Thanks for agreeing to this interview! Let’s begin!
Where are you from?
I’m from New South Wales, Australia.
Why did you start your Bookstagram?
I started my Bookstagram because I missed the account I created back in 2015. I have always loved reading and love to take photos of what I’m reading and share my thoughts on the books I have read. I also love to be creative and take photos; Bookstagram became the perfect outlet for this!
What do you want your Instagram to bring to the world?
I want to share diverse reads, but also books that focus on important discussions like from First Nations authors.
