I even had to skip my planned participation in German Literature Month, my favorite literary event in the sphere of blogging about books. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nevertheless I was during a considerable part of my free time busy with things that are in a wide sense related to literature. For the Global Literature in Libraries Initiative I curated a Bulgarian Literature Month, and this was so far my most challenging but also most rewarding experience as a book blogger. A number of readers that otherwise would have never picked up a translated book by a Bulgarian author, decided to give it a try and I am sure that some of them will follow new books by Bulgarian authors also in the future. This was of course a joint effort, and I would like to thank again all contributors to this event!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Right now I am working on two translation projects, and also one book project for Rhizome, the publishing house I founded with my close friend Elitsa Osenska. I had also for the first time one of my poems printed in three anthologies (in Bulgarian, English and French translation) and was also for the first time a member of a jury for a poetry award (see last blog post). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Next year will hopefully be again a more active year here on the blog. I intend to publish more reviews, but I don&#8217;t want to make any forecast how regularly I will be able to do it. From January on, I will also write a monthly column for the blog of the Global Literature in Library Initiative on Intellectual Freedom issues, and I am looking very much forward to this new experience. There will be also news from the publishing house in which I am involved, but I prefer to reveal the details later on when things become more concrete. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additionally, 2019 will also bring a new professional challenge for me. As you see, there are quite a lot of interesting things ahead of me next year, not included those which you can&#8217;t foresee anyway&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To all readers of this blog I wish a Happy and Healthy New Year 2019!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>\u00a9 Thomas H\u00fcbner&nbsp;and Mytwostotinki, 2014-8.
