So, one of the most cool things about Bookstagram is how it brings together people who are passionate about sharing their love for stories. Beyond just adding to my TBR, I’m constantly inspired by readers who show up with such heart and consistency. Their posts remind me why I love being part of this community.
These are some of the awesome accounts I turn to when I need a reminder that books truly connect us. I see you, I appreciate you, and I’m so grateful for your presence here🫶🏾

A book that…

You still haven’t read. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bunny by Mona Awad has been on my TBR for too long. A marmite book maybe, but I have high hopes.

Tagging you to see which books are haunting your bookshelves still?

This could be us @kennedyryan1 author talk with @kindredstorieshtx was AMAZING!!!

I could listen to Kennedy Ryan talk about her books ALL DAY! She is so intentional with everything she does and the care she takes to ensure accurate representation is evident! Also not to be dramatic she gives transformative hugs!!! Thank you Kennedy Ryan so being so kind and approachable!

@theehottgirlbooks asked all the questions that needed to be asked and facilitated a beautiful conversation!

Also Houston’s bookstagram community is DEEP! I loved seeing so many familiar bookstagram faces! Do I smell a meet up coming soon 🤔🤔🙏🏾.

*sidenote* peep the nails 💅🏾

17.8 seconds of Banter Bookshop.
This is a new (to me) bookstore in Fremont, CA. It was quaint and had a lot of great book selections. Right next store there was a superfood café, which I also took the liberty of enjoying.

It’s unfortunate that reels only let us tag 20 people, because so many of you have become my book besties. So if you’re reading this, I wanna know: What‘s one of your favorite bookstores? 👀

*My faves are listed in my highlights.
