Tested Booktok recommendations just for you
If you are a reader you’ve probably heard the term Booktok, but if you haven’t search the hashtag on any social media of your choosing and hop into this life-changing magical world of book recommendations and let these incredibly creative people take over part of your life, you’ll love it I promise. Whatever genre, species, love interest you have in mind, Booktok has a sub branch for you.
Two of the biggest names in the book world right now are Colleen Hoover and Sarah J Mass. While both of them had written many books and had a following, Tiktok blew them and their sales up! Colleen Hoover knows how to unexpectedly tug on your heart strings and give you thoughts you may only put together after many psychology sessions (It Ends With Us is a good example here). Sarah J Mass has created this magical realm that we never knew we needed, with a story and characters that are so epic when we see it on screen it has the potential to cause a Harry Potter sized phenomenon.
If you’re already a reader or are wanting to start, here are 5 Booktok recommendations tested by an avid reader to get you started:
1. A Court of Thorns and Roses(series) by Sarah J Mass (Fantasy Fiction, which court will you belong to?)
2. Verity by Colleen Hoover (Romance Thriller that will leave you arguing with yourself)
3. Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo (Fantasy and also a cheat for those who want to be involved but not read you can watch the TV series)
4. The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E Schwab (Fantasy/Historical Fiction and such a beautiful story)
5. The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (Mystery that is very twisty)
Books are now accessible in so many ways and we are all busy people, if you don’t have time to read a physical book give audio books a go, sometimes they are better than the novel (Stephen Fry we are looking at you!)
