Indulgence Insider #71 – July Book Haul

July 30, 2017 by Jeann @ Happy Indulgence | Books, Features, Indulgence Insider

Indulgence Insider is our version of Stacking the Shelves, Bought, Borrowed & Bagged and the Sunday Post, bringing you this week’s haul, bookish news and discussion posts from around the blogosphere!

It’s been a while since the last Indulgence Insider, but with 1.5 months left until the wedding, it’s all full speed ahead! In between organising my guests, wedding stationery, dress alterations and trying to exercise and eat healthy, blogging has definitely taken a back seat with this all happening. Oh yeah, still also trying to organise our 18 day honeymoon in Hawaii. We’re going to Big Island, Oahu and Maui, so send me all your tips please.

Just letting you guys know that Jenna is currently on hiatus. She’ll be back when she’s ready, but if you get the chance, send her all your love and support.

This week, I watched A Monster Calls on Monday which was a really intense, emotional and impactful movie. I haven’t read the book yet, so I had no idea what I was in store for, but it was a really moving experience.

Current Giveaways: Win a copy of The Build-Up Season by Megan Jacobson!  Australians only, ends 13 August.

THANK YOU for the 5K

I’ve reached 5,000 followers on Twitter and I can’t quite believe it! Thank you everyone for the support and listening to my bookish tweets and sometimes rants.

    • Thank you so much Shannon, I’m sure she will appreciate it. I can’t believe either, it’s all happening so fast but I keep on panicking lol. We haven’t even booked our Hawaii accommodation yet! It’s all thanks to the support of lovely people like yourself. Haha I’ll have to come check out your thoughts on the book soon, sorry I’ve been so slack with commenting!

    • I know, I can’t believe it’s all happening so fast! They are going well so far, but not without a few hiccups. I can see you reading it on GR, I hope you are enjoying it because I’m looking forward to reading it! Have a lovely week, Nick.
