Hiya book lovers With Christmas being just around the corner, I thought I’d highlight some South African reads that should go on your TBR pile. We have so many phenomenal SA authors that deserve to be celebrated , and because this list will be an extensive one, I am splitting this post and making it a series. I know it won’t be possible to include every single South African author, but I am going to try to highlight books from every genre and make it as diverse as possible (so, with respect, please don’t ask me why so and so isn’t on the list – there’s more to come). First up: 1. Sing Down the Stars by Nerine Dorman A book I recently received for review ( thanks you NB publishers ) and am super excited about diving into is Sing Down the Stars. I was first introduced to Nerine’s writing years ago, when I read one of her first books, What Sweet Music They Make (Would 100% still love to see more of that).

In today’s book spotlight - with thanks to Rock star book tours - it’s an absolute delight to feature Rae Carson’s Walk on Earth a Stranger!
Happy book birthday Rae! I don’t know about you, but when I first came across this book, I immediately fell in love with the title.
Never mind that I had no clue what it was about, as someone who’s always been a sucker for flowy, pretty and intriguing titles, this one hit the “you need to find out what I’m all about and read me” button instantaneously.
While I haven’t had the chance to read the book as of yet (purchasing my copy this Friday because: PAY DAY!), I’ve heard nothing but positive things about it thus far.
Today’s spotlight features a US only giveaway, but fear not international friends – I’m planning on doing a giveaway for this in the forthcoming weeks.
In the meantime, here’s all the info you need about Walk on Earth a Stranger. Once again, happy book birthday Rae! Hope you’re celebrating with gold-dusted cupcakes!

A young woman with the magical ability to sense the presence of gold must flee her home, taking her on a sweeping and dangerous journey across Gold Rush–era America.
Lee Westfall has a secret. She can sense the presence of gold in the world around her. Veins deep beneath the earth, pebbles in the river, nuggets dug up from the forest floor.
The buzz of gold means warmth and life and home—until everything is ripped away by a man who wants to control her.
Left with nothing, Lee disguises herself as a boy and takes to the trail across the country. Gold was discovered in California, and where else could such a magical girl find herself, find safety? Rae Carson, author of the acclaimed Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy, dazzles with this new fantasy that subverts both our own history and familiar fantasy tropes.
