Chapter 372: The Undercurrent is surging
“…… What do you think? ”
"Huh? Hmmm......"
In the White Flag Country, Alice was at a friend's house, holding the "Ordinary and Great" handed over by a friend and watching it all morning.
waited for her friend Tara to call her twice before she came back to her senses from the book,
"I'll take another look...... Well, I'll take a look at it again. ”
As she spoke, Alice lowered her head again and continued to read the book "Ordinary and Great".
"Don't look at it, my Alice."
"Why?"
"Because even if you have food for thought that can make you ignore hunger, my stomach tells me that I can't take it anymore and it's time for lunch."
"It's noon now, my Alice!"
"Okay."
There are still some unfinished, and I reluctantly watched "Ordinary and Great" that I opened twice.
Alice raised her head and answered.
"Looks like you like the book I recommend this time."
"Hmm...... This book is really good...... No, it should be said that it is excellent, it is an excellent book, like a classic masterpiece, but the author's exquisite sentences immersed me in it, and it was not so boring. ”
Alice paused, and unconsciously remembered the plot picture in the book that she had just read.
Little Horse, Miriah Lady, Aunt Valina, Gus, Father Priest, Mr. Raleigh.
There are also different plot sequences, in front of the cemetery, little Hoss trembles and fears his father and buries the tombstone belonging to his father Medioc,
Milia stood in the courtyard late at night, waiting for Moore's return.
Aunt Valena's encounter with little Hoth in the field in the middle of the night,
The meeting between Gus and little Hoss, the priest's presence in the light of so many candles in the church, and the odious appearance of Mr. Raleigh.
Scenes and scenes appeared in Alice's mind, as if they were deeply imprinted in her mind.
Maybe I'll remember it again after a long time.
Just thinking like this, Alice was a little uncomfortable and depressed, for the little Hoss in the book, and for the almost real world in the book.
"I like the book you recommended this time, well, this book is also different from the books you recommended before."
"Thank you for complimenting me on this work, but do you seem to be questioning my previous level of appreciation?"
"Then do you think that the niche books you read before are as good as this book? My Tara. ”
"Well, this ...... Well, maybe I can't say something so against my will. This book is indeed a little better than the others. ”
"It's a lot better. Moreover, this book is certainly not a niche work, it is a classic! ”
She hasn't finished reading it yet, but Alice seems to have enjoyed the book more than Tara.
"But he doesn't seem to have that many readers right now."
Tara said with a smile.
"That's just because this book hasn't been seen by more readers, and nothing can hide his light from such a work."
"Tara, do you think this book will only be read by the current readers?"
Alice said.
Tara hesitated for a moment, then nodded affirmatively,
"Well, this book is definitely going to have more readers, well, I want him to be seen by more readers too."
"Then let's recommend this book to others."
"Open your social media account and recommend this book. Tala. ”
Alice said, her own side has already begun to operate,
Although the people who follow their social accounts may be their friends,
But Alice is happy to be able to add a little more readership to such a work.
"Okay. Alice, you seem to have recommended this book to me to read. ”
Tara couldn't help but laugh.
"Maybe you don't understand this work as well as I do."
"Is that so? Maybe I should have a serious discussion with you. ”
Tara's eyes narrowed.
How is it possible, this book she has read several times, it is her favorite work recently,
At least she thinks it's much better than the ABC or some 'dog author' that Alice likes to read.
"Looks like you have a different opinion."
posted a blog post recommending this book on social platforms,
The two friends began to have a heated discussion about this issue.
……
“…… Al, a bookstore sent a stock list, hoping to add another batch, about 200 copies of "The Ordinary and the Great". ”
White Flag Country, Eyre Press.
Al has been paying attention to the public opinion situation on the Internet, looking at the readers of "Ordinary and Great" and the comments and feedback left on the Internet.
So far, so far, it's not bad.
Although the publishing houses of those two writers have seriously squeezed the popularity of Al Press, "Ordinary and Great",
So that there seems to be no shadow of the news related to "Ordinary and Great" on the bright side,
But in fact, under the promotional draft issued by Al Press, there are still more comments from readers every moment.
At this time,
Penny hurried into the office, with joy on her face, and told Al the good news,
"This is the first bookstore to ask for restocking, and it seems that 'Ordinary and Great' is selling well in their bookstore."
"Yes, and it's not a chain of bookstores, it's a single bookstore, a medium-sized bookstore in Great Britain. Last time they were in thirty volumes. ”
"It seems that this bookstore is indeed very optimistic about "Ordinary and Great"
"Isn't that how it should be, as long as the owner of the bookstore has read the work."
Penny replied with a smile,
Al laughed too.
This is indeed good news, and two hundred copies are not much.
But it's a good omen, and it's going to be a good start.
"Arrange to replenish this bookstore as soon as possible, after all, it is the first bookstore to apply for replenishment, arrange it for him as soon as possible."
"Well, I've arranged for two hundred copies to be sent out of stock. Well...... By the way, I also gave a signed book. Hopefully, the owner of the bookstore will like it. ”
Petunia said with a smile on her face,
Al smiled too, he was pleased,
Hearing this good news, even the whole person was a little more relaxed.
……
"Boss, is there a "Ordinary and Great"?"
"I'm sorry. It's sold out. ”
Great Britain, in a bookstore not far from the university gates.
The bookstore owner is faced with another reader who came to buy "Ordinary and Great",
The answer is given in the negative,
Then he watched the man leave with some regret,
The bookstore owner was also a little annoyed.
Two days ago, after he sold the first copy of "Ordinary and Great",
The "Ordinary and Great" in his store began to be bought one after another.
He was familiar with the first few boys and girls, wasn't they the people in the 'ABC and Dog Authors' Reading Club in the university opposite,
The owner of the bookstore is also a supernumerary member of the club.
The people in this community are also readers who like to read books, and often come to him to buy books.
I probably got the news from that bastard, and then I came in twos and threes.
Then, the people who want to buy the book later, he is not very familiar with it.
Presumably because the craze for reading this book began to spread at this university?
It's just a pity,
"Ordinary and Great" he first entered thirty volumes,
I still came in with the idea of trying to sell it.
It's sold out this morning,
And the replenishment has not yet been shipped.
"Hey......"
sighed,
The bookstore owner turned his head again and looked at the "Ordinary and Great" that he left on the side of his cashier counter.
Then he paused, and picked up the book again,
I looked at it again.
