I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m happy to be here 🥹🫶🏻

There’s a recent bookstagram trend going around where people are lamenting the way things used to be. Whether it’s that review posts are dead or that we can’t post a simple static image without spending hours on edits in Canva or that the algorithm is changing, the list goes on and on. I’m seeing a lot of this conversation and it got me thinking about why we’re all posting here anyways. So I took some time to think about it and this is what I came up with.

Thank you to everyone who has made my first few months on this platform such a joyful experience. I can’t wait to read more books and make more friends 🫶🏻

Scrolling scrolling scrolling and saw “Dolly All the Time” and my brain yelled “hey, I’m reading that too!” And then I clicked on your bookstagram and enjoyed your posts! Looking forward to chatting about books with you!
