6 Bookstagram tips to make your account amazing

Bookstagram is an amazing community on Instagram for book lovers all around the world. But it can feel overwhelming at times, and it’s easy to get lost on the platform. That’s why we’ve teamed up with some of our ambassadors to share their best Bookstagram tips and tricks. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned veteran, it’s always nice to be reminded of why we’re here in the first place: to talk about books!

  1. The best tip would be to remain consistent. You don’t have to constantly read and review books, we can post bookish content to post consistently. Pictures or reels of TBR pile, any upcoming books, and any reading updates are great. – Harsh – @readsandmusic

  1. My tip – Remember that Bookstagram is a hobby, not a job. If Bookstagram feels like work instead of fun, it may be time to rethink your approach. It’s a community for book lovers and that should always come first! ❤️ – Melissa – @nissa_the.bookworm

  1. I think my one tip would be find your niche! Don’t read/post books just because they are popular. If you like children’s fiction, read that and post about that. If you love classics, do that! If queer books are your cup of tea, build your socials around that. You will find your people. Don’t feel the pressure to join niches that aren’t up your alley, just because they are “bigger.” Cause it will drain you of the fun that bookish content is. – Billy – @thereadingcowgirl

  1. I think my one tip would be to stop comparing yourself to others, it’s not a competition of who can have the most followers, it’s to be part of the best community on social media, the book community! 🥰 Post what makes you happy, engage with your fellow creators, and the book-besties will come 🥰 – Frida – @onceuponafridaa

  1. Put your heart in it, make it your passion but it is not about the followers. If it is for followers, then quit. Be creative and discover your own people. – Kimberly -@onceuponamaltesereader

  1. My tip is to never forget why you started a bookstagram: your love for books, talking about books and having fun. Sometimes it can get hard and frustrating when the numbers are low, engagement is non existent, but there will always be a few people who love your content and just make the most out of it! Don’t forget to have fun – Iona – @thesunbooks

ABOUT THE BOOK
🌄 South of San Francisco, a mountain retreat offers something the modern world has forgotten how to provide: silence. The Solen Center offers people suffering from anxiety, distraction, and stress a unique path to relief. No phones. 
🤫 No talking. Only the body, the breath, and a focus on one’s hands. People arrive burned out and leave utterly transformed. 
🔐 But unbeknownst to them, inside the therapeutic practice is a secret that turns visitors into future unwitting operatives, committing acts for some of the world’s most dangerous people, with no memory of having done so. 
👁️ A peculiar nineteen-minute gap in three apparently unrelated crimes leads FMC Lena to the Solen Center. What she finds there suggests thousands of untraceable, unsolved crimes. But the only way to prove it is for Lena to join.

Every year, there are moments when certain books s Every year, there are moments when certain books suddenly get more attention. Black History Month, Pride Month, Asian Heritage Month, and other awareness campaigns fill our feeds with reading lists and recommendations. 👩🏽📕

I love discovering new books through those lists. Yet I find myself asking: why should these stories only get our attention during one particular month? Shouldn’t we all read diverse stories year round? 🧠

As a book influencer, I recommend books almost every day. Thrillers, romances, literary fiction, fantasy - if I loved it, I want other people to know about it. Books by authors from underrepresented backgrounds should be part of those recommendations all year round, not just when the calendar tells us to pay attention. 📆
