Hey there! I’m so glad you are here!
Hi, I’m Aimee—welcome! I’m a lifelong book lover who shares book recommendations and creative content ideas over on Instagram at @the.paperback.place. By day, I’m an elementary school educator with over 10 years of experience in school administration.
My love for reading started early with favorites like Nancy Drew and Little House on the Prairie. Like many, I drifted away from reading for pleasure during my teen and college years. But when the pandemic hit, I rediscovered the joy of getting lost in a good book.
That renewed passion led me to create my bookstagram—a space where my love of reading and creativity finally intersected.
Why subscribe?
Each month, my newsletter is like a cozy chat with a fellow book lover—packed with inspiration, recommendations, and creative ideas. Here’s what you can expect in every issue:
📚 The Bookshelf
A peek at what I’m reading, loving, or saving for later. This section includes seasonal book lists, themed roundups (like books that made me laugh, swoon, or reflect), and fun collections like Books I’ve Bought But Haven’t Read Yet or Favorite Comfort Reads.
✨ Off the Page
This is where I share everything that fuels my creativity outside of reading. From favorite podcasts and can’t-live-without apps to side projects, playlists, shows, and online communities—consider it your monthly dose of inspiration for a well-rounded creative life.
💬 The Book Swap
A space for YOU. I’ll highlight book recommendations, upcoming releases, or favorite reads from this community. Let’s discover great stories together!
🎨 The Creator Chapter
If you create bookish content, this one’s for you. I’ll share exclusive ideas, creative prompts, how-to tips, and inspiration that goes beyond what I post on Instagram.
🎁 Bonus Bookmarks
This final section is a grab bag of delights—book quotes, quick tips, inspiring articles, bookish events, influencer sign-ups, helpful resources, and even the occasional meme. It’s a little bit of everything that doesn’t quite fit elsewhere but still sparks joy.
