AFRICAN READING CHALLENGE for 2015
Last year witnessed a major move for me and changed my reading habits. I only read 10 African books last year. Hopefully I will read more in 2016.
Thanks to Kinna and all those who have contributed recommendations to this challenge. I count on you to guide me whether I read many African books or few.
BOOKS READ 2015 (Several of these included other countries in addition to Africa.)
None to Accompany Me, by Nadine Gordimer.
The Kindness of Enemies, by Leila Aboulela.

Me, you, and books 
I don’t do challenges any more, but as in 2015 I will read books from Africa for sure, and will be interested as always to see what you think of the ones you choose. Top of my list for 2016 is Bessie Head’s A Question of Power…
Wow, what a fantastic reading list. I hope you enjoyed the challenge. I’ll refer 2016 participants to this post, if you don’t mind. I have envy — Aboulela’s new book. I have Dust on my shelf and will get to it this year. I’m sitting here smiling, happy that you do this Challenge.
Thanks. I depend on you and the Africa Reading challenge to let me know about African books. Keep up the good work.
