Claire’s guest today is Bronte Hutchinson, who’s a successful and popular Bookstagrammer. They talked about the logistics of what she does, what she looks for in a book cover, how she organises her to be read pile, and the books she can’t stop raving about.

Is there anything better than matching your dress to your book? I think it should become a new thing 😂 Today has been a day of planning (of Instagram and my writing) at my desk; which also doubles up as my bed. I used to absolutely hate planning but now I can’t imagine where my life would be without it - is this what growing up feels like?!😂 . #fromabove #alliseeispretty #shinybrokenpieces #vintagetypewriter #booklover #instabooks #flashesofdelight #seekthesimplicity #documentlife #postitfortheaesthetic #pursuepretty #theartofslowliving #theeverygirl #ourwhimsicaldays #prettyforum #ofwhimsicalmoments #amonthoflovely #lovely_squares #awakethelight #mybeautifulsimplicity #simpleandstill #itsdarling #makeitblissful #becauseofreading #prettylittlethings

(A note on my book links: they usually take you to Amazon, and I get a few pence per sale at no extra cost to you if you click them and buy from there, which will help me make this podcast viable long-term. But better than Amazon, who are, let’s be honest, not the greatest, is Blackwells or Waterstones, or, even better, your local independent bookshop. If you live in the US or elsewhere further afield, you can find UK books at Book Depository (also owned by Amazon) at a good price and with no postage cost, or sometimes at Wordery.com, or you can buy them from Amazon US, or, even better, an independent bookshop.)
