Hey everyone! I’m so excited for these two announcements this morning.
So let’s dive right in!
Bookstagram
Well, I finally took the leap!
After over a year of debating it, and constantly going back and forth… I finally set up an Instagram account just for books and book-related posts.
Don’t worry, I’m sure I will still be sharing book photos on my personal account as well. But for those of you that enjoy book-only content, feel free to give my new account a follow!
New Logo
AH! This announcement I’m literally bouncing around in my chair as I type this because I am SO pumped about it!
This morning, I had just told my husband Alex that I really need to budget for a new logo design. With the new house, and all those related purchasing needs and projects, our budget for extras is non-existent.
Then the darnedest thing happened… Not even 5 minutes later, I got a message through my new bookstagram account from a fellow book-lover, Megan Del Rio, welcoming me to the bookish community. Then she said, “I make logos (for fun) and I was wondering how offended you’d be if I told you I made you one while I had breakfast this morning.” Followed by cute emojis.
WHAT TIMING!
I was so shocked and pumped. And the logo she created… was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.
My old logo:
This is something that I made using photoshop back when I first started posting about books. I never loved it… I kept trying to do various logo designs on my own, but ended up sticking with this one as the others just weren’t great either.
AND THE NEW LOGO:
WHAT?!?!
This new logo is so perfect and so spot on for my brand. I’m OBSESSED.
Not only is her design work incredible, she also posts lovely bookish photos. Please give Megan Del Rio some love on her accounts! 🙂
Thanks for reading!
Do you have any blogging goals you’d like to accomplish before the end of the year? I’d love to hear about them in the comments below!
Congratulations!
Thank you! <3
The new logo is awesome! Good luck with the Instagram!
Thanks so much!! 🙂
I love the new logo, it’s so pretty!
Thank you! 🙂
We have to savor it when life hands us these little gifts! Enjoy your logo – it really is perfect!
For sure!! After the really rough week I had, this was certainly a wonderful moment! <3
I love the new logo. And how awesome that she made it for you right when you needed it! I just love that. 😉
It was such great timing! I still can’t believe it! <3
Awesome logo! Congrats!!! She did great. 🙂 And yay for Bookstagram! I haven’t posted to mine in ages, I really need to get back to it. #EpicFail lol
Thank you!! 🙂 haha yeah, we’ll see if I can keep up with this one! I have three accounts now… books, photography, and my personal one.
Ooooooo loving the new logo! Have fun with bookstagram; excited to see what you post there.
Thank you!! <3
That new logo is perfect!

Your new logo looks so good and I can imagine you being happy! I can imagine that it feels like you just tipped a coin in a wishing well and “pop” there is your genie from the bottle!
I love following your personal account on Instagram as well, feels like I get to know you a bit better, but I think it’s so cool that you decided to start your own Bookstagram! I will check it out 🙂
<3 100%! It was so crazy and so perfect!! And thank you! I also love when bloggers post personal stuff as well, but I also get why some people prefer to follow just the books :)
Your new logo is beautiful!
Thank you!
That’s a really good logo actually and a good fit for you! Perfect timing as well. I’m spending my time blogging ahead at the moment to give myself more time off the computer next month as I had no time to myself last year with so many blog posts to do! I’ve done the TTT posts up to January and getting ahead in my Books From The Backlog too. That lets me just do my weekend posts, yearly roundup posts, book tags and reviews next month.
Thank you! And right?! It’s so spot on!! Oh that’s a great idea! I need to work on doing that as well. Most of my posts this year were posted the day I wrote them, and that gets exhausting!
I love the new logo and I’d say it was meant to be. I’ll have to make sure to add your new instagram account!
Thank you! <3 <3
My Insta is a mix of real life/personal and bookish photos, but it works. That’s great you started your own Bookstagram account though and omg, I LOVE the new logo!

Your account is one of my favorites!! <3 And thank you so much!!
I love the new logo!! That’s very exciting for you 🙂
Thank you! <3
OMG!!! Loving all the changes! Congratulations on everything 🙂
Thank you so much! <3
Honestly, this is the most perfect timing and I am so glad you were able to have a friend to make such a gorgeous logo. It’s beautiful! And welcome to the wonderful world of bookstagram <3
Right?! How lucky am I?! Thank you! 🙂
Congrats on the new logo! It looks great.
I think I am one of the last people yet to join Instagram. I can barely keep up with my facebook page! Glad you made some friends already. 🙂
Thank you! <3 Yeah, Instagram is a tricky one! I had everything on my personal account, but that was just too much. I'm glad I've finally split it out but I've been posting like crazy trying to get my account caught up! lol
I love your new logo! I stumbled across you new account on Instagram by accident, but I’m so happy I did. 🙂
