Want to know who the most popular bookstagrammers and top bookstagrammers to follow are? These bookstagram names run some of the best bookstagrams out there and your shelves will soon be spilling over from all their recommendations!
Bookstagram (“book instagram”) is a community of book lovers on Instagram. We love to share beautiful pictures of our favourite books, bookshops and libraries.
Today I’m spreading the bookish love and celebrating some of the best bookstagram accounts out there. I follow a wide variety of accounts on Instagram, some for their aesthetic, some for the in-depth book reviews and some for the amazing bookstagrammers who run them.
This list is dedicated to beautiful bookstagram accounts that inspire me with their creativity and book aesthetic. I’ve been following most of these for a number of years and have seen them develop their style and photography along the way.
So here are 20 beautiful book Instagram accounts to follow in 2023!
@james_trevino & @elizabeth_sagan
James Trevino & Elizabeth Sagan are two of the most creative bookstagrammers out there. They’re also probably the most famous bookstagrammers as James’ account has rapidly grown to almost 300k followers and Liz’s is almost over 200k.
This pair take their books and make creative scenes featuring using very impressive photoshop skills. They also create book dominos which are mesmerising.
This bookstagram dynamic duo run two of the best Instagram book accounts out there so be sure to follow them both!
They also run the account @mybookfeatures, where they repost some of the best bookstagram content out there!
@whatshotblog
Now a shameless plug for my own bookstagram account, @whatshotblog. I post about books, bookshops, libraries, literary travel and more. Basically all kinds of aesthetic book pictures!
Literary travel is my passion and I’ve made it my mission to discover all the best bookish locations around the world.
@wordchild
Triin has one of the most beautiful, peaceful libraries I’ve seen on Instagram. It’s absolutely stuffed with books and there are piles and piles everywhere.
She’s got a lovely garden view too and I can’t help but be jealous of the shots of her sat at the table with a morning coffee, light streaming in through the window.
Triin is also a loud advocate for women’s rights and occasionally you’ll get glimpses of her adorable daughter too!
@katieelizabeth_reads
Katie’s Instagram is a mix of toppling book stacks, bookshops and handwritten reviews. Every single one of her pictures is gorgeous and her stories are funny too.
She’s also a fellow linguist and frequently posts about her progress in learning Mandarin and Korean (and her kpop obsession!). This is one of the best book accounts on Instagram so give Katie a follow!
Also, if you love adorable dachshunds then you’ll love Maple, Katie’s pupper.
@coffeeandbookss
Tanbir has the most gorgeous bookish room I’ve ever laid eyes upon. With a large multi-coloured bookshelf covering half the wall and a beautiful gold-framed mirror occupying the other half, reflecting even more books, this is absolute #interiorgoals.
@coffeeandbookss is definitely one of the most aesthetic Instagram accounts you’ll come across on bookstagram. These beautiful pictures are accompanied by captions offering book recommendations, reviews and mini book lists so it’s great for getting reading inspiration too!
@clumsy.words
Kathleen of @clumsy.words is usually seen with a large bundle of books in her arms. Her feed is full of wonderfully messy bundles and stacks but my favourite pictures are those of her using her books and clothes to blend into background walls. Wondering what that could mean? Check out her feed to find out!
@frombeewithlove
Bronte is the queen of creative storytelling and calls herself a modern femme fatale. Her creative shoots and photoshop skills amaze me with each new post that pops up on my feed.
She chooses a theme each month and develops a story around it which she shares each day with her followers. It’s a unique way of creating images for a platform that (unfortunately) rewards repetition and it’s refreshing to see.
What’s more, she’s an advocate for eco-living, a vegetarian diet and feminism.
@silkreads
Silke runs one of the best book instagrams and her beautiful bright white, almost monochrome, feed is so aesthetically pleasing it hurts.
I love that her book collection contains loads of classics but lots of new releases too. Whilst I’m sat here deliberating which book series I want to start collecting, Silke has them all! I’m not jealous at all…
@mylittlebooktique
Haley’s account has long been one of my favourites and she has one of the most beautiful Instagram feeds. I didn’t think I could love it any more but then she went and switched up her theme to include these beautiful brown tones and now I’m even more obsessed!
I’m not a huge fan of coffee or tea but somehow Haley makes me want to buy my own coffee machine and press so I can make cold brews just like her.
She also has the most insane collection of classic books, especially some super cool Korean editions I’d never seen before.
@thebibliotheque
@thebibliotheque is one of my favourite bookstagrammers because she is so passionate and emotional about all the books she gets excited about.
Her perfectly curated feed is made up of yellow and white tones and her bedroom is #goals! If you love romance books then this is a bookstagram account you need to follow.
She’s even published her own popular romance book – The Spanish Love Deception. How incredible is that?!
@pollyflorence
When you search for bookish pictures on Pinterest, some of Polly’s pictures always come up so it’s clear that many look to her for inspiration.
She is the queen of homey, rustic photos and she makes me want to buy all the candles, even though I don’t even like candles. Polly’s flatlay and interior arrangements make me long for slow weekends at home.
@twirlingpages
Alexandra always has the latest YA releases and I’m very envious of her book collection! Whilst I love the above photo and the gorgeous cover, it’s really the photos of Alexandra on her bed, hiding behind a good book (or a stack of books) that I really love.
If such a thing as #bedroomgoals exists then it was made for Alexandra’s colourful room.
@seelieknight
Viktoria is an amateur photographer and book lover from New York. Her photos have a rustic feel with many photos being taken outside in what looks like the countryside.
Her account is a great example of what it means to have a beautiful and consistent Instagram feed, which I would only dream of emulating. Viktoria herself also features in many of her photos and her striking long red hair is absolutely gorgeous.
@julietslibrary
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Juliet a few times in real life and she is as sweet in person as she is online. Her feed is stunning and features interior shots and flatlays alongside cafe outings.
These pictures will make you want to grab your latest read and head out the door for a solo afternoon cafe date.
@foldedpagesdistillery
Folded Pages Distillery has been one of my favourite accounts since I started posting on bookstagram.
The amount of bookish and Instagrammable stuff that she has is simply incredible and allows her to create these magnificent flatlays that are usually in theme with the book featured.
One day I will accumulate (and find somewhere to put) all these bookish goodies…
@crimeofrhyme
This account has a lovely theme with brown tones and is another page that makes me wish I liked coffee!
She frequently posts pictures of her books in cafes and coffee shops and this is the perfect account for making you wish you could curl up with a mug of tea, a good book and a plate of biscuits 🍪
@prettybookplaces
If you want to see a round-up of all the best bookish posts including bookshops and bookish interiors then you need to be following @prettybookplaces. It’s run by Johanna from @beautelicieuse and she shares beautiful book photos that she discovers on Instagram.
Use the tag #prettybookplaces for the chance to be featured and have a scroll to see all the beautiful places you could explore!
There’s my list of over twenty of the best bookstagrammers out there who are creating beautiful and creative content. But if you gave me the time, I could carry on listing top bookstagram accounts to follow!
There are so many passionate bookworms out there posting beautiful pictures of their bookshelves, their reading nooks and their books on adventures around the town so you should definitely check out #bookstagram on Instagram if you haven’t already.
Who are some of your favourite bookstagrammers or favourite bookstagrams to follow?
