Miami Reads: @juliawreads, Local Bookstagrammer

September 22, 2025

Miami Book Fair is partnering with Julia to celebrate books and their impact in our community through an interactive reading challenge, Miami Reads.


Who is Julia?

Julia is a bookstagrammer from right here in Florida whose birth sign is a Leo. She has created a wonderful aesthetic on her profile which is also paired with a plethora of book recommendations and knowledge which makes her account a must follow, check out her Instagram page @juliawreads.

Why do you love books?

They are gateways into new experiences, whether they be grand travel adventures, fantasy tales, or simply learning about and empathizing with a real-world story different from your own. Julia’s favorite book is The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombardo.

Favorite part of Miami Book Fair?

Being able to discover new-to-me authors.

Fun Fact about Julia:
