Lorna of @lornasbookcorner
Why did you start your Bookstagram?
When I got back into reading, I wanted to join a space that was passionate about books as much as me. After contemplating for months on starting an account, one day I thought, just give it a go. The best decision I made!
Where are you from?
I’m from Nottingham in the UK.
Favorite Books and Authors:
Some of my favourite books are:
The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
Boys Of Tommen Series by Chloe Walsh
The Beartown Trilogy by Fredrik Backman
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
The Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas
I still think about these books all the time. My favourite authors are Fredrik Backman, Kristin Hannah, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and Abby Jimenez. I’ll read anything they write!
TBR List:
I have around 100 books on my TBR which is ridiculous; I’m trying to cut it down. Demon Copperhead, 11/22/63, and The Goldfinch I’m determined to read this year but I’m so intimidated by them!
What’s Your Special Approach to Content?
I try to create a “happy and positive” theme but I’m not strict on what I post. Some days I’ll put in a bit more effort, it all depends on how much time I have.
Aesthetic / Instagram page theme:
Colourful and vibrant! I share book reviews, hauls, and a lot of book stacks to hopefully give people one recommendation.
How often do you post?
Around 2-3x a week.
What does your Bookstagram mean to you?
This community is like a big book club that I’m grateful to be a part of. Everyone is so welcoming, supportive, and genuinely lovely. If you’re thinking of joining Bookstagram, just do it!
Thank you to Lorna for chatting with us! Her feed has us all ready to grab the nearest blanket, light the most comforting candle, and drift off into bookish peace. Make sure to follow @lornasbookcorner for new recommendations and aesthetically pleasing posts.
