Why did you start your Bookstagram? What do you want your Instagram to bring to the world?
I started my Bookstagram because I wanted to discuss the books I was reading, and I had no one to talk to about them. So after a lot of thought and after looking through different platforms, I decided that it was the best platform for me.
Where are you from?
England, United Kingdom
Favorite Books and Authors:
My favourite books and authors are: The Rule Breaker by Stephanie Alves, Taming 7 by Chloe Walsh, Somehow Still You by Samantha Anne, Write Me For You by Tillie Cole, and He Falls First by Jill Shalvis.

What’s a book on your TBR you’ve been putting off reading, and why?
Seven Summers by Paige Toon. I’ve heard it’s absolutely heartbreaking, so I’m preparing myself.

I own all of the Elsie Silver books. I just haven’t picked any of them up yet.
Name a publisher/publishing company that never misses with their new releases?
What’s Your Special Approach to Content?
My approach to my content is to be myself. I’m naturally a girly person, so my account is very pink and totally screams me.
Aesthetic / Instagram page theme:
Florals, bows, pearls, and all the pinks and purples.

I use Canva, Lightroom, and Procreate when it comes to finalising my posts for my account.
What do you like most about Bookstagram?
The community and finding new authors to read. I’m big on supporting indie authors, and I’ve found so many new favourites on here.
Advice for aspiring Bookstagrammers:
Just be yourself and have fun with it! If you want to grow, you need to be consistent and engage, not just with those you follow, but also with those you encounter whom you don’t already follow. Just don’t put too much pressure on yourself; otherwise, it’ll start to feel like a chore more than a hobby.
