Looking for something more from social media than vapid selfies and food pics? Well, then this is the post for you. Today, along with the community over at The Broke and Bookish, we’re looking at ten bookish people you should follow on Twitter right now!

Do you like pictures? Well, do the medievalists have pictures for you. Illuminated manuscripts, early printed books, marginalia, jousting monkeys. Whatever you want, they’ve got it. But wait, there’s more! Do you like donuts? Who doesn’t. Really just type in medievalist into the search bar. Better yet, click on #monktastic and #nuntastic and follow as many as you can. You won’t regret it.
