Thanks for pulling this together Lizzy. This was fun. I had hoped to read more but over the course of the year, of the 64 translated titles I’ve read, 16 were German, more than any other single language.
What a fantastic job you have done to create this list. It must have taken you ages. It is very useful too
Incredible! Thanks for all your work with this and for hosting!
What a wonderful resource! Thanks for putting it together so beautifully, and, of course, for hosting the event with Caroline. (Next year I hope to be a better participant; I have been entirely too ill this fall.)
Thanks for all the work you put into this, Lizzie. I agree with Bellezza; this is a great resource!
Enjoyed joining in. Nice idea and nice job.
It’s very handy having this index so thanks for putting the effort into doing this – I realise how much time it must take.
Excellent job by all participants and special thanks to you and Caroline for co-hosting this event again. The index is great, and together with those on the German Lit Month website from the last years, this is an excellent and valuable resource for anyone who is interested in German literature. To put this index together must have been taken many hours but I am very grateful for it!
Wow !
Very impressive, what a great resource for further adventures.
I’m only sorry I didn’t come across German literature month till quite late in November, but there will definitely be German literature scheduled in my own personal long haul challenge. I have one imminently scheduled for completion before the end of the month and another waiting for January or February. Plus lots more goodies to pick from your great index!
