This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic character’s I’d follow on social media.
I love this week’s topic! There are so many characters who I think would have incredible Instagram accounts, so that is the social media platform I chose to focus on.
Daisy Jones (Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid)
This is so obvious, but if Daisy Jones were a real person she would have millions and millions of followers on Instagram. I think people would be so intrigued by her and her character has this aura about her that draws people in. Her Instagram would be a bit edgy with a lot of behind the scenes photos. Could you imagine what her Instagram stories would be like?
Vivian (City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert)
I would love to be able to follow Vivian’s Instagram through all of the phases of her. From when she was young and making some questionable decisions and hanging out with showgirls to when she is older making wedding dresses and living her truth. Not only would her page be compelling, but I also think it would be inspiring. She is unapologetic about what she needs and who she is. Through all of her ups and downs, I think she’d be a great role model.
Lara Jean (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han)
Lara Jean’s Instagram would be very aesthetically pleasing. There would also be a lot of pictures of her baking, of Peter, and of her family. What more could you ask for?
Chloe Brown (Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibber)
Chloe Brown is already a computer-whiz so I think she would have a killer Instagram. I also think she would be an amazing advocate for those living with a chronic illness. And let’s be honest, I would just want to see pictures of her and Red together. I am sure she would share some of Red’s art every once in awhile as well.
Nina (The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman)
Nina Hill is the one character on this list that I am most likely to follow because you just know she would have a killer bookish Instagram. I am interested to see more about her life as well, but her book recommendations are what I would truly be there for. I never get tired of finding new Bookstagram accounts to follow.
Dan (Ellie and the Harpmaker by Hazel Prior)
If you have read Ellie and the Harpmaker, you will know that the chances of Dan creating an Instagram account on his own are very slim, but I think with a push from Ellie and the other people in his life he could be convinced. My favourite part of this story was reading about Dan’s harps and the process of making them. An Instagram account all about his harps and some of the behind the scenes stuff would be fascinating!
Kiko (Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman)
I follow a lot of artist on Instagram and I think that I would definitely follow Kiko. I loved reading about how art inspired her and in many ways saved her. It would be a thrill to see how her art has progressed through the years. I also just think she has an important story that the world would need to here and she could share that through her art.
Annie (Waiting for Tom Hank’s by Kerry Winfrey)
I just think following Annie on Instagram would be a blast. She works on movie sets and is dating a famous actor- all the makings for an interesting Instagram account! I also love all of the other characters she has in her life from her uncle to her best friend, so it would be fun to get glimpses of what they are up to as well.
Emoni (With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo)
Emoni would definitely have a food Instagram account and you know it would be gorgeous! The way that food was described in With the Fire on High was magical. We would probably also get the odd baby photo, which is adorable and I am here for.
A.J. Fikry (The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin)
I love following bookstore owners on Instagram. It would be a dream come true to own a bookstore, so it is fun to live vicariously through them. I also think that A.J. Fikry would have some unique book recommendations!
This is such a fun idea! I love it! Your reasoning is so fun and interesting too!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Daisy would be an ideal to follow, and her post would be epic and badass
Exactly!!
Excellent!!! I debated putting in 3 of those, lol. Daisy, Fire on High, and A.J. all were contenders! Love your list!!
Thank you! They’d have such different but equally interesting Instagram!
I would definitely follow Lara Jean and Daisy Jones!

Yes! They were the first two who came to my mind.
Great topic! It’s got me thinking about who I would follow!
It is fun isn’t it?
I really think that Lara Jean would be so much fun to follow!
Me too! I can picture her account perfectly.
Lara Jean! You’re so right, her Instagram would be bubbly and beautiful!!
Exactly. I think it would be very pastel!!
Great list. I have a lot of these on my TBR, which makes me excited! I have seen Lara Jean a lot.. she’d be a great one to follow!
My TTT!
Thanks!! She really would.
Ooh I also included Lara Jean this week for pretty much the same reasons (but mostly baking). I considered Daisy Jones too but wasn’t sure she’d be the most regular poster given her chaotic lifestyle.
Yes the baking!! That’s true about Daisy Jones. I think she might make good use of Instagram Stories though!
I had Lara Jean on my list too! https://briannasbooksandrandomness.wordpress.com/2020/02/25/top-ten-tuesday-characters-id-follow-on-social-media-if-i-had-it/
I love that so many of us put Lara Jean!
This is a fun post! I haven’t written mine yet but Nina Hill is on my mental list!
We would definitely both be following her on bookstagram!
I love this!
Thank you!
Vivian’s instagram page sounds like it would be amazing.
My TTT .
I really think it would!
I read almost all these books, so I say – YES! Dan’s harps would make for a beautiful instagram feed, and Emoni would give us all the food porn. I would be in for LJ’s baked goods and fashion posts, and Chloe Brown and Nina Hill both cracked me up. I would love to see what they did with 140 characters.
Love that you agree about Dan!! Chloe and Nina would definitely have killer Twitter accounts!
I haven’t got around to reading Daisy Jones and the Six yet but from what I already know about it, I would definitely follow her instagram!

You just have to see the photo on the cover of the book to know she would have a great account!
I love your list! Daisy Jones for sure!! I’d absolutely love to see Dan the harpmaker on social media (I loved that book!), and AJ Fikry is a great choice too. Lara Jean is on my list this week too — I can see her sharing a lot of kitten memes.
My TTT
Yes!! I’m so happy you agree about Dan. There must be a real harpmaker Instagrammer out there. I need to look into that!
That would be so cool! Of course, I really just want to see Dan’s, with the stones in them.
What a fun post! I only know Daisy but yeah – her Instagram would be an absolute blast to follow. And interestingly would be very much an example of someone whose life would look different then how it was presented on social media….
You’re so right about that!
Daisy Jones, Lara Jean and Kiko are perfect answers!
I just realised that these are all very creative characters – it makes sense that they would make excellent content creators!
Loved this! 💕🌸
Also, I just followed you on Instagram!
Thank you! Followed you back 😊
