My friend and I started this bookstagram but I’ve been personally trying to grow it recently. I’m “leggy”. Is there anything I can do better? I’ve been thinking of going reels but showing my face on the internet is a little scary. I want a community of people who actually read and talk about books!
Hello there book buddies 👋😊
If you have a moment, I would really appreciate some advice! I started up my bookstagram awhile ago as I got back into reading fantasy all the time, and I especially love to highlight new releases and indie books. I fell off around May/June and have been struggling to figure out where I might have gone wrong.
I'm not the most social media savvy, and have a faceless account, but I've had a lot of fun putting together my posts. I can't seem to find my community though, and I got a bit burnt out with the loneliness. I love every one of my followers but I'm feeling a bunch of tension when I think about sitting down to put hours into another post.
I want to try and revamp my account! I really want to come back but I don't think my current setup is working.
Could I ask... is there anything standing out to you... Positively or negatively?
Some things I can think of...:
I found my profile photo on Pinterest, and asked the artist for permission, but I'm starting to think it could be AI and I've been working on drawing up my own to replace it.
My reviews are also a bit on the long side, maybe I need to shorten my content?
I don't really have a cohesive style, so it looks a bit like earthy whimsy and a toddler smeared crayons.
Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated! 💕
I'll be grateful if you showed some support and reviewed my stuff! Thank you!

I haven’t stopped reading but I did take a break from bookstagram since I wasn’t posting often anyways. Tonight I posted my intro post and am hoping to commit to it more and be involved in the community! Take a look and let’s talk books! (Ps yes I use chat gpt for some of my images as I’m a working mom with an 8 month old who is like the energizer bunny but include my own images as well!)
Hi all! I’m Randall, and I’ve recently become more active on bookstagram and would like to connect with more readers :) My handle is @readbyrandall (link in the replies!)
I mostly read literary fiction, horror, scifi, and fantasy (but honestly I read a mix of genres most of the time lol).
Feel free to comment your username and will follow you back! Also would love to hear what’s your favorite book so far this year :) Thank you!
Starting a reading room on IG.
The idea is simple, we read 20-30 pages a day and try to build a consistent streak together. Nothing fancy, just a small group of people who want to actually finish the books they've been meaning to read.
If you'd like to join, drop me a DM.
Follow! ill follow back! For a journey of books, stationery and all things cozy ❤️
Been at this for 3 years now and I can’t seem to grow at a consistent rate. I see people who started theirs a month ago and they have thousands of followers. Any advice?

I am starting a faceless bookstagram because I want to have fun with it. I really do not want to comment on other people's accounts in the hope of earning followers or anything like that. Is it still possible that people will be able to see (and hopefully like) my account?
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to grow my Instagram and chat with anyone about all things book.
I’ll be following back anyone who follows me for a little while! If my account isn’t for you, that’s no problem but thanks for considering anyway!
If you’re running one, share your @ below. I’d love to add each other, support each other’s pages, and build a small circle of creators who lift one another up.
I’m stepping back into writing and reading again, and I’m genuinely excited to reconnect with my creative side. Let’s grow together.
I just signed up to be an ARC reader. Basically, I think that I will be able to read books for free before they are published in exchange of a honest Amazon review. Anyone else has tried this before?
Hey! The title pretty much sums up my message. But I'm super excited to connect with other bookstagrammers and get new book recs! Follow me on IG: kaysfootnotes!

I’m trying to grow my little bookish corner on Instagram, but lately I feel like my account is SO stuck
Hi all! I just made 100 followers and I’d love to make a few more! I’m hoping to do a few unboxing reels soon and post more of my graphic novels! I’ll follow back and I won’t unfollow soon after either. Most importantly, I’ll engage with your content. Drop your @ or link below!
Like the title says, looking for more book friends. Located in New England. Usually post book reviews as posts not videos, but something I’m open too. Love to read all types of books. Also comics and movies as well. I’ll follow back as well!
