Top-selling Afrikaans family magazine Huisgenoot now also has a brand-new section on books.
With so many new books constantly making their appearance even regular visitors to large bookstores can't keep up with what's on offer. Now Huisgenoot makes it easier for book-lovers to home in on new titles with a new section devoted to books.
In the launch section in the 11 June issue of the magazine Huisgenoot chats to five authors and gives readers the lowdown on 17 books. There are also many book giveaways and two huge Spots (the lovable dog in the popular Otto series for children) up for grabs. With something for book-lovers of all persuasions - serious issues, romance, nostalgia, DIY and bedtime stories - the new Huisgenoot book pages are bound to be a hit.
There's also a huge bonus for learners and teachers: every month three pages will be devoted to Grade 10, 11 and 12 Afrikaans prescribed works, including a page with learners' and teachers' questions and answers from experts.
"At Huisgenoot our aim is to get people to read so we're right behind any venture that promotes reading," Huisgenoot editor Esmaré Weideman says.
"It's a privilege to have a regular book feature in Huisgenoot. We want to make a contribution to the book industry and give our nearly two million readers access to the wide and wonderful world of books. The one thing that sets our book pages apart from the rest - and makes them even more exciting - is the special focus on prescribed works for learners. We hope it will become a must for learners and teachers."
