For a while now, I’ve been turning to Instagram for inspiration and pretty things in this dreary world. That means lots of fun bookstagram accounts, and lately, bookish art departments! They showcase many pretty behind-the-scenes gems from the people who give us gorgeous covers to drool over.

Happy following!
