if i said #bookstagram didn’t change my life, i’d be lying.
i started my bookstagram (aka books on instagram) account a year and a half ago and it’s allowed me to open up to all the fantastic things: this blog, reading more, internet friends… i could go on and on. i feel like i don’t show my appreciation half as much as i should, so i’ve decided to share some of my favorite bookstagrammers and share the loooooooove. in no particular order, here are some accounts you should follow:

i love jeanette’s use of color! everything is beautifully vibrant and has a cute pink hue, which i looooove. also, her shelf makes my heart sob as it is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. all the hardbacks.. and it’s organized by color! my eyes!
_forevermint
cherry is one of the nicest and cutest people on bookstagram! i love all her pictures and her wardrobe makes me want to dive into her closet and steal borrow everything. her account makes me happy~
bloomsbery
ava is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet. (actually, come to think of it, all the people i’ve mentioned so far are the best and i love them, but that’s like everyone on bookstagram so…) she sent me a letter for christmas and i suppose we’re pen pals now so THAT’S COOL. especially since i admire her pictures so much!
graceslibrary
technically speaking, i found grace on booklr (books on tumblr) first, but i couldn’t stop myself from adding her onto this list because i loooooove her pictures. everything is GOALS.

karmen’s pictures are always spot-on. she has a remarkable eye for color and matches cute related-or-not things with the books. they’re the besttttt.

alison’s account is one i always visit if i’m struggling to add creativity to my posts. i like how she shares things that aren’t always bookish but can still hold an account that’s considered “bookstagram” (aka something i aspire to be). there’s travel and food and candles and interior and I LOVE IT.

lucy’s white sheets make me a very very happy person. i love the way she pairs books with other props, but everything is undoubtedly clean.

i’ve gotten to that point in the post where i keep repeating myself and saying “I LOVE THIS PERSON’S PICTURES AND ACCOUNT” and i’m sorry, but that’s all i really want to say. I LOVE THIS PERSON’S PICTURES AND ACCOUNT. monica is fabulous. that is all.
urooj.reads
urooj is one of the most creative (and nicest) bookstagramers i know of! one of my fave pictures by her is the recreation of the instagram logo in book form, which you can see here.
julia_lovesbooks
last, but certainly not least, julia! all her photos are wonderfully clean and cozy (my kinda pictures hehe). if you think my room is nice, you clearly haven’t seen julia’s. (julia, if you’re reading this, please share more pictures of your room!!)
I have said this a lot of times. Calista (@insidethebookreader) will forever be my favorite. The creativity of her eyes made her pictures so stunning!!! :)))
I love bookstagram! Everyone is so lovely, and it’s a wonderful space where everyone can be so creative. Some of my favourites are: @lucythereader @themilelongbookshelf @ccovertocover @wordelixirs @sherrygloss 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing this! I’m always looking for new accounts to follow (seriously, I follow 1189 people!), and all of the people mentioned take stunning pictures.

I have so many favourites I can’t even remember them! I also love bookstagram, it’s just so much fun to look at pretty pictures of books! I’m leaning towards starting my own, but I am still debating, because its scary.
I love these accounts too! <3 Each one of them is so unique and they're all beautiful.
I hadn’t seen some of these accounts so thanks for sharing! I love how cohesive all of these accounts are, as mine often feels a bit all over the place. I’ll have to visit some of these for inspiration!
Honestly I have been toying with the idea of bookstasgram for SUCH a long time. I started an account a few months ago, but because inspiration comes to me in random bursts when it comes to photography, I don’t post frequently!! I NEED HELP FIGURING OUT MY LIFE UGH
Okay but seriously this post makes me want to stare at these accounts foreverrrrrr. SO PRETTY. I don’t even know if I can pick a favorite! A lot of these are new to me, actually, so I can’t wait to check them all out aka go through every single one of their pics and like them. And lol, I feel you on the descriptions!!! Sometimes all you can do is stare wordlessly at the gorgeousness.
Love love love this post! One of my new fave instagrammers is @paperfury! Her pics are SO GOOD. And of course, YOU are one of my favorite bookstagrammers! I can’t believe you’ve only been doing it for a year and a half. So crazy you’re already a celeb! 😉
You are the absolute sweetest! I know I keep telling you this, but you’re such an angel & I just want to take you shopping lmao so we can bond over cute clothes haha. A few of my favorites (besides you ofc and everyone mentioned above) include: infinitelynovel, alice.in.wonderbookland., readsleepfangirl, and acrossthepages <3 p.s. your blog is the epitome of cute!
I didn’t know most of these, so thanks for introducing me to them! They have such gorgeous photos <3
They take such beautiful photos! Found some really awesome Instagrams, thanks! I have too many favorites to list! ^^
So many amazing accounts! I love these spotlight posts to discover new bookstagrammers <3 Thanks for featuring!
