24-year-old James Trevino is entertaining over 150k followers on Instagram with his book installations, though we believe that a fair share of the followers equally appreciates his handsomeness.

Trevino explains how it all started. “At first I was posting pictures of my then current reads. With time, the photos got more and more complex, influenced mostly by pop culture and sometimes by certain pictures I saw on Instagram.”

He’s doing this as a hobby but admits it has been a little overwhelming to have so many followers and positive reactions. See some of our favorites below and follow him for more!

Who is your favorite Lord of the Rings/Tolkien character? 📚 One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. 📚 If you have been here long enough you know about my obsession with everything Tolkien. The LOTR movies are my favorite movies of all time by far and I've watched them so many times I can literally quote them by heart (I did that with my brother when we watched Fellowship of the Ring recently for almost 20 minutes before he asked me to stop LMAO). 📚 I've read almost everything Tolkien wrote. I still have some of the History of Middle Earth series left and Unfinished Tales (which I just started today). My favorite Tolkien book is The Silmarillion (which I would place as my favorite book ever, tied with Harry Potter 6). As for favorite Tolkien character I will go with Feanor when we are talking the whole Tolkienverse and Arwen if we talk LOTR. OMG, I want someone to talk to about this universe nonstop! And can Amazon please hurry up with that series?!! I need something new to obsess over! 📚 Also, hope your weekend was great! 📑 📑 📑 #lordoftherings #lotr #bücher #tolkien #本 #読書 #booktography #thehobbit #hobbit #bookporn #jrrtolkien #bookstagram #booknerd #acreativevisual #megustaleer #aragorn #frodo #книжныйчервь #gandalf #middleearth #instalivre #hobbiton #sundayfunday #writerscommunity #artistsoninstagram

What position would you play in your Hogwarts Quidditch team? 📚 I would definitely be a Seeker. As you can see, I have mad skillz, yo! Actually, I would probably not play at all cuz I have issues with heights… I mean, just the idea of being suspended up there, with my ass on a stick is insane to me… oops, that came out wrong, but you know what I mean!🙈 #WHPlookup 📚 But on a more important note: OMFG, the new Fantastic Beats: The Crimes of Grindelwald trailer should drop in about 2 hours or so! I need that trailer in my life now!!! 📚 How is your weekend going, guys? On a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate your week? Mine was an 8 I think. I read 5 freakin books this past few days, which is insane for my slow reading pace. 📑 📑 📑 #quidditch #harrypotter #read #bookart #hogwarts #slytherin #gryffindor #hufflepuff #ravenclaw #goldensnitch #fantasticbeasts #reading #thecrimesofgrindelwald #fantasticbeaststhecrimesofgrindelwald #grindelwald #dumbledore #newtscamander #book #本スタグラム #読了#読書記録 #booknerdigans #ler #leer #bookishlove #writersofinstagram #poetryofinstagram #artistsoninstagram

What is your favorite Hunger Games book/movie/character? 📚 Are you, are you Coming to the tree Where the dead man called out For his love to flee Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be If we met at midnight In the hanging tree. 📚 I've been listening to that song all day. Actually, that song is the reason I decided to post this. I took this pic a few weeks ago but every time I looked at it I thought to myself: it looks like a chicken.😆 But I realized that I never had a Hunger Games themed post, despite the fact that I was obsessed with the series a while back. When it comes to rankings, I love the first THG book the most. It is the complete opposite if we talk movies: the last two films, as a whole, are pure perfection. They are a stunning depiction of war and loss and the human capacity to endure. I know a lot of people disagree, but oh well… Oh, and I might have decided to post this also because it represents the Mockingjay… or Mockingjames 😏 … ok, imma stop. I don't know why I keep trying with the puns.🙈 📚 Who is ready for the weekend? Any special plans, guys? 📑 📑 📑 #thehungergames #friyay #thg #hungergames #bookhaul #mockingjay #flatlays #wings #poemsporn #katnisseverdeen #ya #livros #bookstagram #katniss #peeta #catchingfire #suzannecollins #bookblogger #lecturedumoment #小説 #book #lifestylephotography #artists #buku #lectores

What is your favorite mythology (Greek, Egyptian, Norse etc)? 📚 As you can guess, I am a a tiny bit (more) passionate about the Greek mythology. So I thought I would continue my Mythological Figures series with the one and only Zeus. Say goodbye to power outages that ruin your karaoke parties or Percy Jackson marathons. With the Lord of the Skies on your side you are guaranteed to have a a blast… 📚 Happy Sunday, fellas! Hope you had a great weekend! Also, since another week is gone, how would you grade it from 1 to 10? 📑 📑 📑 #sundayfunday #whplight #zeus #percyjackson #tattoo #books #bookblog #bookcommunity #lifestylephotographer #read #birdseyeview #lovepoem #booklovers #heroesofolympus #percabeth #pjo #rickriordan #reading #hazellevesque #bookaholic #leovaldez #読了 #lector #annabethchase #creative #greekmythology #mythology
