What is Bookstagram (aka what are bookstagrammers)?
Bookstagram (aka #bookstagram) has become a movement. Bookstagram is a hashtag (#) shared by a community of book-loving maniacs (a term of endearment) on the social media platform Instagram.
It’s a relatively recent phenomenon (as of December 2018), but has exploded in popularity and practicality.
There are countless book blogs, book bloggers, and bibliophiles out there who have had their lives changed by the invention of this hashtag.
The best bookstagrammers post photos of their bookshelves, books near coffee mugs, candles, photos of them reading in bed and more. Bookstagram is a fascinating and welcoming space for all bibliophiles.
What is a bibliophile?
According to Google, the definition of a bibliophile is a person who collects or has a great love of books. At Hooked to Books, we just call them friends. 🙂
Can you make a living reading books?
Yes, you can make a living reading books! Thanks to the internet, people are making salaries that are comparable to (or exceed) the median annual income of the United States doing things never before dreamed of.
Sharing your love of books as a bookstagrammer, book blogger, or book rep has become a genuine way to earn a living.

Where is Hooked to Books heading in the future?
We’ve got a serious vision for growth, but what exactly will Hooked to Books look like in the future?
First and foremost, we’ll continue to expand our vision to bring you the best book reviews and gadget reviews on the internet. We also provide reading tips and writing advice.
But that’s not all! We’re also committed to bringing value even beyond our community. We offer Scholarships for college students, and we’re aiming to implement more Giving Back programs in the future.
One of our current ideas is to support a non-profit such as roomtoread.org, firstbook.org, littlefreelibrary.org, or treeneutral.com. We’d love to hear from you if you have other ideas or insights into these organizations.
