A successful (and painful to my wallet) afternoon of shopping. #impulsebuys 📕 🧶 🍫 💵

The chocolate covered raisins are for the #manpanion because 🤮.

Louise Beautiful yarn! What do you plan to make with it? 2y
MaleficentBookDragon @Louise I‘m not sure. I‘m going to look through my patterns and Ravelry. 2y
PurpleyPumpkin The yarn caught my eye too. Lovely!😍 2y

Lizpixie I‘m also here for the yarn! What brand is it? Is it pure wool or a blend? Love the bold colour choice💜💚 2y
SconsinBookyBadger Pretty yarn colors 😍 2y
ShelleyBooksie Those yarn colors are gorgeous!!! What will you be making? 2y
Louise @MaleficentBookDragon I have a project “in the naughty corner” at the moment in very similar colors. The kit is on sale at WEBS. The design is by Jen Lucas. I got it when I was still very new to knitting, and the lace section didn‘t go as planned😆. Will start again one of these days, as the pattern and colors are gorgeous. Here‘s the link to the pattern, if you are considering making a shawl: https://ravel.me/liana-13 (edited) 2y
Avanders Ooooh 😍😍 And lol — I also love chocolate covered raisins 🤣🤣 2y

I do not do #impulsebuys - I suck at picking and ran out of shelf space a long time ago. This is the only book I recall being an #impulsebuy. Many, many years ago I bought it at an airport - and it started a life time of fascination with Tudors and the history writing of Alison Weir. A great purchase! It has been well worn since, and I have been recommending it to everyone!

GinaAnderson I think I read this a long, long time ago. 8y
WordWaller I totally need to read this. 8y
Alisnazzy I love Allison weir. 8y

Dragon This was my first and still favourite Allison Weir nonfiction book 8y
Gezemice @Dragon Yes, I still love it, although my abslute favorite is Elizabeth I - but this is a close second! 8y
Gezemice @Ambrosnazzy Me too! Although I had to correct that lately to loving her non-fiction... 8y
Gezemice @WordWaller I highly recommend it! 8y
Gezemice @GinaAnderson Me too, but re-read it a couple times, last time when I was wondering if the Tudors show used this book and they totally did! I found quotes in the book that were in the show that came from Weir's commentary, not from historic sources. 8y
Alisnazzy @Gezemice yes that's true. I think I tried one of novels and couldn't really get into it. But I haven't read a nonfiction of hers that I didn't love. 8y

My #impulsebuys for augustofpages #photochallenge. Lately, the majority of my impulse buys have been ebooks since I don't live close to a bookstore anymore. It's a little too easy for me to pop onto the Kindle Store and end up with a few new ebooks because they sounded kind of interesting and were only a few dollars each. These are just some of the ones I've bought in the past week. 😬😬

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Their sales lately don't help either! 8y
Yamich49 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Exactly! How is a person expected to resist? 😜 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Yamich49 Short answer..... they aren't! 8y

Gayan I am in love with Love is a Mix Tape! 8y
katedensen @Gayan It's been in my periphery for awhile, and I figured, "Why not?" I really want to get my hands on a copy of the book Sheffield recently published about David Bowie, 8y
Gayan All of his books are amazing. I really loved Talking to Girls About Duran Duran also. 8y

This was my last impulse buy - bought it blind without knowing anything. Turned out to be a well-written and fascinating story. 😀 #augustphotochallenge #impulsebuys

Another inadvertent book haul! Heartburn has been on my TBR for years; Hadley Freeman's piece in the Guardian over the weekend reminded me I must read it.. Can't wait. Comradely Greetings sounds wonderful & vital; Sendker is new to me & Shirley Hazzard one of my favourite authors. Do you like how I can justify each of these #impulsebuys?!👌😀 #augustphotochallenge

Besides the #impulsebuys I made from Audible today, last week I picked these two beauties up! City traffic is completed unpredictable, and when the drive to my hairdresser to do this crazy thing took 30 minutes less than I planned, I figured I could "just browse" the clearance rack at @bookpeople . We all know how that worked out. Can't wait to read them though! #augustofpages
