About this list
Bulgaria, 99 Books
This list is the Bulgarian version of the BBC Big Read.
Big Reading is a campaign broadcast on Bulgarian National Television , with the aim of polling Bulgarians about their favorite novels. The show is based on the BBC 's Great Reading English format . It started in Bulgaria on October 5 , 2008 and ended on March 22, 2009 . Voting is done by e-mail, via the Internet , by telephone or by letter . Initially, 100 novels were selected ( December 21 , 2008), of which the first 12 were subsequently ranked.
Engagement was strong: after the first four weeks organisers had already logged 35 000 ballots, 97 % cast online and 66 % from women, and internal figures circulating after the finale put the overall tally at about 100 000 votes, with roughly 14 000 of them arriving during the closing broadcast itself
