Collage featuring Bookstagrammer Lexi of @lexirachellereads in an ornate rectangular frame with her Instagram handle displayed on a silver ribbon at the bottom of the frame. Flanking her on either side are ornate oval frames with photos of her bookshelf and books. The background is rumpled black fabric framed with flowers, leaves, and a dagger in the top left corner.

If you love a cozy aesthetic with a touch of darkness, @lexirachellereads may just be the Bookstagram page for you. Lexi’s Instagram feed showcases a variety of romance and fantasy books arranged elegantly in still lifes that evoke forest hideaways and regal majesty. She also offers content creation and author services for writers looking to spruce up their social media presence! Join us as we get to know Lexi — you, too, may just fall under her bookish spell.

Why did you start your Bookstagram?

My son had just turned one, so I felt like I had more time to focus on some of my hobbies. I have always loved Bookstagram and BookTok, and was hoping to make some friends who also loved reading!

Where are you from?

I’m originally from Utah but am in Idaho for my husband’s residency.

What do you want your Instagram to bring to the world?

I really try to highlight indie authors on my account and hope I introduce others to books they end up loving.

Favorite Bookstagrammers:

yelli3_reads, cosycoffeereader, bookedwithshay, and _thebookchamber.

I would cry if I ever met Samantha Amstutz.
