I love books. I also love Instagram. Ergo, I love Instagrams that are all about books and literature and fictional characters and … you get the idea, yes? Yes! Not only do I love anything that promotes reading, I also love happening upon books I haven't read, books I've forgotten about, and books I love unreservedly. If you're a book lover, join me in following these Instagram accounts – and start taking snaps of your own books!

Book Soulmates is the co-gram of two best friends who love everything about books. They've got a cute blog, but the insta is especially gorgeous.
2. @booksandbeans
Here's where you can get both things you love best in one place - books and coffee. You're going to find some great recommendations and plenty of other followers to discuss the stories with.

Gorgeous photos and surprise book inspirations! Rissi is also a ridiculously talented writer.

This insta is devoted to vintage books. It's my happy place. There are over 2,000 posts on it, I once lost myself for two hours.

Natalie's book recommendations are by turns on point and whimsical, and her photography is unfailingly funky and surreal. Two thumbs up!

As an Instagram account for a bookshop, you know this is an extraordinary insta. It's one of my top favorites, if only for the quirk.
16. @bookstorefinds
This, too, is one of my top favorites, as it consists of exactly what the name implies: random amazing book store finds!
