One hashtag that has taken over a side of TikTok is BookTok. It’s almost a brand new strand of BookTube but on a whole different app. The hashtag itself has over 113.5 billion videos attached to it, with people sharing their favourite books and offering advice to people on what they should read next.

The power of BookTok is unmatched, with it be able to make a book go viral in a matter of days. Colleen Hoover, whose books It Ends With Us, Verity and Ugly Love all blew up due to TikTok, sold more copies of her books than the literal Bible in 2022. Now that’s the true power of BookTok.

The people behind this are known quite simply as BookTokers. TikTok users who are in love with books have been taking over and have been sharing their love for books on the app. These are the BookTokers you absolutely need to be following right now.
