Novel Idea

If you like books and are in Edinburgh this week then I'd recommend going to the church at the east end of George Street. There you will find the Christian Aid second hand book sale and it's book buying heaven! It's certainly the highlight of my book buying year.
I look forward to this every year as there is thousands of books to browse ranging from new releases to classics. They also have a lot of non fiction on a variety of subjects.
I love spending my lunch hour browsing through all the stalls trying to find some bargains, it's a great opportunity to try books you perhaps wouldn't buy at full price. I went on Monday lunchtime and came away with 7 books, some of them for only 50p. I was very pleased to get the new Don Winslow for £3 as it has just been released at £11.99.
My only problem now is that I have far too many books to read so I may have to try and avoid the sale for the next couple of days especially as I'm supposed to be getting rid of some of my books. Not sure I'll be able to resist the lure though.
