Littafi Monthly 50

Vote Your Read

Here's a chance to show the world which African books you rate higher than others! Lend your voice and logic to promoting the definitive African literature reads for the month.

📚 Two winners each month receive any five books from the current ranking

Your details

So we can reach the two readers who win five books from this month’s chart.

How your vote works

  1. Nominate one book — name the title you most want on this month’s chart. This shapes next month’s candidate list.
  2. Pick up to three from the list below. Each selection adds 10 points toward the Monthly 50 ranking.
  3. Submit — every valid vote enters you for the chance to win any five books from the final ranking.
Pick up to three more from the list (each adds 10 points)

Rankings refresh once a month. Eligible works are African literature — fiction, poetry, essays, memoir — by African authors or about the African experience.

Prize: two voters win any five titles from the current Monthly 50 (physical or digital, subject to availability).
