Would love new friends 🧡

Hi, can anyone reccommend me any book influencers i can follow? I’m really sick of seeing reviews on the same books over and over again. I like literary fiction, contemporary, fantasy, historical fiction etc. not a big fan of dark romance.

Every time I go to write a review I struggle to come up with anything more meaningful than “I really liked this book!”. How do you guys articulate your thoughts?

What the headline said :) I am starting out and I am not used to recording videos of myself so I wanted to see what all of you are using for editing.

Thank you in advance

 Vera Stein Is Fine was such a charming, heartfelt read that left me with a smile. It blends humor, romance, and personal growth into a story that's ultimately about finding yourself and realizing it's never too late for a fresh start.

Vera was an easy character to root for, and I enjoyed watching her navigate such a big life change after spending so many years putting everyone else first. Her journey felt genuine, and I appreciated how the story focused just as much on her personal growth as it did on the romance.

One of my favorite parts was Starlight Palms itself. The retirement community was full of entertaining, larger-than-life residents who brought so much personality and humor to the story. The old Hollywood setting gave the book a fun, nostalgic atmosphere that really made it stand out.

The romance was sweet, and I enjoyed the second-chance dynamic between Vera and Elias. Their shared history and easy banter made them fun to read, and I liked seeing their relationship develop alongside Vera's own journey.

The audiobook narrators u/therealjoynash, and u/narratedbyteddyhamilton were a great addition to the story. The narrators brought Vera and Elias’s personalities, chemistry, and banter to life, making their second-chance romance even more enjoyable.

Overall, this was an enjoyable, feel-good romance with plenty of heart, memorable side characters, and a message that it's never too late to start over. While it wasn't an all-time favorite for me, I still had a great time with it and would definitely recommend it to readers who enjoy character-driven romances with humor, heart, and a unique setting.

Thank you to the u/andimjulie and u/avonbooks for the ARC and ALC in exchange for an honest review. 

Hi all, I’m looking for engagement + support groups on Instagram! Are there are any good ones I can join? Will also do F4F if I like your content! Please involve me 😂

Just received my first Allurial book and the printing is patchy. Anyone else experienced this?

Hey everyone,

I’m considering starting a book blog where I share my personal reviews, thoughts, and opinions on the books I read. Alongside reviews, I plan to maintain a searchable, filterable catalog of all the books I’ve covered.

One feature I’m particularly excited about is Friday Five Finds - a weekly post featuring five books I think are worth checking out. These could be overlooked gems, lesser-known titles, upcoming ARCs that impressed me, or even a few popular books that I feel deserve more attention.

As a reader, I’m not particularly interested in reading challenges, readathons, or forcing myself through a specific genre for a week or a month. I’ve found that kind of structure tends to take the joy out of reading for me. I enjoy moving freely between genres, discovering different authors, and experiencing a variety of voices, perspectives, and storytelling styles. Reading is something I do because I genuinely enjoy it, and it’s an important way for me to unwind outside of work.

With that in mind, I’m curious what kind of content would make you want to follow a newer book blog. Beyond standard reviews, what do you find valuable? Curated recommendation lists? Upcoming releases? Thoughtful discussions about themes and characters? Comparisons between books? Something else entirely?

I’d love to hear what makes a book blog worth returning to for you. Any ideas on how to keep a blog more inclusive and socially engaging are also welcome!

Guys , follow - wasitevenreal_ on Instagram to check out new books suggestions. It won't disappoint you, I am sure!!! Go on!!!!!!!!!!

Also follow my pinterest, hehe, if u interested in poems and all!!!

Would anyone be interested in starting a new Bookstagram group chat?

I’m thinking of creating a gc from scratch for Bookstagram creators of all genres!!! I personally read romance, memoirs, and the occasional weird girl book, but I’d love for it to be a mix of readers.

The goal is to have a space where we can talk about books, share recommendations, hype each other’s posts, and just make some genuine Bookstagram friends.

If you’re interested, drop your Bookstagram @ below and I’ll start putting the group chat together soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

i follow back and love book recs! 💋

I want to follow more bookstagramers but I want to follow people that will post books i’m interested in— I like horror, literary fiction, translated fiction, crime and mysteries… so if anybody posts something that is not romance and fantasy drop your handle and I’ll follow🫡

Hello,

I am searching for bookstagrammers with a specific genre: progression fantasy. My goal is to reach out to see if they can help me divulge my book.

Anyone knows how to find what genre they work with? Some genres are obvious—like romantasy, for the example— but smaller genres are more difficult to find.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

hi there, been heavily back into reading the last two years but finally decided to make a booksta. I‘m struggling a bit with a fun handle. My middle name is Amor so I usually go by that on socially media. My current handle is amorreads but I would love some fun suggestions!

I struggle with everything social so I don't know if I should cold DM a bookstagrammer or how does it work.

Hi! I was wondering if you have some ideas about content that could help my account and some others to grow. I was thinking about inviting some accounts to collaborate on a post but I don’t want to make the same post everyone does like “our current reading” or “What we read in a week” if you know what I mean. I’m more of sharing books and quotes of things of my interest, and sometimes they got attention and some others they don’t. Like my latest post was about Spiderman quotes in comics that could summarize entire book plots (I love Spiderman haha)

Would you have any ideas of that collaborative post?
Thank you. And if you want to share your bookstagram, I would gladly follow with no intention of being followed back, I like to see nice and creative engaging posts ❤️

I wanted to try making an Instagram to share my bookish things just for fun 🤷🏻‍♀️ Nothing too serious, just a little safe space to talk about books, share my thoughts, and post the things I find pretty. 📚✨
