Where are your usual places to go and buy books?
My list is pretty short and straightforward:
- bookshop
- supermarket
- second-hand book markets
- garage sales
Today I found a new place:
my local library!
to tell the truth this it’s not the first time I buy from a library, my very first time goes back in the UK, about 10 years ago. Anyway, today has been my first time in Australia 🙂
It’s great because:
- you can find quite nice little books which might have been worn out a bit but they still need some love and a new house.
- you give a little help to your local library donating a very small amount of money and getting rid of “old” books so that they can be replaced with new ones.
- they are a bargain: only 1$ for 5 books of your choice!!!
We have chosen these 5 and are very happy with them 🙂
I’m particularly excited to have found these two Australian books
- Miss Llewellyn-Jones goes to town by Elaine Forrestal
- Come fly with Captain Kangaroo illustrated by Mandy Foot
which will always remind us of our life here when we’ll be living in another Country.

Good purchases!
Welcome back to the world of blogging. 🙂
thanks 🙂 I ‘ve been a bit busy lately but I promise to write more often in the future 🙂 are you still in Italy?
No, I came back at the beginning of this month. It won’t stop raining up here in the Atherton Tablelands!
don’t complain, it’s winter after all! you are simply missing Italy 😉
I had crazy weather there: tornado (Florence), earthquake (Florence), and lots of rain in Florence and Venice, and also aqua alta in Venice, in May. Oh, and a big water spout that affected Malamocca.
Winter up here is supposed to be dry and sunny, something has happened …
oh wow! I didn’t know…some climate changes going on.
Mainly I buy my books from bookshops, sometimes from Internet.
thanks for your comment. I was wondering if libraries in Finland do sell their “old” books like they do here.
We have lot of bookstores for old books. 🙂
