If you’ve not participated in an Instagram post challenge before, you can start now, haha! For the month of May, the post ideas are outlined for each day. If you are not able to do the exact challenge, be creative and make it your own. The most important part is to use the hashtag LitHappens #lithappens. This allows everyone participating to find all the bookish readers, writers, and creators.
