'Lifeline' book fest

Today, I went to the 'Brisbane convention center' where the 'Lifeline' annual book fest is taking place and I was overwhelmed as I put my step inside the hall. Because it was much more huge than I had expected it would be, it seemed to be a lot bigger than soccer play ground, and millions of books are crammed on the long tables to be picked.

Although, it was just over 9am as I got to there which is normally not the time people in a hurry given that it was weekends, the convetion center was already crowded of the people from every suburbs of the town. Even there were some people getting out of the place with a couple of shopping carts that were full of second hand books.

The scene of great number of people putting the books into their large bags as swiftly as they can made me also hurry to join the endless line before, I thought it would possibly happen, all the books that I was looking for went away.

I spent almost 4 hours weaving through all the tables of paperback section in which I didn't realise the time went so fast and ended up with 17 books which is a lot more than I would've bought. Nevertheless, now I am thinking of visiting the place again because there are still some books that I had hoped could be there but were not and will try once more next time. Anyway I had the happiest day over the last few months.
