Important Announcement – Bookstagram 2020 Cancelled
What is Bookstagram?
#Bookstagram = Instagram for books.
While Instagram users usually post selfies or beautiful scenery, Bookstagrammers post all about books and their love of reading. Bookstagram is a great way for readers to connect, discover great new books, and share their own ideas on what they read.

Bookstagrammers from all over the World will descend on Hay on Wye in Wales between the 3rd – 5th of April for three days of book-related events.

Final times, locations and details will be published on Instagram and updated on this website soon. But to give the organisers a bit of a heads-up, please let them know if you’re going. Just write a message on Instagram to Charlotte @theroamingreader or Kerstin @lostinphrases or to @bookstagramhay with your name and what you’d like to attend.
Also, start having a hunt around for books you don’t need anymore. They will be hosting a Book Exchange so you’ll be able to swap your unwanted books for something you want to read!
