Dear Brittle Paperians, we are taking 13 days off this holiday season!

This year has been lovely and we have enjoyed every moment that we kept all of you informed about the African literary scene with every book news, review, feature, and list.

As the year winds down, we want to thank everyone who supported us across the globe.

This year has been an exciting one, through all of our various posts from book news, lists, features and reviews we have easily featured over 400 books this year. African book publishing is on a steady incline, both on the continent and abroad, and we proudly will continue to feature new books as they arrive–and keep all of you up to date on the latest.

2025 will be another exciting year, but we will be taking off 13 days to recharge for the new year to keep bringing you the best. We will be back on Jan 5, 2025.

In the meantime, enjoy our anthology of festive African writing and our 100 Notable African Books of the Year. Follow this link to read more stories and poetry. Don’t forget to check out all our inspiring book features, book reviews, and book lists for this year!

Happy holidays and a Happy New Year to all our readers.

See you in 2025!
