Ah! They sometimes take photos of the books and put them on Instagram. Maybe they mean they want a place/grid for their books on the Instagram.

A grid is a network comprising infinite parts in various locations, as in the utility grids.

She said that she's already shared her top 12 books in a podcast. She now wants to tell her followers about some more books she loves.
