Uittreksel: Tenk deur Pieter Stoffberg
1987. ’n Konvooi vegvoertuie is op pad na Angola om oorlog te maak. Vir die eerste keer is Suid-Afrikaanse tenks deel van die opmars om die Rooi Gevaar te stuit. Kommandant Leon Marais dra nie net die las as bevelvoerder nie, maar bots ook met sy direkte hoof. Dit is van die grootste veldslae met Suid-Afrikaanse tenks in Angola. Daar is soldate wat sterf en vermink word. Ander breek onder die spanning. Almal keer terug met wonde in hul gemoed. 'n Klinkende stuk van historiese fiksie.

Extract: Yinka, Where is your Huzband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn
Riotously funny and full of heart, Yinka is the heroine we've all been waiting for... Yinka wants to find love. Her mum wants to find it for her. She also has too many aunties who frequently pray for her delivery from singledom, a preference for chicken and chips over traditional Nigerian food, and a bum she's sure is far too small as a result.
