Another way to get great books is by going to a secondhand book sale organised by your local library. Now I’m not actually a member of the library but that didn’t stop me going to the sale.
Visitors even got a little present :-). I only chose the mints though because there are only so many useless plastic boxes (I don’t even eat apples) you can store.
They are also jumping in on the trend of reading digitally and they now have e-readers by genre with 5 e-books on them.
Anyway, this is what I really came for.. the books they don’t want to lend out anymore:
Sooo, here are the books that I couldn’t resist. I’m lucky I was there so soon so I had first choice really ;-). Unfortunately it’s only one book in English, the rest is in Dutch but hey for 0,50 € I couldn’t just leave them there, could I?
The authors are:
- Iris Johansen
- Jane Green
- Natasha Kampush
- Vicki Myron
- Cecilia Ahern
- Martina Cole and
- Kristin Hannah.
You know the funny thing was that they asked me if I was from the press because I asked if I could take pictures ? Yes really. I don’t think someone from the press would be taking them with an ipad though but I must have looked quite professional, right :-)?
Future career in press/media with your ipad?😘

Ha, I wish. I should have said yes and seen how far I could take this but no, I’m too nice for misleading people like that.

Oh man, I wish my local library did the same here… I’d so be there spending money as well! Cool! 🙂 Hope you enjoy your new books! 🙂

Bloggers should get a professional card 😀 Libraries don’t often offer this kind of events, but I have found a couple of nice books when going to yard sales.

I’ve never been to a yard sale but would love to find one. We do have a few brocantes but the few books I find there are always in French. Wouldn’t be a problem for you but I’m not inclined to torture myself with all these words I don’t know and have to look up.

All the time? I’m not alone then, yay ! Maybe you’re being more covert than me, or maybe it’s because you still look so young they don’t think you’re a journalist yet..
