Marianne wrote: "Lifeline Book Fair tomorrow: watch this space..."

I went to one here a couple of weeks ago and while I picked up a couple and they were only $1 each (last day) I ended up leaving with nothing as I knew I didn't need any more books! I'm struggling to read what I have!!

[Sharah]

I went to the Lifeline Book Fair last month here in Bundaberg and went overboard as usual! I bought about 50 books. I'm at the stage now where I have run out of space but keep seeing books I want! I may need to do a cull....
Have fun Marianne!
