10 Instagram accounts we use to pull us out of our reading slump
The year is close to an end and its hard not to think of the promises we made to ourselves last year. Some were easier to manage, like drinking atleast a drop of water everyday ( :P ), others, a little harder. Like actually reading those books we’ve been ignoring for all this while. Throughout our year, these kind strangers, by instagramming their reads, helped us steer our course of reading. Hoping that they might help you too. For next year you know!
Lost in Books
Bartek runs a this Instagram channel and a literary blog by the same name.
We turn to him when we are in need of the sound comfort of great literature.
Relationsheep
Mathilde Maire, the lady behind this bookstagram channel lives in a city most of us would kill for. Paris!
Her photos are full of shots of Parisian gardens, palaces, cafes and cats. We don’t think she knows anything about a reading slump.
Lotte Likes Books
Lotte, a 23 year old literature and media student marches ahead with a seventy thousand readers hooked up to every long caption she writes.
If she, being a student can pull off reading 80 books this year, we wonder about ourselves.
Read Write The Craft
We know her strategy. She keeps posting pictures of gorgeous bookshelves after bookshelves till we can’t help but give into the beauty and dig into a book ourselves.
We particularly like the quotes on reading she pulls up. Thankyou for your hardwork! It helps 11 thousand of us beat the reading slump.
Book Pairings
Laci Long, the owner of this account is based in San Francisco. Apart from the great recommendations she makes, we get to peep into the beautiful indie-bookstores of Frisco.
Ursula Uriarte
We need to be honest here. There are probably thousands of photos of genuinely nice readers picking up a book against a background. But when Ursula does it, one can’t help but notice those gorgeous tattoos too.
Those travel photos help too.
Fiderly
A 19 year old with a following in hundreds of thousands. This read, sleep, fan girl is our bookish celebrity.
Her account is choc full of great recommendations of both books and bookish accessories that one can splurge on.
The Book Ranter
Emilie, a 20 year old student weaves magic with her Instagram account.
Looking straight out of a Harry Potter movie, her book recommendations are wrapped in magical photos of dusk and forests.
We are ever so slightly jealous!
Proper Thieves
Jeddie, the girl behind the instagram channel. We often wonder, how talented can one be?
One has to read the captions to understand that her writing is as powerful as the images she is able to take.
Bow!
Book Baristas
Natasha is the chief book barista while she has contributing writers serving us hot drinks and hotter reads.
We find the style of her photos quite uplifting and her recommendations always up to date with the latest amazing books hitting the shelves.
Have you ever encountered a reading slump? Or recovered from it? Tell us know how!
