SA Book & Challenge Lovers discussion

The word is "Any 4 letter SA word you want". Lets get started!

You use the first letter of a book you have read in May (A, an, the.. you can leave out). Or you can use the first letter of the Authors name or Surname.

Good luck everyone!

I'm just going to read what I want and try and make up a word at the end of the month :)

lol

Letters available (planning):

C, G, R, M - A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin
S, J, W - Spiral X by J.J. Westendarp
M, K, W, J - Morlock Night by K.W. Jeter
N, A, C - Nights at the Circus by Angela Carter

If anyone has decided on a word, please let me know. I am planning on stealing one of your words :) Might also check out the nomination threads of previous months. My knowledge of South African words isn't that up to date so that's why.

This site might help Barbara: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_...

I used to use it when I was looking for a word to fit the books I wanted to read :)

Ah cool, thanks!

Lets see, I want to read:


B - Blood Faerie by India Drummond
A - Matched by Ally Condie
A - A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
S - Spiral X by J. J. Westendarp

Maybe:

Fatal Embrace by Aris Whittier

Planning:
N/L/B - The Nine Lives of Chloe King - Liz Braswell - done
A/G/M - A Game of Thrones - done
A/J/T - Ashes, Ashes - done
H/T/C - The High Lord - Jo Treggiari - done

Word: NAAT/LAAT/BAAT

Is 'frat' South African?

Yea you can say "dit was 'n frat ongeluk", as far as I have it. Could be wrong my Afrikaans sometimes sucks

Oh, I was thinking in English, as in fraternity - frat party, frat brother.

Fratsongeluk and your Afrikaans would be spot on!

aaaahh your right!

Oh eep. I thought "frat" sounded a bit wrong, lol. Frats frats frats.

Misunderstood at first, but these are all books I read in May. The last two were short stories, but they totally count! ;)

B - Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks
R - Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi
A - Youth by Isaac Asimov
K - 2 B R 0 2 B by Kurt Vonnegut

I'm afraid you've still got it slightly wrong Katherine. This is the June SA word challenge, so only books completed in June count. However, you can still put May books in the May challenge, where the word was TERT. These won't fit though.

And no, short stories don't count. Or rather, you can use them if you want but it won't count towards finishing the challenge.

I'm done!
N/L/B - The Nine Lives of Chloe King - Liz Braswell
A/G/M - A Game of Thrones
A/J/T - Ashes, Ashes
H/T/C - The High Lord - Jo Treggiari
I'm not sure who wrote The Nine Lives of Chloe King - on Amazon it says Liz Braswell, but here it's Celia Thomson. So to be safe, my word is NAAT.

Naat = a seam / suture / weld

Well done Kahlan!

D - Dahl, Roald - Revolting Rhymes
R - Reptile Room - Lemony Snicket
A - A Game of Thrones - George R.R. Martin
W - Wide Window - Lemony Snicket

Instructions copied and pasted from above:
You use the first letter of a book you have read in May (A, an, the.. you can leave out). Or you can use the first letter of the Authors name or Surname.

Apologies for the short stories - it's exam time so I'll give myself a break for that.

We've been overlooking Lu's one-month-too-old instructions every month so far. :P
Luuu, it should say June!

Lol I think most of us have stopped reading it entirely :)

Yeah, I've noticed it in the past but I haven't looked at the instructions in ages either! Sorry Katherine, I'm afraid you were misled :(

So sorry I have been copying and pasting the same message for 2 years and sometimes I forget :(

Done :)
