Behind the scenes of #bookstagram…including what we like and what we don’t (i.e. the Instagram post Tina thought was going to do great, but didn’t).
How to see every post from the people you actually want to on Instagram.
We compare our reading taste by debating 2 thrillers we felt differently about.
