Advice for aspiring Bookstagrammers:
Be consistent. Don’t look at the numbers. Find yourself and don’t try and do things that stress you out. Find a few set-ups and themes so you can make it fun.
Additional bookishness:
Bookstagram is such a special place to so many but has been going through so much darkness lately. We really need to just focus on our love as a community of books.
