  • #BookTok Rocks

    Someone on BlueSky mentioned that #BookTok, aka the bookish part of TikTok, might make people hate literature.

    I assume this is reaction to some very big accounts who mention some very big books. But I have a very different perspective. #BookTok revamped my love of reading. I saw so many passionate readers sharing such a huge variety of books that I ended up making a very big TBR from all their recommendations.

    I thought I’d share a small sampling of some of my favourite #BookTokers in case you want to find some recommendations
