Read & Gush November: Autumn Colors

There are so many different Social Media Platforms around, it can be overwhelming.  And then throw in all the "games" that are played on them... well I totally understand why trying to build your own platform on one is too much to even attempt.

But Book Bloggers looking to expand into Bookstagram (a subgroup of Instagram) have no fear, we are here to help you.

For those of you who already are on Instagram, and want to reach the users of #bookstagram or #currentlyreading this is your place too.

And of course, there are those of you who have been on this journey with us for the last couple of years and love the community we have...

So what are we?

We are a monthly photo challenge to help you stay motivated and consistent on Instagram.  We provide daily prompts to guide your photos and your captions so you never get bored or stagnant in your posts.

We are a community of book lovers who simply want to find our tribe. The place where other book lovers can get together and gush over all things books any time of the day.

Before the month starts...

Share the challenge image in your stories, with the hashtag, maybe even tag all the co-hosts so we can shower some love on you.

We have an official Instagram page, so you can see everyone's interpretations of the prompts and engage with each other.  This is the best way to see your numbers grow on Instagram.  Follow along here: Read & Gush 

Or even, follow the co-hosts!
