I said bookstagram. And, if you’re unfamiliar with what bookstagram is – it’s a what and I suppose also a place? A digital place, to be more specific.
Bookstagram is, quite possibly, the quaintest and kindest space on the internet. Let me share a few examples 👇
It’s full of book people – so you already know it’s wonderful. I could just stop there, but I won’t.
I find SO many amazing book recommendations – like this list (cough….cough)
I’ve found my calling – taking book photos. Why do I love it so much?! I’ll never know.
Okay okay, I’ll stop raving about why I love bokstagram so much and get to the real meat and potatoes here.
I asked my community what their TOP book recommendation was.
So, you know, the book that ends up being their go-to when a friend, family member – even a foe – asks what they recommend for right now.
I also think it’s especially pertinent these days while we’re ALL AT HOME. Yeah, sorry for yelling at you but it’s true. We’re at home, so maybe if you’re up for the challenge – find a new favorite book. Who knows, perhaps it’s even right here in this list?
Let’s go.
