For those interested, I have begun compiling a list of people in the spotlight who often share what they’re reading on Instagram and by often I mean posted more than 3 times. Feel free to leave a comment with a suggestion or @ me on Twitter with a suggestion (I’m @melodysimpson) and I will be sure to update the list as soon as possible. Here we go!
Last Updated: 1-15-15
Aly Michalka (Hellcats)
Aly has posted about Andy Weir’s The Martian, Lena Dunham’s Not That Kind of Girl, and Jonathan Tropper’s This Is Where I Leave You among many others.
Singer, Ameriie
Ameriie not only instagrams books but booktubes as well which is pretty cool. Follow her and subscribe because she is legit!
Wildlife Conservationist, Bindi Irwin
While Bindi doesn’t often post photos in which we can see the cover of the book she’s reading, one we did get to see in all its glory was Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater.
Busy Philipps (Cougar Town)
Busy often posts pictures of books that she plans on reading to her kids but has geeked out over Elena Ferrante.
Emma Roberts (American Horror Story)
Emma has posted many photos of Stephen King books as well as a number of YA books like We Were Liars by E. Lockhart.
Also, on a slightly different note, I feel like the Kevin Bacon of YA is Lauren Oliver because if you do a six degrees of Lauren Oliver, you’ll find your way to not only Emma Roberts but Ameriie, and Jenna Ushkowitz, and that’s just who I’m aware of on this list! Pretty cool. And while I’m at it, some shameless self promo, you can read my love letter to Delirium by Lauren Oliver here.
Evanna Lynch (Harry Potter)
Evanna is a fan of YA, MG, biographies, and book on the craft of writing and acting. She also tweets authors she has read which is also pretty awesome.
Jenna Ushkowitz (Glee)
Jenna has also posted about E. Lockhart as well as Paulo Coelho and I can’t wait to see what makes it on her feed this year.
Kat Dennings (2 Broke Girls)
Kat is a fan of mysteries, John Bellairs, and France. If I had to guess, I’d say she’s a francophile like me!
Kate Bosworth (Still Alice)
Jonathan Franzen, Donna Tartt, and Karl Ove Knausgård to name a few.
Lena Dunham (Girls)
Lena has read Rebecca Solnit, Megan Amram, and Amy Poehler and that’s just the beginning. She visits many indie bookstores and shares photos of her hauls so make sure you’re following her if you aren’t already.
Reese Witherspoon (Wild)
Reese has read B.J. Novak, Liane Moriarty, J. Courtney Sullivan, and David Sedaris among others. And who knows, maybe she’ll post a photo of a book that she plans on producing in the future!
If you know of someone that should be on this list, be sure to comment or give a shout out on Twitter so that I can make this list as comprehensive as possible. Thanks!
