Check out my TBR Highlight on Instagram

Hey fellow bookworms and Instagram addicts! I've been getting so many questions about my aesthetic TBR Instagram highlight, and honestly, creating it was one of the best ways I’ve found to keep my reading organized and share my literary journey. If you're anything like me, your "To Be Read" list is probably miles long, and what better way to celebrate it than with a super cute and functional highlight on your profile? First off, why even bother with a TBR highlight? For me, it's about more than just organization. It’s a visual diary of my reading goals, a place to revisit books I’m excited about, and a fantastic way to connect with other readers. Plus, let's be real, an aesthetic highlight instantly makes your profile look more put-together and inviting! So, how do you make yours truly aesthetic and keren (cool)? It all starts with your highlight covers. Think about your personal style. Do you love vibrant colors, like a sparkling, colorful background that really pops? Or maybe a minimalist vibe with clean lines? For my TBR highlight, I adored the idea of a whimsical, anime-style character with blonde hair and glasses, holding an open blue book with "TBR" clearly displayed. It perfectly captures my love for both books and a fun, unique aesthetic. You could use custom-made icons, cool illustrations, or even simple, text-based covers in a cute font. Whatever you choose, aim for consistency! A cohesive look across all your highlight covers makes a huge difference. Next, consider the content you'll add to it. Besides showing off specific books you plan to read, you can include: Mini-reviews or initial thoughts on books you've just added to your TBR. "Book haul" snippets when you buy new reads. Polls or questions asking your followers which book you should read next. Wishlist shots of books you dream of owning. Quote graphics from books you're excited to dive into. Don't be afraid to experiment with different themes. While my highlight is bright and playful, I've seen some absolutely stunning aesthetic highlight IG black themes that are super chic and mysterious. Imagine dark, moody covers with subtle book outlines or elegant typography. It really depends on the vibe you want to give off. You can find tons of free icons and templates online, or if you're feeling creative, design your own using apps like Canva. To actually create it, it's super easy: Post a story with the content you want to include (e.g., a photo of a book, a text graphic about your TBR). Once the story is live, tap the "Highlight" icon at the bottom. Choose "New" and give your highlight a name (like "My TBR Stack" or "Books to Read"). Then, go to your profile, tap on the new highlight, and select "Edit Highlight." From there, you can choose your custom cover from your gallery! Building an aesthetic TBR highlight is a fun project that lets your personality shine and connects you with the amazing bookish community. It’s a little corner of your Instagram where you can celebrate your love for reading. What kind of aesthetic are you going for with your next highlight?
