I went this weekend to the 4th Lifeline Northern Beaches Book Fair in Warriewood. I always wanted to go but haven’t got the chance yet. This Saturday I finally made it and loved it!
I spent almost three hours inside the room digging into every pile from every section of the fair. Finally left the place when it was about to close at 5 pm happily carrying 17 very special pre-loved titles. Wanna know how much did I spend? Only 28 bucks!!
I was lucky because while I was in there they did a 15-minute promotion on what you’d pay only 10 dollars for all the books you could fit in a bag they were handing out. That made all my books cost less than 2 dollars each!
Normally, most books cost between 1 and 10 dollars, and they’re all in very good conditions! Moreover the fair is simple but extremely organised and the staff’s so friendly! If you missed this one, you’ll have a new opportunity as the new dates are already set. So make sure to visit what will probably be the last one this year! And tell me what you thought, and of course, which titles you bought. ;)
Next dates:
Friday 26th November – 5pm to 9pm
Saturday 27th November – 9am to 5pm
Sunday 28th November – 9am to 2pm
The titles I’ve bought! :D
I was raised in a house with a huge library with hundreds of varied titles. My dad has always bought me many books, and I myself have already added to our library back home. Now I’m starting to build my mini-library here in my Aussie place… I am happy to say that I’ve just filled the last available shelf in my bookshelf!
When I leave, I’ll probably do a book-garage-sale… You luckies! ;p
Great collection.Thanks for sharing :)

ReplyDeleteI had no idea there was a book fair at Warriewood and I've been on the northern beaches for 4 years so thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteGreat to read your blog today. Always love reading fellow expat experiences. If you want, have a read of my own blog at insearchofalifelessordinary.blogspot.com, which follows my journey from England to Canada to Australia. Maybe you can relate to some of my own experiences although I haven't got to the Oz part of the adventure yet!
I am glad you guys liked it! :) I've been enjoying my reading very much! Still in the second book, many to go yet, but it's good to see them sitting comfortably in my bookshelf just waiting for to pick them up!
