I've already done a post on my favourite books from before Bookstagram (link here!), but ever since I got into the community I've started reading loads of favourites from the people I follow. Here are some of my favourite books that I read because Bookstagram loves them! Throne of Glass - Sarah J. MaasI used to always walk straight past all the fantasy YA at the bookstore and library, but as everyone on Instagram seemed to love this series (and everything else by Sarah J. Maas) so I decided to give it a try and I really like it! I've read three books of the series so far, as they are quite big so they take me a while to get through, but I'll definitely get the fourth book soon! Everything Everything - Nicola YoonThis book was entirely different than I expected, with the pictures and drawings and the big twist at the end (no spoilers!). I really really liked this as it was a quick, cute read with images, which too few YA books have, in my opinion. I'll Give You the Sun - Jandy NelsonI'll Give You the Sun is easily one of my favourite books and it made me get back into drawing and painting, which I used to love when I was younger. I like the LGBT representation without it being a big deal and how no one in this book is completely black or white, everyone is grey. Anna and the French Kiss - Stephanie PerkinsStephanie Perkins is super popular on Bookstagram, so I had to read her books. I saw Anna and the French Kiss most often, so I started with that one, but I loved it so much that I quickly read Lola and the Boy Next Door, which I loved even more! I've now just bought Isla and the Happily Ever After, which I'm very excited to read! The Selection - Kiera CassI don't know what it is about this series! It's just so magical and enchanting that it got me hooked and reading the whole thing within two weeks. Loads of diverse female characters and a cute love story; what's not to love? The Hate U Give - Angie ThomasAnother one of my favourites ever. This book really hit me and I think everyone (especially white people) should read this, as we really don't understand the issue of racial profiling as we feel it is so far away from us. This book brings the issue up close and personal so we can maybe start to understand and offer our support. Those were six of my favourite books that I read because of Bookstagram! Honestly, at least half of my All Time Favourites are from Bookstagram, so I'm very grateful to have found them! What are your favourite popular books? Let me know!
