TikTok, an app where users create and post videos, is more than teenagers performing silly dances and sassy talking cats! It’s also home to BookTok, a subcommunity of TikTok focusing on books and literature.  BookTok users post book recommendations, book reviews, and fun content about reading. It can launch an author’s career and breathe new life into an older book, even catapulting it to the top of the best sellers list. Just ask authors Colleen Hoover and Taylor Jenkins Reid!

Intrigued? A display featuring books that are trending on BookTok is located on the Main Floor of the Flint Public Library. Who knows? You might even be inspired to create your own BookTok video! Happy reading!
