BookTok creators that are worth the follow
With over 80 billion views, BookTok can seem vastly overwhelming, but several content creators in the community stand out from the rest.
BookTok is an incredibly vibrant TikTok community that provides an important space for users to discuss their favorite reads with others who are just as passionate about literature.
Content creators in the community share everything from book recommendations to playlists inspired by their favorite fictional characters.
Not all BookTok accounts are created equal, and many go above and beyond with great recommendations, pitch-perfect senses of humor, and intelligent insight into some truly amazing reads.
Whether you're new to BookTok or are something of an expert, these content creators are a must-follow.
@newlynova
No one does book reviews quite like @newlynova. With over 180,000 followers, the BookToker is best known for her signature "chaotic" reviews.
There's no one doing book reviews quite like her. To give you a sense of just how chaotic her reviews are, she described Alice Oseman's Heartstopper as better than her antidepressants and said Colleen Hoover's Verity will kill any sense of childhood left in you.
And she's 100% right on both fronts.
Her reviews will have you running to the bookstore before you even finish a single video.
