Book Review Instagram names

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 Im 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 aesthetic. Ive been following most of these for a number of years and seen them develop their style and photography along the way.

So here are20 beautiful book Instagram accounts to follow in 2020!

@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 Im sat here deliberating which book series I want to start collecting, Silke has them all! Im not jealous at all

@mylittlebooktique

Haleys account has long been one of my favourites and she has one of the most beautiful Instagram feeds. I didnt think I could love it any more but then she went and switched up her theme to include these beautiful brown tones and now Im even more obsessed!

Im 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 Id never seen before.

@emilyhowarth

Emilys feed gives off cosy, autumn vibes all year round and the dark brown tones of her feed match her love for gothic fiction and crime books. Her account is one of the best book Instagram accounts and I love that her feed consists of lots of different types of shots from flatlays to interiors and bookshops.

p.s. her cat is adorable.

@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. Its a unique way of creating images for a platform that [unfortunately] rewards repetition and its refreshing to see.

Whats more, shes an advocate for eco-living, a vegetarian diet and feminism.

@wordchild

Triin has one of the most beautiful, peaceful libraries Ive seen on Instagram. Its absolutely stuffed with books and there are piles and piles everywhere.

Shes got a lovely garden view too and I cant 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 womens rights and occasionally youll get glimpses of her adorable daughter too!

@nikkiinwanderland

Nikkis photos give off a vintage vibe and make me and I feel like Ive tumbled into a time gone by. Her calligraphy skills are out of this world and her copies of Rupi Kaurs poems in her journal are so, so beautiful.

p.s. she has two adorable doggies called Tyra and Arya! [Yes, ARYA]

@maw_reads

Miłkas photos make me want to immediately curl up in bed with a warm drink and a biscuit [or three]. Her feed also has a cosy, autumnal vibe that has me dreaming of colder climates all year round! This account is bokeh heaven to boot.

@stefiereads

Ive followed Stefies account from the very beginning and watched it grow enormously. Its not hard to see why! She is the queen of the #onthebed flatlay, which reminds me just how beautiful a simple open book can be.

@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!

@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.

@pollyflorence

When you search for bookish pictures on Pinterest, some of Pollys pictures always come up so its 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 dont even like candles. Pollys flatlay and interior arrangements make me long for slow weekends at home.

@twirlingpages

Alexandra always has the latest YA releases and Im very envious of her book collection! Whilst I love the above photo and the gorgeous cover, its 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 Alexandras colourful room.

@lookingforabura

Abura posts a mixture of books, lifestyle and travel shots with her signature vintage brown filter. Her feed is wonderfully curated and ever so cohesive with as she seamlessly blends these three themes together. Shes based in Dubai and you should follow along for cute outifts, books and coffee shots.

@coffeeandbookss

Tanbir has the most gorgeous bookish room Ive 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 youll come across on bookstagram. These beautiful pictures are accompanied by captions offering book recommendations, reviews and mini book lists so its great for getting reading inspiration too!

@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

Ive 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
