Hi All,

BookTok?

I just learned of this. I don't know what to make of it.

"If you were starting to think that social media was filled purely with angry people shouting at one another for no reason, you wouldn?t exactly be wrong. But thankfully, in the depths of TikTok, there is a wholesome place reigniting faith in the internet. The name of this magical world? BookTok. A sanctuary for literature lovers of all kinds, the #booktok tag currently has over 4.4 billion views as creators discuss their favourite reads through video reviews, recommendations and book nerd memes.

"BookTok looks set to only increase in popularity..



Ciao!

Regarding books, there's also bookbrainz.org which is apparently maintained by the
same developers as MusicBrainz/the MetaBrainz community. I think it's pretty young
yet - at the top of the site it says "Under development Γ ÷ adventurous users, please test and add data! Give us feedback about bugs, glitches and potential improvements at MetaBrainz JIRA!"

Though I don't know how well that site could compete with GoodReads.com, or why another book site is needed.

bookbrainz looks terrible. I think they want to be a cross
between a wiki and reddit or something.

I concur. Goodreads is probably Goodenuff. ;)

BookTok seems to be a silly fad. As many viral things begin by
boastful claims.. people rush to check them out, thus boosting
their virology, ..but then they drop dead after everyone gets a
chance to see how bad they look.
