Madison @classic.literature.love
As her Bookstagram handle suggests, Madison is a classics lover. Her Bookstagam offers a dark academia vibe filled with classic book recommendations and reading tips. She doesn’t recommend your everyday classics like Pride and Prejudice or The Bell Jar; instead, she recommends books so old and delicate that the covers almost fall off when she turns the page.
As a mother, she finds importance in recommending classics for kids to help inspire a new generation of classic literature lovers. She has a shop where she sells classic literature merch, such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, and tote bags for all her fellow classic book readers to enjoy.

Beth is a UK-based writer and Bookstagrammer. As a mother who works full-time, she endorses slow reading and spending time with your hobbies. She emphasizes that she is not a Bookstagrammer who reads 10 books a month, but instead just a book lover who takes life as it comes. She loves to pair her reading with a latte or tea, and her entire Bookstagram gives off a delicate and warm, dipped in tea vibe.
Beth also shares self-care tips, and everything about her curated vibe radiates a calming energy. She has an interactive book club on Fable where followers can follow along and read what she is reading. She also has a blog where she shares book reviews as well as short stories, music reviews, and little snippets of her life.
