Bitch Planet Vol. 1: Extraordinary Machine | Kelly Sue DeConnick

Some #comicsbywomen from my library for today's #anditsAugust prompt. (And I am reminded that I need to buy the second volume of Bitch Planet ASAP now that #nobuyJuly is over! 😉)

It's been hard to participate in all the wonderful #photochallenges here on Litsy this summer with everything I've had going on... hopefully I'll be able to keep up better once camp ends this coming week! #campisexhausting

Mr. Mac and Me | Esther Freud

This whole #nobuyjuly thing isn't going super great, but all of this was $65 w shipping, and today is the last day, so at least I got through it! And even though I totally still bought books, there were literally dozens that I did not buy bc of the hashtag. So, yay! Still counting it as a success! #yesiknowthisissad #bookoutlet #bookhaul

batsy "there were literally dozens that I did not buy" I love that ? Well done! And Chico is looking very handsome. 8y

Zelma I agree with @batsy ; your defense is hilarious! 😂 8y

LauraBrook @batsy Thanks! And Chico says thank you too! 8y

rabbitprincess I looooove the spine on Mr Mac and Me! Gorgeous! 8y

LauraBrook @ReadsWithTea He approves anything he can rub against / knock over. 😆 @rabbitprincess The cover is really pretty too! Plus, I don't know how I missed this one of hers before now. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 8y

LauraBrook @LeahBergen I knew I was in good company. 💖 @rubyslippersreads @MicheleinPhilly Chico says hello ladies, and thank you! 8y

The Montana Stories | Katherine Mansfield

The last title in my initial #PersephoneBooks order finally arrived. I had to grab the Katherine Mansfield titles! Ordered in June, I swear! #nobuyjuly
Also good timing for a #minimalistcover

Attachments: A Novel | Rainbow Rowell

Completist weirdo hardcover lover that I am, I did find a regular US hardcover to go with my too-much-pink-but-kinda-fun UK hardcover. It's a cute read and a favorite, and I had never seen it in hardcover, so why not?
June purchase. I managed to keep to #nobuyjuly yesterday too! But my shopping carts all over the interweb are overflowing...😬

Varshitha Love the way you described the covers 😁 8y

LeahBergen You need a big, giant red ORDER button to push on August 1st that is connected to all the shopping carts. 😂 8y

elkeOriginal @LeahBergen Or maybe not! This waiting before hitting BUY is an interesting experiment...might save me money 💸💸💸 and control these Impulses. 8y

Money Pit Mystery | Eric Walters

It's no mystery what money pit my money went into... 💸

🎼Any vinyl recommendations? I am thinking of getting the Ella Fitzgerald Gold albums. I'm curious what albums are MUSTS to listen to on vinyl?

#NoBuyJuly #EpicFail #BuyAllTheBooks #PrimeDay #BeansandRiceForDinner #TakeMyMoney

CoffeeCatsBooks Lol, I kept debating on getting that record player and then it waitlisted. I was really bad yesterday. 8y

Jess_Read_This @CoffeeCatsBooks Lol! I missed out and joined the waitlist. Within minutes I was offered it and then took that as a sign I was supposed to have it 🙈 8y

DeborahSmall I bought my son a turntable for his 18th last year, he loves vinyl. His most recent buys have been most of Bowie, Muse, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Stone Roses and my favourite twin peaks music. I'm over 3/4 finished A Darker Shade of Magic. So glad I bought the hardbacks as I love it 8y

See All 18 Comments

CoffeeCatsBooks That's too funny! Glad you got it 😊. Oh and I'd recommend Nina Simone. 8y

EvieBee Nice! I hope you love My Life with Bob. I recommend Miles Davis on vinyl. 😎 8y

JenniferJarrell Any jazz is better on vinyl. I also prefer vinyl for folk like Phil Ochs and Simon and Garfunkel, as well as a lot of the '60s classic rock (The Doors, Fleetwood Mac, CSNY). I am a massive Stevie Nicks fan, and her voice on a warm vinyl record is sublime. 8y

Smangela 😍 Ella Fitzgerald will be amazing! Maybe some Nat King Cole? 8y

elliemcc11 My brother would say Stevie wonder and definitely the jazz. He's into music and vinyl whereas I'm less so. 8y

LauraBrook I always like classical on record - so warm and lovely! 8y

Jess_Read_This @DeborahSmall ohh! Good suggestions! Chili Peppers on vinyl would be good to hear. I got mine in paperback and am already regretting not splurging on the HB! 8y

Jess_Read_This @CoffeeCatsBooks omg, Nina Simone.. yes! I just put a few of her songs on my iPod this past weekend! 8y

Jess_Read_This @EvieBee84 You totally are the person who introduced me to My Life with Bob!! And Miles is being added to the lis! 8y

Jess_Read_This @JenniferJarrell Yessss!! I just put about 5 different renditions of the Sound of Silence on my iPod. Vinyl will be even better! I love the Doors and Fleetwood. I have to check out Phil Ochs! Thank you for the recommendation! 8y

Jess_Read_This @Smangela I adore Ella. I just listened to a podcast on her life and love her even more. Oh.. Nat is a must!! 8y

Jess_Read_This @elliemcc11 Thank you! I love jazz and am excited to explore the sounds on vinyl now! My brother is into vinyl too! 8y

Jess_Read_This @LauraBrook Oh.. yes.. the perfect thing for a rainy afternoon or just any afternoon spent reading! 8y

EvieBee Yay!! 8y

DeborahSmall @Jess_Read_This I had the paperbacks but knew I'd love them after I read first few pages so ordered hardbacks with my birthday money last month. So worth it ❤️ 8y

The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic | Sophie Kinsella

Damn you Prime Day! I bought books like I had cash in my wallet and space on my shelves. I did choose different shipping times so they don't ALL show up on the same day. One was the Kindle deal and I used the 40% towards a print book. Oh, plus I used that sweet Book Outlet coupon for one more. Seriously, I need to stop ...

annkuch13 Me, too! I bought way too many books!! I also got My Favorite Thing is Monsters. 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @annkuch13 Great minds read alike! #iregretnothing 8y

ScientistSam I love Atul Gawande 😀 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @ScientistSam Me too. I listened to Being Mortal on Overdrive but must have my own copy. Looking forward to his other books. 8y

tracy.anne8 I'm having the same issue. I need to put myself on a book buying band. I'm trying really hard not to make a Book Outlet order but I may fail 😕 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @tracy_anne8 Litsy does NOT help with book buying bans. I need more reading time! 8y

tracy.anne8 My book biying has gotten out of control since joining Litsy! You and me both need more time! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @tracy_anne8 At least we aren't alone ... 😜 8y

LauraBrook I've been doing the same since last night. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #nobuyjuly needs to start again tomorrow, for sure! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @LauraBrook Absolutely - I must take a #breakfrombuying! 8y

britt_brooke 😆👏🏻💸 8y

LeslieO I was trying to hold off on purchasing my Book Outlet cart but then - the coupon. 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @LeslieO I know! So many retailers had deals to compete with Amazon. My husband said that businesses lost millions in employee productivity today because we were all trolling the deals! 8y

Christine But such excellent choices! 😁 8y

EllieDottie Those are some excellent books though, so at least it was money well spent 👍 8y

BekahB Same here! I told myself I wasn't going to do any Prime day shopping, but I folded and bought several books and digital movies. Barnes and Noble also had an online coupon code so I did a little shopping on their site too. Oh well! 😆 8y

minkyb Was a great day in Amazonland but I don't think my husband is speaking to me 🤣 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Christine @EllieDottie Litsy helps me find excellent books, that's for sure! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @BekahB It's hard not to fold! Enjoy your purchases! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @minkyb I hear ya ... 😜 8y

The Lying Game | Ruth Ware

The other thing I did tonight was blow my Prime Day PRIMEBOOKS17 promo code. (You get $5 off a book order over $15 if you're a Prime member. Only works on one order. See @rubyslippersreads 's page for details.) I decided I didn't have enough thrillers in my TBR. Hopefully these fit the bill!

Yeah_I_Read I ordered 3 books for 19 bucks 😊 8y

ptkpepe98 I haven't gone in yet. I'm afraid. Very, very afraid.😉 8y

britt_brooke Ooh, I didn't know about this code - thanks!! 8y

Megabooks @ptkpepe98 Be cautious! 8y

Megabooks @britt_brooke no problem! 8y

LaceyDoesLit Lying Game is sooo good, in natural Ruth Ware fashion! 8y

Megabooks @LaceyDoesLit Awesome! 8y

Reviewsbylola Prime Day totally killed my #nobuyjuly 😬 I'm glad we all decided that Prime Day gave us a pass. 😂 8y

Megabooks @Reviewsbylola mine too, and I picked up some sale books from book outlet with their coupon. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ what can you do? 8y

Reviewsbylola I am about to pull the trigger on a book outlet order too! 8y

Megabooks @Reviewsbylola 🤣🤣🤣 we're hopeless 🤣🤣 8y

Reviewsbylola So far I've managed to hold off on the Book Outlet order. 😰 8y

I haven't tried this Amazon Prime book deal yet, but I plan to. 😄 #primeday

Emily92Bibliophile Oh goodness. Just saw this and decided to buy Kevin Kwan's Rich People Problems with the $5 off. My no buy July was going great... 8y

Pandareads37 @Emily92Bibliophile I really enjoyed that book. Wish my payday was on Monday instead of Friday. Want to buy more books 8y

Jess_Read_This @Booksandcooks @laurabrook @rubyslippersreads What books are you buying? 😁 I love Prime Day! 8y

britt_brooke Thanks for posting this! I ordered hubby a Paperwhite for his birthday (in Sept) and now I'm going to order myself something! 8y

Reviewsbylola I ended up using this for

The Lowells of Massachusetts: An American Family

rubyslippersreads @Reviewsbylola That looks really interesting. 8y

rubyslippersreads @Jess_Read_This @Booksandcooks @LauraBrook I ended up getting two of the Jenny and the Cat Club books, thanks to #enabler @elkeo. 😸

The School for Cats

rubyslippersreads @Avanders @LauraBrook @Emily92Bibliophile I don't think Prime Day counts for #nobuyjuly. I mean, it's a holiday, right? 😂 8y

rubyslippersreads @britt_brooke Glad I could help with your shopping. 😊 8y

Avanders Lol @rubyslippersreads @elkeo that's sound reasoning to me! Self-control paused... 😜 (edited) 8y

Reviewsbylola Yeah I had planned on doing #nobuyjuly too. Effin Prime Day!! (edited) 8y

elkeOriginal @rubyslippersreads @Jess_Read_This @Avanders @LauraBrook @Reviewsbylola Executive decision made: today is a holiday from #nobuyjuly. We can only practice so much self-control before we lose our sh*t completely, after all. 8y

Reviewsbylola Right, and I truly think it is irresponsible to pass up good deals. @elkeo 8y

elkeOriginal @Reviewsbylola 🙌🙌 8y

rubyslippersreads @Reviewsbylola @elkeo Taking advantage of good deals is just part of self-care, right? (As is that HaloTop Birthday Cake ice cream I ordered from PrimeNow. 😂) 8y

elkeOriginal Ice cream through the mail? WHAT? Let's hope they don't pack it with your books 😆 8y

rubyslippersreads @elkeo 😂😂😂 PrimeNow is local and brings groceries, etc. I was having them deliver cat food, and the cats said I could get myself a treat. The books are coming separately. 😹😹😹 8y

CoffeeCatsBooks I have been so bad on the Prime Day sale. I am banning myself for the rest of the day. 8y

elkeOriginal @rubyslippersreads Your cats are way more considerate than the norm! 🤣 8y

LauraBrook @Jess_Read_This I got The Girl in the Steel Corset, two of the MacMillan collector's library titles (English Fairy Takes and Best Fairy Stories of the World), and 4 British Crime Classics (Resorting to Murder, Murder in Piccadilly, the Santa Klaus Murder, and The Lake District Murder). Plus a few other things, coffee, water bottle, etc . How about you? 8y

rubyslippersreads @LauraBrook @Jess_Read_This Those MacMillan collector's books are so pretty. I have three, but of course crave more. 😄 8y

LauraBrook @rubyslippersreads I had 4, so with these 3, I'm up to 7. And yes, I totally want more. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 8y

Megabooks @Reviewsbylola Yay! I hope you enjoy it! 8y

Megabooks I got The Kind Worth Killing and The Lying Game (Ruth Ware) because my TBR shelf is low on thrillers! @Jess_Read_This (edited) 8y

Reviewsbylola The Kind Worth Killing is good! Curious about the new Ware. @Booksandcooks 8y
