It's that time again where there are 1000's of free books available for download!  I love supporting indie authors and honestly just finding new authors and stories this way!  I have SO many books on my kindle that I will always have options!  If you're new here Stuff Your Kindle Day (also available for Kobo, iPad, Nook, & Android) is a day where many independent authors offer their books for free.  It's a fantastic way to find new tropes, genres, and authors to add to your library.  I personally always look on my computer, but that is also why I created this post to cut down the 1000's of books into the genres that I prefer. I have highlighted Romantasy (my top favorite), sports romance,  and I also left the keywords so you can use CTRL+F to search on here as well.  If you want to check out the full site click here - we don't believe in gatekeeping in the book community!

I can't believe it's already August! This year is flying by already.  How are you doing in your reading challenge? How is your Instagram growth?  These are two of the things that I have evaluated for my mid year check in and I am pleasantly happy with both! Of course I would love to see my Instagram grow even more, but honestly I started it for a fun outlet to share what I'm reading and to find others who are also readers!  My book goal is out of control honestly.  Nursing has made it so that I'm reading constantly on my kindle since I am doing it for around 3 hours a day still!  If you want to check out in depth reviews my Goodreads is linked here. 

If you came here for some bookstagram content ideas check out the ideas below along with new releases this month and a special highlight of new Kindle Unlimited releases too!  I am an avid reader so KU is so worth the money for me.  

If you're looking for some ideas for what to post on Bookstagram look no further. I compiled some ideas for what to post in July. I highlighted some fun holidays although there are a few more you could definitely incorporate as well. A few other that you could easily incorporate for your booksta are:
July 4th - Alice in Wonderland Day - Share a flat lay of the book, or highlight your favorite retelling!
July 8th - Love Your Skin Day - Share a flat lay of your favorite skincare products that match your bookstack
July 9th - Fashion Day - Share your DOB - Drink, Outfit, & Book
July 11th - 7-11 Day - Snag a slurpee that matches your current read
July 15th - I Love Horses Day - Share your favorite cowboy romance featuring horses (check out Elsie Silver!)
July 17th - National Tattoo Day - Do you have a bookish tattoo?  Do you want want?  Share with us!
July 20th - National Lollipop Day - Share all those lollipop book stickers we know you have! 
July 31st - Harry Potter's Birthday - Share your favorite book, or throw in your favorite fanfic!

Hello booklovers! We are back at it again browsing through the Romancebookworms.com for their Stuff Your Kindle Day. If you're new around here I am an avid reader and love a good deal, and what's better than snagging some free books? Now although it says stuff your Kindle, you do not actually have to use Amazon and go thorough Amazon or use the Kindle app (my preferred method).  If you go to the main page you are able to select you preferred retailer and then search the books.  You can use Amazon, Barnes & Noble Nook, Apple Books, Kobo, or Google Play.  Once you select your retailer then you can search by categories to find the books that you want. 

As a reminder these books will not all be from authors you know, which is the fun part in my opinion!  It's a great way to discover new authors, genres, and test out what you like because there is no cost! Plus it's a great way to support these authors by sharing about it as well since most are indie authors.

I searched through the categories and put together what books I am interested in and suggest.  Just a reminder that if you want to scour the webpage I highly suggest doing it on your computer so that you can ctrl+f for keywords for what you are interested in - I suggest that on here too!! Also, sometimes there are errors so when you click on the book make sure that it shows the price as $0.00 as shown in this image to the right! 

I just shared Stuff your Kindle day, but coming back at you with a Fantasy edition!  Fantasybookdragons.com is offering free Fantasy books on January 1st 2024 this year. I highly suggest heading to the webpage and doing it from your browser just like I recommend for SYKD as well.  That way you can search by genres.  I went through the list and checked out titles that sounded interesting to me and linked them below for you to make it a little easier if you don't want to search through the whole page. There are not as many as the Romance books, but after looking these are my picks that I plan on snagging once they are free!
​As always double check that the books are free before "purchasing", some are already free right now too!

I've been in the Bookstagram world for about a year now and I can personally say that I absolutely LOVE it!  It is such a fun community where you can not only share your love of books and reviews, but get so many recommendations, reviews, and a sense of comradery with fellow book lovers. I have found that sometimes I don't know what to post, and have tried to find inspiration with others but I don't want to just copy what they are doing. 

Although some months have traditional holidays, I love finding the "fun" ones or the more obscure ones and turning them into a way to make content!  Obviously December has well know holidays such as Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Years eve, but I had so much fun finding other days to celebrate and create themes around.  
Dec 1- National Women Support Women Day
Dec 3- Candle Day
Dec 11 - International Mountain Day
Dec 12- Gingerbread Day
Dec 13- National Cocoa Day
So many cute ways to create content and not just for bookstagram! If you are a lifestyle or mom blogger too these would be perfect ways to theme your content as well!
