On The Same Page discussion

Hello Everyone,

My name is Faouzia Ben Khoud, i've been a member of this group (and LOBA before it) for quite some time, always as an avid reader.
Now i am going to re-introduce myself to you in a new role, as an author of non-fiction.
I am from Tunisia but i've been living in Germany for many years. I am also an architect, and it is while studying in Germany that i got extremely lucky and was commissioned to write a book about architecture in Tunis, my home town. It was something i never imagined would happen and you can imagine how happy i was.

This Architectural Guide is the history of the capital of Tunisia told through a selection of buildings and sites, from Roman times to contemporary period. It is written in a way, i hope, to interest readers from any background without getting too technical and annoying (at least that was the idea).

So, i'll get to the point without making this long and boring :D
The book was published more than a year ago, but i officially claimed my Author Profile on Goodreads a couple of weeks ago. Which is why i wanted to organise a small giveaway for the group as a celebration.

I am giving away 3 copies (French or English edition).
If you are interested, all you have to do is enter your name in a comment and state which edition you would prefer.

The giveaway closes on Wednesday 31.08.2022 at 23:59 Central European Time.
During the next few days i would pick up 3 names (randomly i promise you) and post the names of the winners.
For the Addresses i will, of course, contact each of them privately; and the copies would be shipped within the next 10-14 Days.

So, here is a link for the book.


I hope you would enjoy the idea of the Giveaway!
Faouzia.

Congratulations on the publication of your book! My father is a retired architect and I have loved discussing architecture with him over the years. I hope you have much success with its publication!

thanks a lot Lea for your nice words :)

Congratulations and good luck, Faouzia!! 🥳

Thank you so much Alondra :D

Best wishes for your success! I have friends from Algeria and one from Tunisia.


I would be interested in the book. My French has declined so much that I think English would be my best option! Thanks. Jackie Dawson

Faouzia~Really excellent that you published your book. I would like one in English (I have given up trying to master French)

Best of Luck with your Book.

Faouzia, Thank you, I got your Book. I love reading and seeing photos of Architecture. 💖 My Mom is very sick, so haven’t even had time to read. Definitely, will get back to you about your book though.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother, Kristine. My thoughts are with you both!
