S5E3: This isn’t the first time we’ve talked about online bookish communities (see Season 2 Episode 4, The One Where We Talk About Booktok Parts 1 & 2), but this time we’re turning our eyes to Bookstagram. From blowing up during the COVID lockdown to now influencing the publishing industry and international book charts, Bookstagram is an ever-growing and powerful community, for better, and sometimes, for worse. Ayesha shares her own experience of building a bookstagram account and then we discuss themes we’ve noticed in the community – the good, the bad, and the ugly. If you’ve ever been convinced to get a book based off of someone's Instagram post, listen to this episode to get a behind the scenes look into the world of book influencing!
