Why did you start your bookstagram?
It truly inspires me so much to have a bookstagram account. When I started, it was simple, and I was just trying my best to be creative. Then, I met so many people and seeing their photos triggered me to be serious and make my feed more bookish! I was inspired by so many people and how they show their love for books – it made me do it too.
Where are you from?
I’m from the Philippines!
What do you want your Instagram to bring to the world?
I want to inspire people through my photos, and I want to show them how books changed my life. I want to show them how we can be so creative through books!
Fun fact about you:
I always love to cook with my mom. I also dance and sing!

What’s your special approach to content?
Actually, there’s nothing special about my content. As long as I continue my creativity and show my love for books, and as long as people love what they’re seeing in my content, I’m happy.
Aesthetic/Instagram page theme:
I’m trying to have very rustic vibes in my photos.
How often do you post?
I normally post every day, but since I’m pretty busy at home and work, I post every other day.
What does your bookstagram mean to you?
Ahhh! This community means very much to me. It has changed my life! I’ve met various people who also love books and have so many friends all around the world! I’ve gotten a chance to share my love of books through this community.
Favorite Bookstore:
Fully Booked is always my favorite local bookstore! If online, it’s Amazon or Barnes & Noble!
Who would you have supply you with a lifetime supply of books?
Hmmm . . . Kindle, Quirk Books, Sourcebooks, Macmillan, and myself :D
Author you’d like to take a selfie with:
I’d definitely want selfies with V. E. Schwab, Jay Kristoff, and Alexandra Christo.
Favorite book cover:
I can’t pick just one, sooo I’ll be saying a few of my favorites: Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco, Bookish and the Beast by Ashley Poston, and Wicked As You Wish by Rin Chupeco.
Book you have claimed to have read that you haven’t:
The A Darker Shade of Magic series! I’m planning to, I swear!
When did you know you had made it as a bookstagrammer?
I didn’t know until someone gave me a shout-out in their stories and people started talking to me! They gave me tips, and they helped me grow as a bookstagrammer.
Favorite fandoms:
Grishaverse. Attack on Titan. Food Wars. Disney!
Advice for aspiring bookstagrammers:
Just be yourself. Don’t stress too much about what content to post or how to make a photo perfect. Also, don’t stress out too much about algorithms! Everything you do with love will always be perfect. Also, talk to the other bookstagrammers out there. They always share their tips on how to make your feed as beautiful and aesthetic as you want it to be! Making friends is always the best part of this community! I’ve learned so much from this community, not just about books, but also about the reputation and culture of each individual as well!
Oh, also join photo challenges! They will help you to be more creative!
Additional bookishness:
I’m a moody reader and a slow reader, but that didn’t get in the way of reading the books I love. I sometimes join book clubs and read-a-thons! I also love to hoard books, and it’s always fun!
