I’m a recent subscriber to the world of Bookstagram and I find it invigorating, interesting and confounding all at once.
When I signed up for an Instagram account that I was dedicating specifically to all things books and book adjacent (shameless plug – username booknerdcred) I didn’t really know what I was getting into. I love looking at artistic pictures of books, I love scrolling through and seeing book recommendations. My Amazon wish list has grown a crazy amount since deciding about a month ago that I wanted to share my book life with people.
As much as I love to see well thought out, staged, well lit photos. I also really like the photos that are basically “I was at the park today and this is what I was reading” or “you know I showed you I was reading xyz yesterday – I’m on chapter 23 today! How great is that!?!?!” I love to see peoples book lives. Which isn’t always lovely (and that’s ok).
Recently in NY (where I live) Spring has decided well… not to spring. Most days have been gloomy, rainy, cloudy or some mixture of the three. No great lighting here, but I still read and I still love it. From the comfort of my bed at 7am on a Sunday or 1am on a Tuesday.
I want to see all the great shots of books. There are so many people who are more artistic than I will ever be – so I’ll leave that to them.
I’ll continue to share #mybooklife – as not glamorous as it is, join me!
