I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 372

"……How about it?"

"Uh-huh……"

In Bai Qiguo, Alice was at a friend's house, holding the "Ordinary and Great" handed over by her friend and just watched it all morning.

Waiting for her friend Tara to call her twice before she recovered from the book,
"I'll take another look... Well, I'll take another look."

As she spoke, Alice lowered her head again to continue reading the "Ordinary and Great".

"Don't look, my Alice."

"why?"

"Because even if you have food for thought that makes you ignore hunger, my stomach tells me I can't take it anymore and it's time for lunch."

"It's noon now, my Alice!"

"Ok."

There was still something to be desired, and I reluctantly looked at the opened "Ordinary and Great".

Alice raised her head and replied.

"It seems that you like the book I recommended this time."

"Hmm... This book is indeed very good... No, it should be said to be excellent. It is an excellent book, just like a classic masterpiece, but the author's exquisite sentences let me immerse myself in it, and it is not so boring."

Alice paused, and the scene in the book that she had just read unconsciously appeared in her mind.

Little Hoss, Mrs. Milia, Aunt Valina, Gus, Father, Mr. Raleigh.

There are also different plot fragments. In front of the cemetery, Little Hoss buried the tombstone belonging to his father Medioc with trembling fear for his father.
Mrs. Milia was still standing in the yard at night waiting for More's return.

Aunt Varina met Little Hoss in the field late at night,

The meeting between Gus and Little Hoss, the figure of the priest against so many candles in the church, and Mr. Raleigh's hideous appearance.

All the scenes appeared in Alice's mind, as if they were deeply imprinted in her mind,
Maybe after a long time, I will think about it again.

Just thinking about it like this made Alice feel a little uncomfortable and depressed again, because of the little Huss in the book, and also because of the almost real world in the book.

"I really like the book you recommended this time. Well, this book is different from the ones you recommended before."

"Thank you for your compliments on this work I love, but do you seem to be questioning my previous level of appreciation?"

"Then do you think those 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 better than other books."

"It's much better. Moreover, this book will definitely not be a niche work, it is a classic work!"

Haven't finished it yet, but Alice already seems to like the book more than Tara.

"But he doesn't seem to have that many readers now."

Tara said with a smile.

"That's just because this book has not been seen by more readers. Nothing can cover up its brilliance for such a work."

"Tara, do you think this book will only be read by these readers?"

Alice said.

Tara hesitated, then nodded affirmatively,

"Well, this book will definitely have more readers, well, I also hope that it will be seen by more readers."

"Then let's recommend this book to others."

"Open your social platform account and recommend this book. Tara."

As Alice said, she has already started operations on her side.

Although those who follow their social accounts may be their friends,

But Alice is very happy to be able to add a little readership to such a work.

"Okay. Alice, you seem to be recommending this book to me to read."

Tara couldn't help laughing.

"Perhaps you understand this work better than I do."

"Is that so? Maybe I should have a serious discussion with you about this issue."

Tara narrowed her eyes.

How is it possible, she has read this book several times, it is her favorite work recently,
At least in her opinion, it is much better than the ABC or the works of "dog author" that Alice likes to watch.

"It seems you have a different opinion."

Posted a blog post recommending this book on social platforms,

The two friends started a heated discussion on this issue.

……

"...Ayer, a bookstore has sent a stock list, hoping to buy another batch, about [-] volumes of "The Ordinary and the Great."

White Flag State, Ayer Press.

Al has been paying attention to the situation of public opinion on the Internet, watching the comments and feedback left by readers of "The Ordinary and the Great" on the Internet.

So far so good.

Although the publishers of those two writers severely squeezed Ayer Press, the popularity of "The Ordinary and the Great"

It seems that there is no sign of news related to "The Ordinary and the Great" on the bright side.
But in fact, under the publicity draft issued by Ayer Publishing House, there are still more and more comments from readers every moment.

At this moment,
Petunia hurried into the office, with a happy face, and told Al the good news,

"This is the first bookstore to ask for replenishment. It seems that "The Ordinary and the Great" seems to be selling well in their bookstore."

"Yes, and this is not a chain bookstore, but a single bookstore, a medium-sized bookstore in Great Britain. Last time they bought thirty volumes."

"It seems that this bookstore is really optimistic about "The Ordinary and the Great""

"Isn't this what it should be? Of course, as long as the owner of the bookstore has read this work."

Penny replied with a smile,

Al laughed too.

This is indeed good news. Although two hundred volumes are not many,

But it's a good sign and will 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 for him as soon as possible."

"Well, I have arranged to send two hundred copies from the inventory. Well... I also sent a signed book by the way. I hope the owner of the bookstore will like it."

Petunia said with a smile on her face,
Al smiled too, he was very happy,
Hearing this good news, even the whole person felt a little more relaxed.

……

"Boss, is there "Ordinary and Great"?"

"Sorry. It's sold out."

Great Britain, in a bookstore not far from the University.

The bookstore owner faced another reader who came to buy "The Ordinary and the Great",
gave a negative answer,

Then watching the man leave with some regrets,

The bookstore owner was also a little annoyed.

Two days ago, after he sold his first copy of "The Ordinary and the Great",

"The Ordinary and the Great" in his store began to be purchased one after another,
He is familiar with the first few boys and girls, isn't it the people in the 'ABC and Dog Author Works Reading Club' in the university opposite,
The bookstore owner can also be regarded as a non-staff member of this society.

The people in this club are also readers who like to read books and novels, and they often come to him to buy books.
Probably got the news from that bastard, and then came in twos and threes,
Then, he is not very familiar with the people who want to buy this book later.

Perhaps the fad of reading this book has spread in this university?

It's just a pity,

"The Ordinary and the Great" he entered [-] volumes at the beginning,
I still came back with the idea of ​​selling and trying.

It was sold out this morning.

And the supplemented goods have not yet been shipped.

"Hey……"

Sighed,

The bookstore owner turned his head again and looked at the "Ordinary and Great" that he had left behind on the side of the cashier counter.
Then he paused, picked up the book again,

He looked at himself again.
