I’ll admit I was a little slow to hop on the Instagram bandwagon. Okay, as someone who joined this year, I was a lot slow. If I had known the magic of Bookstagrams—Instagram accounts focused on shelfies, book porn, micro reviews, quotes, and a profound love of books—I would’ve signed up much sooner. If you need your Instagram feed to be filled with fewer photos of your friend’s lunches (I’m that friend, you’re welcome) and more photos of your next favorite book, check out these 15 stunning Instagram accounts.
1) @nypl
