Bibliophiles gather! Are you hankering for a new literary escape? Discover #BookTok recommendations for your next fictional escape or bookclub binge-buy.
If your heart races in a bookshop and you spend hours wandering fictional worlds, keep reading as we tell you about the latest phenomenon for bibliophiles: #BookTok. This is where bookworms unite to share their passion for all things literature.
#BookTok is the most wholesome place on TikTok. Escape the trolls and the endless rabbit hole of teenage dancers. Instead, join the community of fellow book nerds and get excited about your next visit to that oh-so-tempting bookstore.
#BookTok is the hashtag used by BookTokers and followers to identify the community of bookworms on TikTok. It's a place for readers, writers, fans, and literary obsessors to discuss the literature that they're passionate about. Some cry, some reenact their favorite scenes, discuss plot points or character developments, and some blatantly rave about their latest page-turner.
TikTok is a social platform and the leading destination for short-form (although now they can be up to ten-minute long) mobile videos. With over 1 billion users, TikTok is for viewers, creators, and businesses who wish to use video formats to express themselves or their brand. Once you have a TikTok account, you can interact with other users’ videos by liking, commenting, or sharing content.
It's no surprise that bookworms have created the #BookTok hashtag to make it easier to find literature-loving content.
Most of the books you'll find are young adult fiction books, but #BookTok is a place for all bibliophiles and their literary elixirs. There is a growing community for LGBTQ+ content. Diversity is embraced. While social platforms are never entirely free of trolls, literary critics are "civil rather than hateful" in their discussions or reviews of #BookTok recommendations.
Your feed will automatically be filled with video content, curated by the TikTok algorithm that shows you 'For You' content they think you'll like. That means that once you search the #BookTok hashtag, you'll see similar content popping up without even searching for it.
You can be more specific in your hashtag uses to find certain genres, including tags like:

You can dedicate your entire TikTok to all things books or create occasional videos with the #BookTok hashtag. The bibliophile community on TikTok would love to hear from you!
