15 Rad Bookstagram Accounts to Follow
Every few months, I find myself scrolling through Instagram, searching for beautiful bookish people to follow, known as the “Bookstagram” network. I end up scrolling for days, screenshotting gorgeous reading nooks to try to emulate in my own home. You know the type — picture-perfect bedrooms with string lights and canopies and vintage teacups.
Some are classic Tumblr bedroom readers. Some have elaborate photoshoots with their books. Some take their books on all their adventures with them. Some are simple and elegant, with white backdrops. All of them are gorgeous.
Here are some of my favorite Bookstagram accounts. Be careful not to double tap on anything too old when you stalk these beauts.
1. ice_cream_books. It’s exactly what it sounds like.
