Poll

I vote for Sundowners because I just bought the book to read it anyways

We have a tie so far and voting ends tonight!

When Rain Clouds Gather by Bessie Head 3 votes, and
The Longest March by Fred Khumalo 3 votes

You can now "Rent" When Rain Clouds for the kindle app for $2.19 a month; not for the actual kindle device unfortunately (so far). Thriftbooks.com has "good" paper copies for $5.28 incl. shipping.

For The Longest March I have tried 5 libraries and 6 bookseller sites in the U. S. and can't find any available. It was only published a year ago, so perhaps in another year more copies will be available. bookdepository has the largest number of his other books available (5) of the sellers I checked. If it is the winner I will probably read one of his other books as a substitute, probably Dancing the Death Drill.

Well It's a tie - I guess we'll have two books for Nov/Dec!

But I think there are about ten hours left according to the listed time (PDT= US Pacific Daylight Time, eg California).

Here it would be 3:00 A.M. on October 25th.

Looks like we had a tiebreaker vote in the final hours for When Rain Clouds Gather.
I enjoyed her book of stories The Collector of Treasures.

Maybe next time for Sundowners!

Ah, timezones... Goodreads is not in mine, and it's hard to start the polling unless I choose 'their' timezone. Anyway: we have a winner!!

I thought I already read When Rain Clouds Gather, but I mistook it for The Collectors of Treasures. Looking forward to another Bessie Head read!

I ordered my copy of When Rain Clouds Gather. Perhaps next time I will nominate Khumalo's Dancing the Death Drill now that it's "on my radar".
