I saw this tag over at Life Love Read and I absolutely loved it ❤
I have been in a bit of a bookstagram slump so I am hoping this post gives me the motivation to kick it back up!
What’s your Instagram handle?
@perfectlytolerable1813
I have a personal one as well, but this one is just for bookstagram!!
How long have you been in the bookstagram community?
My first post was February 26th 2018, so a little over 8 months ago. At first my Instagram was bookish themed but I also included non-book related pictures. I changed it to exclusively bookstagram on March 28th 2018
How many people do you follow?
2,502
How many followers do you have?
980
I didn’t realize I was so close to 1,000!! I will have to do a giveaway when I get there!
What are your favorite hashtags?
#books #book #read #reads #reading #bookdragon #bookstagram #bookblogger #bookoftheday #bookpic #perfectlytolerable
What is your theme?
My theme has changed a lot.
It started out as miscellaneous:
Then it went to alternating a black background with non-black backgrounds
Then it went to alternating black and brown backgrounds
Then it went to all brown backgrounds
And finally it is back to miscellaneous backgrounds:
I like alternating the dark and light backgrounds best. That way I don’t have to stick with light brown and black. It is my goal to pick that back up and perfect it!
How often do you post?
I started out posting a couple times a week but I am down to a couple times a month, but I want to get back to weekly!
How often do you check Instagram?
Daily! I look at other bookstagrams when I am bored.
What’s your favorite filter?
I like Clarendon, Lark, Juno, X-Pro II, and Lo-Fi!
What is the best part about being in this community?
Getting to nerd out with all the other book bloggers!!!
What is the worst part about being in this community?
I haven’t really encountered a worst part? I guess I have had some people comment on my pictures just to tell me I should check out their Instagram and that is kind of annoying.
Three favorite IG accounts currently?
Oooh this is pretty much impossible to answer. I don’t pay attention to who posts the pictures 😦 I just look at all the pretty pictures! And because I am following so many people I don’t think there is any good way to find out which are my favorites?
What are your favorite Instagram pics you have taken?
I am not going to tag anyone because I wasn’t actually tagged, but if you decide to do this tag please let me know so I can check out your cool pictures!!
Let me know your Instagram Handle in the comments and I will come check you out! I love cool pictures of books ❤
I never even thought about alternating backgrounds, but it does make your feed look cool😁

Nice photos, I like the image of the Harry Potter series. I’ve only been book blogging a few weeks but I’m learning bookstagram is a gold mine for great reading recommendations

Confession: I never think of Bookstagram! I have a bookstagram account (@DeathbyTsundoku) but I don’t do much with it. I am hoping to expand this a bit more during the #ThanksgivingReadathon I’m hosting later this month. Perhaps you’ll join up and show me a thing or two about how to Bookstagram?! Because these photos: Beautiful.

Haha I go in waves!! usually when I am posting my OwlCrate prompt pics I am really good and then I fall off the wagon for another month! I have never done a readathon because my schedule is too unpredictable and random but I might do the bookstagram part of the challenge! That sounds fun 😀

Haha– this is the same reason I’m hosting the booktagram challenge. Gotta keep it at the front of my mind. I hope you’ll participate– I’d love to learn a thing or two from your posts. 🙂
