#Bookstagrammer Spotlight: @hannah_reads_

If you have a love of reading and aren’t yet indoctrinated into the world of #bookstagram, you’re missing out! I was introduced to this community earlier this year, and to say they’ve been a safe haven and a source of joy and inspiration during the pandemic is an understatement.

So, I want to share this magical world with all of you! Even just scanning the #bookstagram hashtag is sure to give you warm fuzzies and brighten your day, but I want to introduce you to some of my very favorite follows.

My first pick was an easy one: @hannah_reads_. Hannah was one of the first #bookstagram accounts I came across, and we quickly connected over college athletics. As many of you know, I’m a sports business reporter in my other life, and Hannah works in college athletics. Even though the college athletics world is small, I hadn’t run into Hannah until #bookstagram. She is such a lovely and genuine soul, and I know her bookish feed will warm your heart just like it has mine!

I asked Hannah a few questions so we can get to know her better…

What’s your favorite genre to read? Historical fiction by far! I love being transported to another place & time and being able to learn a little bit in the process.

What are you currently reading? I’m currently reading More Than a Woman by Caitlin Moran. I can’t count the number of times I’ve laughed. She’s hilarious & I’m thoroughly enjoying it!

What’s been your favorite read of the year so far? I’m going to give Code Name Helene the slight edge over The Book of Lost Names. Both are WWII historical fiction and so incredibly well done. They each feature badass females and that’s just my favorite thing.

What’s your day job? I am the assistant director of media relations for the Southern Conference, a DI mid-major athletic conference in upstate South Carolina. In short, I do press releases, generate conference statistics, maintain our website, and generally work to promote & celebrate the successes of our student-athletes & member institutions (among so many other things!).

What does #bookstagram mean to you? Honestly, #bookstagram has helped keep me sane this year and I’m so incredibly grateful for this community. I expected to find a place to talk books with other book lovers, which I have, but it’s turned in to so much more. I’ve found people to talk about life with & made friends who genuinely care about me as a person, not just a reader. Though I’ve met very few of my booksta friends in person, I know so many will be friends for life & that’s so rewarding.

The hubby @seegreatart and I took a road trip to F The hubby @seegreatart and I took a road trip to Fort Pierce, FL this weekend to see the latest Florida Highwaymen exhibition at @aebackusmuseum. 🎨 

My hubby has written extensively on the Florida Highwaymen, and we are lucky to get to see so much of their work here in Florida. This group of more than two dozen African American painters captured the Florida landscape in bright, vivid colors from the 1950s on. They could often be found selling the paintings out of the trunks of their cars. 

You used to be able to nab these paintings in garage sales around the state from people who didn't know what they had. However, those days are long gone. Now, these paintings can go for tens of thousands.

One of the original Highwaymen, Roy “R.A.” McLendon, was in attendance last evening. How work hangs in the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture.

Have you ever seen these paintings around FL?

The woman blushed and seemed embarrassed that Lucy had caught her looking through the shelf. "Do you have Hydrangeas on Hill Street?"

"I do." Lucy nodded, moving to the left of the woman and plucking the title off the shelf. "I read it when it first came in. It's a lovely book."

"I feel a little silly." The woman opened the book and turned it so Lucy could see the author photograph on the back flap. "It's my first book. I still get a little thrill every time I find it in a bookstore." Her cheeks still flushed pink, her eyes not meeting Lucy's.
