Hello Lovelies!
When I first started my #bookstagram (book-Instagram) I ran into a lot of different types of lingo that I had no idea what people were talking about and I had to kinda just learn as I went along.
So after having my #Bookstagram for a little over 5 months now, I have learned a bunch of terms when it comes to books, and today I am going to share those terms with you.
ARC- Advanced Reader Copy (authors usually have a team of readers that will receive ARCs before the book is published so they can pre-read the book to find any mistakes, grammatical errors, etc)
Bookstagram- Book Instagram
MC- Main character- story is told from their point of view
FMC- Female Main Character
MMC- Male Main Character
POV- Point of view
First Person- Story is told from a first person point of view, using I, me, my, etc
