Hi guys,
Getting back on track...even though I am slow to get things going, I can at least say there is no shortage of good reads happening around here!

If you are new, welcome to our group! Please do stop by to introduce yourself in our welcome thread

Here is what is happening in October.

Tour d'Afrique

We are visiting Somalia through October on our Tour d'Afrique. From a Crooked Rib is our official selection and you can join the discussion here. Side Reads are also a possibility and I'm happy to set up threads for those if anyone wants to read extra or instead of the official read.

Our last stop for 2015 takes us to South Africa. Please visit this suggestion thread to recommend books for the upcoming poll.

Nigeria in 2015

We need to select an author to feature this month. Please vote here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1...

Contemporary Literature
We also need to select a group read for our contemporary literature project. This month we have books written by women to choose from. Please vote here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1...

Big Read

Sadly, our Big Read seems to be a dud this year, but if you are reading the selection, please help us get a discussion going! Threads are organized by chapter; feel free to start anywhere

The Future

2015 is almost gone. 2016 will be here before we know it. What do you want to see happen in this group next year? Please share ideas with us.

Thank you and happy reading!

Hello Everyone. I want to introduce myself. I'm Monalisa Jackson and I'm excited to be part of this group. I plan to start reading this month's selection right away. I can't wait to talk about it with you.
