First Friends of the Library Booksale for 2012

Today I went to my first Friends Of the Library book sale today for 2012. This isn’t my local library and Dorval is the next city over from me.

Blue arrow represents I am and the black is where Dorval is.

I have to say I went in with high hopes because the last few years that I have gone I have gotten amazing finds. This year I did it alone since Tina @ Bookshipper was unable to attend.

When I walked in at 1pm the place was crowded  and from looking around they had a huge amount of books, magazines, cds, and DVDs. So I was excited. I automatically went to the back wall where they usually have the children and teen books. Well when I got to the table I was rather disappointed. They didn’t have any teen books at all and the majority of books were library books and not many personally owned books.

I did manage to find some books for Michael but not alot compared to other years. From there I went to the fiction section with hopes of finding some great books and that too was a bit disappointing since that was mainly library books and a few personally owned books.

I asked a volunteer before I started to dig into bags and boxes under the table if it was okay to do so since I wasn’t sure if the bags belonged to anyone and that too was a let down because they were dirty old paperback and smelly books.

I did manage to find some stuff which I will share with you: (I got all this for $30)

-It’s Not me, It’s You by Stephanie Wilder Taylor
-The Blue Girl by Charles De Lint (now why couldn’t this sale have been before Charles came to town?)
-GTO a graphic novel
-Postcard Killers by James Patterson
-Black Cat a graphic novel
-Bliss by Lauren Myracle
-The Prenup
-Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen
-Happy Ever After by Nora Roberts (this is part of a series that I started to read)
-Hellbound Hearts by assorted authors (Kelley Armstrong is in it)
-The Living Dead 2 by assorted authors (Kelley Armstrong is in it)

-I found one Jughead double digest for Tina cause she loves Archies

-Fat Girl by Judith Moore this sounds good

These are for Michael:
-A beginner’s guide to drawing comics, caricatures and cartoon strips
-Brickbeards treasure
-The amazing Spongebobini
-Magical Pokemon how do you do journey
-Reading workbook
-Pokemon of Battle dimension The secret of the tower
-Pokemon Team Rocket Blasts off

Then I saw Season 1-2-3 of Stargate so I had to nab them. Here is where I admit that I had a huge crush on Richard Dean Anderson.

For some reason I saw the first season of Stargate but don’t recall watching the rest so what better chance to get caught up then with this?

Then I saw Dancing with the Stars cardio Dance and nabbed this one to. I currently began a diet and I think this is a great motivation.

So this is what I managed to get at the Friends of the Library sale. I know this year the selection was down from other years.

Have you been to any library sales? Have you noticed the difference in the books and selection?
