Lovely post! I have say I became an avid reader because of Booktok and I also fall into that 14-25 age group category. I think it’s really important for young (adult) readers to not blindly follow these trends and form their own judgement. I did influence by Booktok and thought ‘I need to buy these books although I’ve already read them?’ Or ‘To show that I love this book, I have to have them in physical copy, e-book and audiobook version’.

I never act on it but I think it’s crucial that readers know that love reading isn’t about how many book trophies you have, how many annotations in a book and how many copies you have. It’s about how it affects your life and the way you think.

Thank you 🙏 And I totally agree. BookTok got so many of us into reading, but it’s easy to forget it’s not about owning every edition. What matters is how a book makes you feel or think.

I do not fall into the age gap (14-25) maybe that's the reason I don't run to collect Special Editions with spredges. But I do love a multi pov and the idea to help the readers navigate through it with art. It's just lovely.

I can't wait to read your book.
