I am doing the Book Riot Instagram Challenge #RiotGrams this October. This is the first such challenge that I am participating in. Needles to say that it is exciting and challenging to look for books for various prompts and it’s interesting to see diverse range of books for a prompt. What also adds to the fun is that I get to show off my books too. 😉
I thought of doing a round-up of my posts for this challenge on my blog here for the benefit of my readers who aren’t active on Instagram. I plan to do three blog posts this month, each covering ten days of the challenge.
Today, I’d like to share my posts from October 1-10, 2017.
Hope you enjoy checking out my take on the various prompts!
But first have a look at the #riotgrams challenge at a glance…

The posts on Insta look so pretty! And what a chance to share your books in such an aesthetically appealing manner! Loved it, Shilpa!:)
Thanks a lot, Mayuri. Glad you liked these posts on Insta as well. 🙂
That’s a cool challenge. And given the fact that you are a machine when it comes to reading, I imagine books lying all around you. Loved how you related all the books with the prompts. That candy one is very cleverly done
Hahaha. Raj, you have forgotten that I have OCD for orderliness, so my books cant be lying all around me. 😀 They are near me, neatly placed in a cupboard. 😉 See the second pic!!
Thank you so much, glad you like my attempts for this prompt. 🙂
Thats something new and interesting!
I loved the October 2nd ‘s take, “Orange Covers”… one for the colour and other for the spread!
All the best Shilpa for this challenge and appreciate your appetite for participating in two challenges, both demanding, at same time.

Thank you so much, Anagha. Glad you liked these posts!! 🙂
Oh I have been loving your Insta news on this Shilpa and loving the books you are showing off!! Malory towers brought back so many memories; I wish my school days had been that exciting!! 😉 Shall stay tuned to this whole of october
Thanks for all your support, Shalini. Glad that you like my takes on the various prompts.
Yes, wish our school days were as fun as in Malory Towers.
I also tried similar other challenges this October on Instagram. But it required so much thought and time, I decided not to after a week.
Oh, that’s sad. Which challenge was that?
Oh.. I check your Insta posts every day. This challenge is exciting! And I love the way you take pictures of the books. Good going, Shilpa.
Thank you sooo much, Shalini. Love your support! 🙂
Ah ha… so now I know the secret behind all those insta book posts. BTW am in awe with your collections. Once you are done with few best fiction ones send over to me 😉 Lovely initiative, would participate next time round.
Thanks a lot, Dipika. Sure, would love to share some books with you! Yes, let’s do it together next time 🙂
Sounds like cool books and love seeing Maximum City, Pricey Thakur Girls and quite a few are on my TBR lists. Good to have a peek about how Instagram works since I am not there.
I am new to Instagram too, so thought of exploring it through this challenge. I am yet to read Maximum City 😛
Oh, that’s cool, Shilpa! I did see the pictures on Instagram, but didn’t quite get the meaning behind it all. Thanks for sharing it here, on your blog! Have fun, dear! 🙂
Oh, am glad that I shared the details here then 🙂
Thanks Shilpa and you are rocking your Inktober too!
This is lovely, Shilpa! I have followed these posts in Insta and I am now very clear about the challenge! This is definitely a bookish riot! 🙂 I like all 10, but my vote is for Enid Blyton’s Malory Towers! 🙂
Glad that this post clarified the details about the challenge. Thank you for your support, Jayanthy. Appreciate it! 🙂
If there is a word called bookporn, you certainly aced it, Shilpa. Books are good not just to read but also to photograph.
Aww! You made my day, Varsha 🙂
I love your instagram feed, and loving all these posts. Quite interesting! 🙂
Thank you so much, Payal!
Wow, I love book posts. I loved all of them but the Malory Towers is my fav. I’m a little partial to Enid Blyton 🙂
We all are still smitten by Enid Blyton. 🙂
Thanks Prasanna.
I have seen your posts on Instagram and I am glad that I’ve read some of the books. Good luck for the challenge, Shilpa!
PS: Will you be interested to read and review my book ‘The 23rd Girl’?

Thanks Rohan.
Will check out your book!
This looks like such a fun challenge
It surely is!!
This looks like such a fun challenge, and I loved your book shelf
Thank you, Neha. My books are my precious possessions and I am so proud of them 😀
Instagram is always pretty and colourful. The books are so lively in the pictures. I like almost all the Instagram feeds
Yes, some people on Insta are truly amazing, I mean their photography skills are simply fabulous.
Looks like fun challenge and you are enjoying it. I loved the way you arrange books, got to know few titles as I was looking to buy some. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Cheers
