Radio SRF 1 launches book blog "Die BuchKönig bloggt
She reads whenever and wherever she can. Now, SRF literature editor Annette König is sharing her passion for reading with like-minded people. Under the pen name «Die BuchKönig,» she writes a weekly book blog for Srf1.ch.
The new crime novel by Petra Ivanov: a fabric softener. The new Brunetti: pure boredom. And with his new novel, Dave Eggers is going in circles. Annette König dares to tear down even big names. If she likes a book, however, "Die BuchKönig" is sometimes effusive. She finds the thriller "Confessions" by Kanae Minato "disturbingly good" and felt like she was on a roller coaster while reading it.
Whether she is enthusiastic about a book or not - Annette König is clear and gives reasons for her praise or objections. "Thumbs up" and "thumbs down" are the words in each case. "Die BuchKönig" reports on her reading experience and rates the books with crowns. Angry comments from readers are not left out when "The BookKing" criticizes her favorite writer. That is intentional. Radio SRF 1's book blog aims to stimulate and excite. And contact is maintained with the community on Facebook. In this way, suggestions from the audience are also sometimes passed on to Radio SRF 1 on air.
