Introducing the #bookalike hastag - challenge accepted?

Most people have heard the old saying that dogs look like their owners. Have you ever wondered if the same saying can apply to a book lover and his or her book?


I was dressing up on Saturday and an idea popped into my head. Did I have a book in my shelf with the same colors as my outfit that day? Well, yes indeed I had - so just for fun I did a bookalike and shared it on Instagram.


Can you find a book in your shelf matching your outfit/makeup today?

  1. A great idea - I hope this really becomes a thing, would be so much fun to see whether the saying about what you read and who you are may apply to the outside (of the book and reader) as well. Sadly, I don't do many selfies, but if I ever take a photo of anything besides my knees and feet with a book, I'll use your hashtag :)

    1. You really should and now that you mention it I am not sure if I follow you on Instagram. I have to do something about that :)

    That's a cute look! Will you be stepping out like that to see if anyone notices? =)

    I started unconsciously matching my outfits to my books years ago, not realising it until I'd put the book down on my lap to rest my eyes . . . and see what a fantastic colour scheme I had put together! LOL! Later, I decided to be more deliberate about it. So my current #OOTD matches the book I #amreading. ;-) Sadly, though, I don't have a camera, so only the people at my office will get to enjoy the sight.

    1. Sadly I did not, but then again I'm not sure anyone would have noticed as I live on the country side with few neighbours.

      Cool :) I would have loved to see that.
