The Lifeline Bookfest has been one of my key suppliers of books since I started Livre Eclectica. It happens twice a year and runs for a week at the Brisbane Convention Centre. I have lined up early to be among the very first in, and I have also gone on the last few hours of the last day. Either way, it never fails to disappoint me.
This week I have picked up a range of titles that you might like to browse:
- The Secret Garden by Fances Hodgson Burnett – Reprint, Heinemann, 1936, frontispiece, illustrated (Stunning!)
- Little Women by Louisa May Alcott – Ward Locke, 1940s, frontispiece

- The Moon Spinners by Mary Stewart – First Edition, Hodder and Stoughton, 1962
- Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell – Reprint, 1957
- The Burnt Ones by Patrick White – First Edition, 1954

I only select books that whisper my name. So, hopefully they might do the same to you! I’ll be loading these into the site over the next week, and will update the hyperlinks above.
Enjoy!
