Finding Bookish Community Online - Bookstagrammer Round Table

Text the Bookcast and say "hi"!It's Chapter 61 of the Bookcast!This month, I sat down with three amazing Bookstagrammers - Grace Filer, Clay Mattox, and Jessica Berg - to talk about the Bookstagram community and each of their unique approaches to being a part of the ecosystem. We talk about a ton of books, but also about talking about books and building community around a shared passion for reading. Grace Filer is the Cofounder of If Books Could Thrill, a thriller book club in the metro OKC area and she’s been on Bookstagram for 2.5 years.Grace's Bookstagram: @gracevelynreads Clay Mattox is a reader who rediscovered a love of books in adulthood.
