The Evolution of Bookstagram

The digital book world has transformed dramatically since its inception, and few people have witnessed this evolution as closely as Genesis, the creator behind Whispering Chapters. Long before BookTok exploded and before most of us even knew what "Bookstagram" meant, Genesis was sharing her love of stories through carefully filtered photos and thoughtful reviews.

In this candid conversation, Genesis takes us back to 2013 when Bookstagram was in its infancy – a time of heavy filters, unplanned aesthetics, and a completely different approach to engagement. 

Whether you're a content creator navigating similar challenges, a reader looking for authentic recommendations, or simply curious about how book communities have evolved online, this conversation offers honest insights into the past, present, and future of digital book spaces.
