BookTok took the Internet by storm in the last few years! I was slow to join this platform because I was already on Bookstagram, but I am finding that I tend to enjoy BookTok more.

It can be hard to stay motivated to post often, especially when you are short on ideas or time. But BookTok doesn’t have to be complicated, which is part of the reason I like to create on that platform. There’s not pressure to create an “aesthetic” like there is on Bookstagram, and the content can be spur of the moment and fun instead of planned out like Bookstagram or even Booktube.

Types of BookTok Video Content

There are different types of BookTok videos and what people prefer varies!

For instance, my favorite content is book shopping vlogs. This is my favorite content because I don’t have a Barnes and Noble or Target near me, so I live vicariously through other creators when I want to peruse the bookstore and can’t actually go. That won’t make sense to everyone, but some of you probably relate!

Other types of BookTok vidoes are reading vlogs/read with me, book hauls, book reviews, book lists, and opinion videos. Skits are also popular, but I will be honest-I don’t know much about those because that is not the kind of content I watch, so it’s never on my FYP.
