Here you can nominate any word that is proudly South African for us to read in January.

Then we take the word we voted on and read a book starting with a letter in the word, or a author's name/surname that starts with the letter.

For example:

Z -
U - Uglies
L - Lover Eternal
U -

Nominations will be open until the 10th of January.

Yes, i mean how many times do you come accross a word like that, unless you're reading all the really old afrikaans story's (Which I must confess I have read a few of)
