If you’ve ever claimed you don’t have time to read, we’re calling you out. Patience Randle makes her living as a freelancer designing websites and taking photos, but it’s more likely that you know her by the Instagram handle @inkandfable. Ink and Fable has 13.6K followers, and it’s all thanks to her love of reading and talking about books.

Bookstagram is sort of like the new Oprah’s bookclub. It’s truly insane the amount of influence bookstagrammers have over what people are reading.

The bookstagram community isn’t afraid to speak their mind, and they inspire change when they see a need for it.
