TikTok, an app dominated by Gen Z, is the place for a lot of things: You can discover emerging designers, participate in dance challenges and even stream fashion shows. But there's another space on TikTok that's also taking off—let's call it BookTok.
Digital book clubs are increasing in popularity on the app. Various “bookfluencers” are creating content around their favorite books, and developing accounts that are strictly devoted to book talk. The power of BookTok is not to be underestimated: Some TikTok book accounts, like @alifeofliterature, have featured old books and motivated them back onto best-seller lists, proving that Gen Z's appetite for books is very much alive.
Surfing the app can be tiresome, but fear not: We have rounded up a selection of BookTok pages that are well worth a follow. Below are four bookfluencers to know.
