100+ Bookstagram Hashtags

UPDATED VERSION: 100+ More Bookstagram Hashtags

If you've been playing the Instagram game for a while, you'll know all about the importance of hashtags - hell, even if you're new to Instagram, you'll probably know that hashtags are one of the best ways to get exposure for your account. Instagram is well known for being a little bit sensitive with hashtags though, and there are always rumours flooding the internet that if you use the same hashtag so many times, Instagram will reduce the exposure of your content because they think you're spam, or something like that. I guess that's good? But Instagram, we don't all have a spare couple of hours to trawl the hashtag section to find new ones!

Enter me.

Bedridden this afternoon and bored as an insomniac bat in the middle of the day, I decided to put myself to use, and find a whole long list of Instagram hashtag for bookstagrammers to use.

I've heard that its best to use a mixture of popular and less popular hashtags on your posts, so, not only have I compiled a list of hashtags, I've also found the number of posts each hashtag has. The gigantic table below is organised by popularity, with the most popular at the top and least popular at the bottom. It is in two columns, because a single column was too long for a single page here on my blog, so the second column is a run-on from the first.

Not every one of these hashtags is explicitly bookish related, some were just semi-common ones I had saved in my phone for some particularly odd reason, but I've included them here in case you want to be wild, and mix your hashtag game up a little. Some are also quite specific to particular photos, but I've included them anyway out of interest. Also, this is by no means an exhaustive list, I can now think of about ten that I fogot to add when I was compiling this list (but 130-ish hashtags is enough, right?)

All stats are (mostly) correct as of 27th Jan, 2019. Unless, of course, I've transposed them wrong, which isn't impossible. I'd also like to ask you, kind souls, not to judge me too harshly if I've made any spelling mistakes. My eyes began to gloss over words around the 30th hashtag, and I'm fairly certain there are 130 on this list. So, have a giggle on me.

I put them into random, handy little groups of 27 first, so you can cut and paste them and save them in your phone, with room to add three super specific hashtags when you post. They're mixed in size, with some very popular hashtags and also some smaller ones (remember, apparently the max hashtags you can use in a single post is 30).
