Novel & Cerita Books To Read Booktok

BookTok is a vibrant corner of TikTok where book lovers gather to share their favorite reads, reviews, and literary obsessions. It’s a community that has breathed new life into the publishing world, turning older titles into bestsellers and launching new authors into the spotlight. The most recommended books on BookTok often include 'The Song of Achilles' by Madeline Miller, a heart-wrenching retelling of Greek mythology that has captured countless hearts. 'They Both Die at the End' by Adam Silvera is another favorite, known for its emotional depth and unique premise. 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and complex characters.

Other popular picks include 'We Were Liars' by E. Lockhart, a gripping psychological thriller, and 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' by Sarah J. Maas, a fantasy series that has become a sensation. BookTok’s recommendations often lean towards emotional, thought-provoking, and immersive stories, making it a treasure trove for readers seeking their next great read. The trend has also revived interest in classics like 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen, proving that timeless stories never go out of style.

So, like, I was just casually scrolling through TikTok at like 2 AM—you know, the usual “I’ll go to bed after this one last video” lie we all tell ourselves—and I kept seeing people crying, laughing, and freaking out over these books. That’s when I found out about BookTok. Basically, it’s this side of TikTok totally obsessed with books. And not just any books—BookTok books are the ones that go viral, blow up, and suddenly everyone’s reading them. Think of it like this: if TikTok is your go-to for the latest songs, dances, and trends, then BookTok is your plug for books that are gonna wreck your soul or make you fall in love with fictional characters.

BookTok books aren’t a genre—they’re more like a vibe. One day it's a fantasy romance with dragons, the next it’s a gut-wrenching contemporary tearjerker. But they all have one thing in common: emotion. You feel something. Usually a lot. Like, “I finished this book at 3:47 AM and now I’m just staring at the wall” kind of feelings. Some examples? The Song of Achilles, It Ends With Us, A Court of Thorns and Roses, They Both Die at the End, and Fourth Wing—those names keep showing up everywhere.

Also, these books become more than just reads—they’re trends. You get aesthetic edits, character fancasts, memes, fan theories, and those iconic “if you liked this, you’ll love this” recommendation videos. The community’s wild (in a good way). There’s drama, but also so much love for reading. It honestly makes you want to pick up a book just to be part of it.

And authors? Some of them owe BookTok their careers. Books that were published years ago suddenly hit the bestseller lists again. It’s like TikTok resurrects them.

So yeah, BookTok books are the stories that TikTok can’t stop talking about, feeling over, and turning into whole fandoms. And if you’ve never read one, prepare for your emotional stability to be challenged.

BookTok has been absolutely buzzing lately, and I can't resist gushing about some of the gems I've stumbled upon. 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' by Taylor Jenkins Reid keeps popping up, and for good reason—it's this lush, cinematic dive into old Hollywood glamour with a protagonist who's equal parts ruthless and vulnerable. The way Reid unravels Evelyn's story feels like peeling an onion, layer by layer, until you're left raw and emotional. Then there's 'Fourth Wing' by Rebecca Yarros, which is basically if dragons and military academies had a baby, and that baby was addictive as hell. The romance is spicy, the stakes are high, and the world-building sucks you in like a vortex.

Another one I've seen everywhere is 'Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow' by Gabrielle Zevin. It's not your typical romance or fantasy—it's a love letter to friendship, creativity, and video games. The characters feel so real, their flaws and triumphs hitting close to home. And let's not forget 'Babel' by R.F. Kuang, a dark academia masterpiece that blends language, colonialism, and magic into something utterly unique. BookTok loves its morally gray characters, and this delivers in spades. Personally, I binged 'Babel' in two sittings and then stared at the wall for an hour processing it.
