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!
Hi guys, I broke my phone on the weekend, so I’ve been offline for most of the week which has honestly been a great detox. It’s actually amazing how good it feels but I’m happy to be back too! Jenna’s still on hiatus and Aila’s travelling through China and then getting ready for college, so I’m not sure how available we’ll be for the next few months.
Anyway yes, I’ve gotten a new phone now (Galaxy S8 which is AMAZING) but I still need to wait for my phone number to be ported over. Can you believe it takes a few days?!
So for my mandatory wedding update, it’s all happening and I can’t believe we’re getting married next month! Now we’re down to the fun stuff, like writing our vows and putting together our guest seating plan *chokes*

I ended up reading 5 books last week for the Booktubeathon, which I was pretty happy with.
I fully intended to add my July wrap up here too, but that’s just going to have to come another time. Watch my booktubeathon wrap up below or on my Youtube channel!
