Read & Gush Wraps up Summer

Can you smell autumn in the air yet?

Yeah, it still feels like summer here...

Granted I have chatted with many of you on Instagram and you are feeling the change of the season already, and I'm a little bit jealous... only a little though.

Autumn is one of my favorite seasons because it's so vibrant... the leaves acting like flowers, the air fluctuating between warm and cool... the annoying bugs finally starting to fade away...

But then it's over in a snap so I don't want to rush it.

Anyway, it's time for another Book focused Instagram challenge.  This is the perfect chance to help plan out your posts for the month, to help you get at least one post a day on Instagram  And we all know that the Instagram game is quite the challenge in itself, so this helps you plan, and then know where to start your engagement each day!

Post your picture, and then search out the hashtag "ReadGushSept18" to engage with others - like, comment, follow... it's a sure way to get some traction. If you want more tips on how to start growing your Instagram, I have a few posts you can check out here.

But for now, check out this month's challenge.

As always, jump in and out as you want!  And if you have any questions leave them here, or jump over to my Instagram and ask me there.

I hope you will join in... just follow me on Instagram and check it out! And please follow my lovely co-hosts - they are super sweet, you will love them, I promise!
