For nearly three weeks, I'm here, a small, complete with never-ending reading marathon. Interest only, that under all the stuff is actually not a real book. But a tie.
About two times a year it is hectic for me. It begins the time when I get a review package to read in a few days and then has to negotiate. My first package arrived on Saturday (22), my second day with laggards (26) and Sunday (30th) I have to hand over the reviews, to be displayed then a few weeks later in printed form as books-media-magazine with an initial circulation of 600,000 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Eight days, 1568 pages.
every time I look forward to the challenge, even if it is incredibly stressful and exhausting, as I have, at least for future books in hand, books that are published and which I can count as a reader. In my package this time three proofs of the three were? (For which I have a big weakness!), The Top Secret edition with the consequences "Brainwash - prisoners thought " , » House of Horror - The House of Fear " and » High Strung - Under high voltage " contains (Franckh-Kosmos Verlag). There was a bound galley proofs from the publisher is entitled Treehouse » Letterland " Johanna Trommer and Meryem Natalie Akdenizli. wonderful - a gebundene Druckfahne! Ich mag das Gewusel von Millionen ungehefteter Blätter eigentlich nicht, die vor allem beim Unterwegs-Lesen sehr unpraktisch sind. Als letztes fand ich etwas ungewöhnliches in meinem Rezensionspaket: Eine unkorrigiertes, aber als Taschenbuch gebundenes Rezensionsexemplar eines Titels, der erst im März als Hardcover erscheint. » Oksa Pollock – Die Unverhoffte « heißt das Buch, dem der Verlag Oetinger sehr viel Aufmerksamkeit gönnt. Ich dachte erst, meine Chefin hätte sich einen Scherz erlaubt, als sie am Telefon anmerkte, dass sie die Krawatte mitschicken würde. Pustekuchen - was there really a blue-red striped tie in how the heroine of the novel, it also contributes. This one expensive-looking press kit, a note pad in A4 format and a funny stand the main character, which is attached to the carton. In the network there is already a separate page and a book trailer.
Why have I stressed at the outset that I am looking forward to future books and can also leave? Because I've already started two weeks earlier, I read through a mountain of manuscripts that are published may (and in some cases, hopefully never) as a book. The Crime? No. A biographical Report? Nope. A volume of poetry? Hmm, no. A short story collection? Rather reluctantly. There were pages with illogical plot, unsympathetic protagonists who responded incomprehensible error of perspective were not too short, just as bad style, superficial characters with no development, dialogue impossible, racist and sexist innuendo. So I'm just very happy how my reading marathon developed from work in progress Un-books to proofs and review copies of future books and true. So, now, but read.
