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!

Hello clouds and cloudettes, I am melting from the heatwave going through Australia at the moment. Thankfully I got to escape the heatwave (for the most part) with our bi-annual Lifeline Bookfest, the biggest second hand book fair in the world! As always, it’s great catching up with local bookworms and getting lots of great bargains. It’s basically two massive exhibition halls filled with rows and rows of books to satisfy the inner bookworm. I’ve been going for years ever since I was a kid, and it’s something we definitely look forward to!

The YA section is quite limited, so we usually get up before the door opens and head in. And it’s all raising money for Lifeline too which is even better!
