Discover something new with Exclusive Books Homebru — because there’s no place like home, bru
Homebru — the feeling of pride one gets when reading local books. The Exclusive Books Homebru campaign is an opportunity to spotlight the homegrown voices that are defining the South African literary landscape. With a selection fit to define, discover and inspire, come along for the ride with all the different people, places and spaces that make up South African literature. This year, Homebru is a celebration of words: the unique and quintessentially South African words that bring us together, help us express ourselves and give us an avenue to tell our story. South Africans have always had a way with words and while meanings may differ, we understand each other all the same.
With 58 books to choose from, explore powerful poetry and fabulous fiction, marvellous nature, and thought-provoking current affairs. Browse through the contentrich catalogue in-store and on the Exclusive Books website to discover the words that sing and dance off the page. There is a healthy mix for any reader looking to spruce up their local library, covering the full spectrum of writing styles and genres. Every person has a story to tell and with an insider look into the lives of all the different personalities that make up Homebru, there is an opportunity for endless reading!
Homebru 2024 boasts a collection that has something for everyone. For the young and not so young, the politically inclined and the adventurous souls looking for something to discover among the pages. Like any good book, nothing beats a strong introduction and Homebru has the perfect selection for all the little ones getting a taste for reading. With 11 books to jump-start your local bookshelf, explore the budding voices of South African children’s literature, sharing thoughtful lessons, imaginative stories of friendship and all the fun that awaits between the pages. The fun doesn’t have to stop there, bring your little ones to one of the many Homebru laities children parties happening across the country to get the full experience of Homebru 2024.
