Book-ish

You remember me talking about how I won't have to translate any books with more than 400 pages this year anymore? I should have bitten my tongue - or my fingers in this case. It looks like I landed the third book in Sarah Douglass' "The Wayfarer Redemption" trilogy. The third book. For real. Some other translator did the first two. God, I hate to take over someone else's work. Especially when that person didn't put together any vocabulary at all so I will have nothing to follow! It'll be Berg's "Rai Kirath" and Brust's "Taltos" all over again! *head/desk*



Last night, I ordered me some manga! *flails*
Hinako Takanaga's "Verliebter Tyrann 1" (Tyrant Falls in Love 1)
Rei Hiroe's "Black Lagoon 1"
Matsuri Akino's "Genju no Seiza 1+2"
Tomo Takabayashi's "Ab sofort Dämonenkönig! 1" (Kyo Kara Maoh! 1)
Shiho Sugiura's "Silver Diamond 1"
Matsuri Hino's "Vampire Knight 2"

Awesome!

Geez, you'd think the previous translator would put together a vocab list for himself at least, to help with the second book! *hugs* Cheer up! SPN this Thursday!!

I have a vocabulary for every book that I translated - names, relationships, titles etc. It quite irks me when a translator doesn't do that. It's quite unprofessional X(

I won't see the ep until late Saturday because I'm attending a book fair in Prague this Friday *sigh* But you are right, yay for a new ep :)
