interesting.

I enjoyed it a lot. When I finished I had basically one thought in my head..."such beautiful writing", even though it dealt with such an horrific period in global history. You should try and get a copy, it is well worth it.

Wayne Jordaan | 825 comments BASA (the colour white in Tshivenda) done. A very good read from Ursula Hegi, two good reads from Cara Black and Sun Shuyun (honest non-judgmental commentary on Tibet) and a sombre Cold War read from John Le Carre
