2024 has been a page-turner of a year, and Bookstr’s Instagram has been your go-to companion, delivering captivating and relatable content for every type of reader. We’ve shared moments that connected the literary community throughout the year. As we close this chapter and turn the page to 2025, let’s take a moment to relive some of our best posts that kept book lovers double-tapping all year long.
Purr-fect Reads: Cat Graphics and Memes
Nothing brings the bookish community together like a good cat meme, and 2024 had an abundance of them. From beautiful illustrations of feline critters climbing bookshelves to literary-inspired kitty graphics, reading wouldn’t be the same without furry friends warming our laps.
Whether they were curled up in a cozy nook or playfully nudging the pages, our furry friends were always there, providing the perfect blend of comfort and chaos. These stunning illustrations were made by our talented team of graphic designers at Bookstr.
LOL Lit: Memes That Brought Us Together
This year, our book memes hit all the right notes, where we poked fun at our never-ending TBR lists and celebrated our “just one more chapter” mentality. These posts brought humor to the shared struggles and joys of being a reader.
These memes were more than just a laugh; they were a reminder that every reader shares the same quirky, humorous moments, making us feel connected no matter where we are. The funnier side of reading was alive and well, with memes that brought a smile to your face even on the busiest of days.
Reel Inspiration: Must-Watch Videos
Whether it was another edition of Author Questions or premiering our first cinematic book trailer, our video content captured readers’ imaginations. These videos allowed us to engage with audiences in dynamic new ways. Our reels and videos became the perfect medium for connecting with readers visually.
This year, we premiered our very first cinematic book trailer for Barbara Sontheimer’s sophomore novel, The Mutiny Brides. This marked an exciting milestone for Bookstr as we elevated our content by exploring new visual mediums in the literary community.
Flip-Worthy Fun: Carousels that Kept Us Swiping
Another popular type of content that kept our readers reading was the interactive carousel posts packed with swipe-worthy content. Readers loved diving into these multi-image posts that combined stunning visuals with compelling information ranging from our incredible collaborations throughout the year to another edition of Crazy Book Genre recommendations.
These carousels provided a deeper dive into book recommendations and featured author interviews, making them not only visually pleasing but informative as well. We had the privilege of collaborating with Publisher’s Weekly on an insightful carousel post that explored some of America’s leading university presses, highlighting how they do much more than academic publishing.
As we step into 2025, we’re excited to keep bringing you more of what you love. From the latest trends, timeless classics, or a much-needed dose of literary humor, Bookstr’s Instagram will remain your haven for all things books. Here’s to another year of great reads and even greater content!
