My 2025 Reading Goals
2025 is here and with it comes a new set of reading goals. To be honest, several of these goals are repeats from last year reading goals because I genuinely feel so much better doing them. Without further ado, let’s jump into it. Reading Goal #1 – No reading tally goal I switch between calling…

I’m Doing A PhD About Bookstagram, BookTok and BookTube
It is a strange combination. On the one hand, there are the intensive research requirements of tertiary education and academics, the long hours bent over a notebook, a cup of coffee steaming as the clock strikes midnight, and a near feverish drive to learn more, study more, understand more. On the other hand, we have…

How Bookstagram Has Changed Since 2018
I remember a time where the trending YA books could be counted on one hand, when the cult classics of The Hunger Games and The Infernal Devices were still talked about ardently, TOG was getting more promotion than ACOTAR, and when the kinds of posts that would come across my feed were inherently simpler –…

The Pressure and Subsequent Burnout of Bookstagram
Continuing from last week’s discussion post, let’s dive into the pressures of up-keeping a bookish social media account, specifically a Bookstagram account. I don’t have experience with a BookTok (and I will not be getting one anytime soon) but I will be mentioning booktoks as a part of the pressures of maintaining your brand and…

Bookstagram – A Blessing or A Curse?
Bookstagram, the bookish side of Instagram, has been around for a long time. With reading online spaces like AO3, fanfiction.net for example, and the Millennial Gen-Z social media sphere of X (Twitter), Pinterest, Tumblr, Facebook and Youtube, it wasn’t a surprise that when Instagram came around the book community would flock to the platform. Nowadays,…

Have Libraries Gone Out of Fashion?
In a time of hyper consumerism, you would think that utilising libraries as a means of free reading would be taken up by more readers. After all, the number of books being published in a month is increasing well above the average reading speed of many and the financial strain these book hauls have can…
