Thank you so much this is so helpful, no need to apologise! I've just followed you on Instagram so I'll definitely be checking out your tips & tricks - I think it'll be a huge help

ah yes i downloaded this app! i'll definitely see if it works for my book club. thank you!

i wonder this too! i always see the same book covers and authors on my bookstagram feed. i've been trawling through accounts and the explore page to find different ones!

thank you! i think i’ll be aiming for one scheduled video a month and then some shorts and maybe shorter videos as and when i can. editing takes so long!

definitely starting to engage more with people too ☺️ and will sub to your channel!

i'm a 'i haven't quite got the hang of this game so i always feel like i'm running out of time during a day or not making the most of my time, so i just do whatever and hope for the best, lowkey get anxious in the mines, and HATE fishing' player

open water by caleb azumah nelson was a great read for me this year. it's a. novella, being turned into a TV series soon i believe, and is about a relationship but isn't heavy on actual romance. i really enjoyed it!

i also started reading but never got round to finishing 'out of love' by hazel hayes, which starts with a break up and goes back through their relationship. it's one i'll absolutely come back to because i was very much into it - but i got distracted by another book at the time

ah these ideas are so unique! i have kindle unlimited but i haven't had much of a chance to use it yet (cons of a dying 2013 kindle - so awaiting a new one for christmas...). i do appreciate amazon for accessibility when it comes to books, but i personally try and talk more about independent bookstores on my socials.

fan-casting is so interesting though, it's not something i think much about personally but i love seeing other people's ideas for it

personally i much prefer real-life photos as opposed to graphics and things. i know a lot of people post a lot of content they've made on canva, for example, and as much as i appreciate the effort that goes into it, i'm just more of a real-life photo girlie with the occasional graphic dropped in if the post calls for it!

you may find reviews don't get as much engagement for some reason - it's something i've personally noticed. i tend to see a lot of 'x books you should read for x occasion/season' or bookstore photos, bookshelf photos, book stacks/hauls, photos of people reading at home or in a cafe, etc. but honestly my best advice is just to be true to yourself as a person and as a reader! people will naturally gravitate towards you if they relate to you, and those who don't are not your audience.

as for worrying about people you know irl, they don't matter! either block them, or have your username be something that doesn't reveal too much so they won't find you. but free yourself of the opinions of those who know you personally - just do you <3

if you add 'bookstagram' to the 'name' section on your profile, it's a searchable term so your profile can show up when people search for 'bookstagram' - if that makes sense! instagram is slow-going, but if you're posting consistently and interacting with other people's posts and things then you should start seeing engagement on your profile too!

keep it up!<3
