She's also the co-founder of @mybookfeatures.

Sagan has been on Instagram since 2016, but her account really blew up in the summer of 2017, when she started incorporating herself into her posts.

Her account used to just be photos of book covers, but she's deleted many of those.

Here, she's channeling Hela, from "Thor: Ragnarok."

She's done other mythological figures as well, such as Medusa and a centaur.

Her love for books inspired her. "I found myself in a bad place and I needed to reconnect with my love for reading," she told INSIDER.

"I needed a platform to keep in touch with the publishing world, to monitor my reads, and to discover what's new," she said.

Sagan frequently writes in her captions what she's reading.

Here, she's portrays one of her favorite book series: "A Song of Ice and Fire."

"A Song of Ice and Fire," more commonly known by the name of the TV show based on it, "Game of Thrones," is in Sagan's top five. Her other favorites are "The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King, "The Passage" series by Justin Cronin, the "Mistborn" series by Brandon Sanderson, and "The Reckoners" series, also by Sanderson.

And here she references another favorite, "Harry Potter."

While "Harry Potter" isn't in Sagan's top five, it does pop up quite frequently.

In her words, "life is my biggest inspiration."

"I’m using symbols that people can relate to (a flower, a heart, a star etc.), I’m incorporating everyday life in my pics."

This post is about "Arrowheart," by Rebecca Sky.

Of course, she's also inspired by the book she reads and the movies she watches.

This post kicked off a series Sagan started, called "#womenofbooks," in which she began

She's portrayed superheroes like Wonder Woman and Supergirl.

Sagan doesn't do it all alone. James Trevino is one of Sagan's best friends, and a frequent collaborator. He runs a thriving "bookstagram" account of his own.
