Two books will be selected each month as the books of the month 2. Each book will be read, discussed, reviewed etc within a period of 2 weeks (ie 14 days) 3. At least one of the books each month must be an African book (ie written by an author of African origin whether based home or abroad) 4. Only active members are qualified to nominate a book (more than one nomination leads to disqualification) Note: active members are those who take part in the biweekly reviews in the main thread 5.
