Summary
I’ve grown really fond of graphic novels over the past few years. They have some really great stories. They also work as a palate cleanser when I’m in a reading slump. Graphic novels are super helpful for bumping the numbers for your Goodreads Reading Challenge. Best of all, there’s a growing number of non-fiction titles being published.
As a library paraprofessional, I encounter many parents/caregivers who don’t share my love of graphic novels. Many of them turn up their noses when their children bring up graphic novels to check out. They still have it in their mind that graphic novels = comic books/superheroes.

In an effort to be a more active member of the book blogging community, I’m planning on making this a weekly post where I share some of the interesting blog posts that have caught my eye in the last week.

Until recently Instagram had two account types: Personal and Business. Personal is just what it sounds like. It’s the basic account that most people are using. No bells and whistles but you’re easily able to share pictures of your life.
Business is geared towards businesses. Many Instagrammers who take their hobby seriously have switched their accounts to business accounts to unlock the insights. The biggest downside to business accounts is you have to create a Facebook page. It’s not hard to do but it feels unnecessary unless you plan on using a Facebook page.
Instagram (and companies) have started to recognize the power of the influencer (including bookstagram influencers). As a result, Instagram has rolled out a third account type: Creator.
