bookstagram challenge | august 2016

For the month of August, I have collaborated with one of my faves aka @twirlingpages  on Instagram to create a August Book Photo Challenge!  I will be explaining what each daily challenge means in this blog post and I will include a few examples to clarify a few of the prompts. If you plan on participating or if you have any questions, please let me know!

1. august tbr – books you’re planning to read throughout august
2. romance novels – post a photo of romance novels that are your faves or maybe just romance novels in general
3. pink + green books – since it’s national watermelon day, it only makes sense to post a photo of pink + green books
4. fave bookish squad – this one might be kind of difficult to explain, but squad = group of friends (ie. the unexpected everything, the mortal instruments, harry potter series, etc.)
5. book + sports – either a book that has to do with sports/has sports involved or books + a sport you play
6. minimalistic cover – a cover that does not have too much going on (example: 1, 2)
7. favorite bookish friendship – this one is similar to bookish squad except this one is basically just two people rather than a whole group of friends (ie. tris + christina, gus + isaac, etc)
8. books that made you smile – a book that made you happy/smile 🙂
9. all time fave books – it’s book lovers day so post a photo of your all time favorite books
10. laid back book(s) – a book that was easy to read, didn’t cause too much emotional damage
11. book related to politics – rather than explain this one, I’ll just give a few examples: the unexpected everything, the hunger games, divergent series, etc.
12. favorite bookish siblings – example would be the weasley siblings, cath + wren from fangirl, laura jean + kitty from tatbilb, etc.
13. book stack – stack a bunch of books on top of each other and take a photo + post it to instagram! (example: 1, 2)
14. book + unique facts about you – post a photo of any book that you would like and in the caption, state a few unique facts about yourself!
15. peach colored books – i know it’s pretty difficult to find a “peach” colored book so orange will do for this day!
16. fave author collab – sometimes two authors are better than one, post a photo of your favorite author collaboration for a book (ie. my true love gave to me, you know me well, never never, burn for burn series, etc)
17. fave place to relax – is it by the beach? is it in your bed? is it on your sofa/couch? hammock? etc. post a photo of it!
18. used books – i personally think that used books are underrated, but there is also a part of me who loves new books that have not been touched by others. anyways, post a photo of your used books!
19. poetry books – this one might be difficult because I feel like poetry is a hit or miss and probably not many people own poetry books, but if you do (ie. milk and honey) post a photo of it! if you don’t have a whole book dedicated to poetry, post a photo of a book that has a poem in it
20. funny books – post a photo of a book that made you laugh! 😀
21. book + music – this one is my fave! post a photo of a book + music (cd album, iPod, etc). example: 1, 2
