June 2016 will be Bulgarian Literature Month at Mytwostotinki’s – and some other bloggers and readers have announced that they intend to join. What about you – yes, YOU? (You see I can be very persistent when it comes to\u00a0Bulgarian literature)<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are actually no real rules, just a few guidelines – reading and reviewing should be fun.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, this is what I have in mind:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are a blogger and you want to join, publish your blog post(s) for Bulgarian Literature Month preferably in\u00a0June until mid-July. It will help me to track down all participants easily when you send me a short message here, when you use the hashtag #BulgarianLitMonth2016, or when you link to this post when you publish your review on your own blog.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are a reader without your own blog: some book bloggers (including myself) are open to publish occasionally guest posts; so if you want to join, let me know and maybe I can publish your review here. By the way, blogging is easy and why you don’t consider to use this occasion to starting your own book blog?<\/strong><\/p>\n

And, your posts need not to be necessarily reviews, any book (and Bulgaria) related content is welcome. Your posts should be preferably in English (I won’t exclude blog posts in German or French as well).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among all participants I will choose one that will be awarded another giveaway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Talking about giveaways – there are two books I want to give to those who are interested. I have a copy of Virginia Zaharieva’s novel 9 Rabbits<\/em>, translated by Angela Rodel, Istros 2012), a book I enjoyed very much<\/a>; the other book I am giving away is a bi-lingual poetry collection: Ivan Hristov – American Poems<\/em> (translated by Angela Rodel, DA Poetry Publishing 2013); I have translated some of the poems into German<\/a> some time ago on this blog. This second book is a bit difficult to find outside Bulgaria and is already a kind of rarity. \u00a0Just leave me a note here until 12:00 p.m. Sofia time next Saturday (May, 21) and let me know in which of the two you are interested. The winners will be announced next Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good luck and good reading – I am looking forward to your participation in Bulgarian Literature Month 2016!<\/strong><\/p>\n
