One of my favorite projects for my job at Book Riot is running the tri-annual #RiotGrams Instagram challenge. Three times a year for one month, I develop a series of daily prompts that encourage sharing and highlighting favorite books and reading-related habits. Over the course of doing this now for a few years, I’ve found so many great new books and made some excellent connections with other book lovers, both during the challenge and well after, with roundups like this one.

I did a bit of traveling in February this year, so I implemented a new method that I think worked even better than taking the photos for each of the prompts on the same day. It can be overwhelming and cause creative burnout to take 28 unique photos in a single day. This time, I took them a week at a time, when I had the time and creative zest. That made traveling easier, too, since I had everything on my phone already to upload and share. As you’ll see, too, I found ways to incorporate that very travel into #Riotgrams.

If you’ve always wanted to take part in a fun Instagram book challenge like this, keep your eyes peeled. There will be another one come June. Captions for the images note the prompt theme of the day.
