Library Book Sale

 My local library is hosting their first book sale since COVID this weekend!  They were able to hold it in the ballroom of a local hotel.  It was beautiful!  The lights were low and soft classical music played.   All of the books were located in one room and spread out on tables for easy viewing and social distancing.  

Normally the sale is held in the basement of the library and the books are separated into three different rooms.  The rooms are lit by florescent lights and there is only the sound of quiet talking or books shuffling.

When I was checking out I told the volunteer that it was really nice having the sale in the ballroom.  She agreed and said she wished they could always have it there.  However, it was a little difficult hauling the books from the library to the hotel.  

On to the books.  Here's what I bought:


The pile on the left:
*Murder, She Wrote Murder in Moscow by Donald Bain
*Murder, She Wrote Murder on the QE2 by Donald Bain
*Murder, She Wrote A Deadly Judgment by Donald Bain
*Murder, She Wrote Martinis & Mayhem by Donald Bain
*Leave it to Psmith by P.G. Wodehouse
*Village School by Miss Read

The pile on the right:
*Postern of Fate by Agatha Christie
*Nemesis by Agatha Christie
*Hickory Dickory Death by Agatha Christie
*Cat Among the Pigeons by Agatha Christie
*The Clocks by Agatha Christie
*Sad Cypress by Agatha Christie
*Murder in Mesopotamia by Agatha Christie
*Poirot Investigates by Agatha Christie
*Third Girl by Agatha Christie
*And then There Were None by Agatha Christie
*Her Forbidden Knight by Rex Stout

I have not seen an Agatha Christie book at a library sale in quite some time.  Someone must have cleared out their collection.  It was wonderful to be able to browse through books again!
