Beyond the Book:

TikTok's Impact on Book Sales

In 2024, Dostoevsky's short story White Nights became popular on BookTok, the corner of TikTok populated by readers. BookTok has been equally praised—young people are reading! And buying books!—and derided as a shallow way of engaging with literature. What is not in doubt, though, is how BookTok has changed the publishing industry in the past few years.

Books & Authors Articles

For every title we review, we also write a "beyond the book" article that focuses on a related cultural, historical, or contextual topic. In addition to our article on BookTok above, we have recent Books & Authors pieces on the publication histories of Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye and Patricia Highsmith's Carol, modern perspectives on James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room, a biography of Daphne du Maurier to accompany our coverage of her lesser-known novella The Breakthrough, and more.

Some articles are viewable to all visitors, while others can only be accessed by members and patrons of subscribing libraries.

Upcoming Webinar on February 27th

We're hosting a webinar on 2/27 at 1pm ET where you can learn how BookBrowse for Libraries can support your readers' advisory, book club, and other programming efforts.

As a thank you for registering, we'll give you a guide of all of our read-alikes for our Top 20 Books of 2024 — most of these books are highly requested and the waitlists can be long, so these recommendations help your patrons find another book while they wait.

In the 45-minute webinar, we'll cover:

• What BookBrowse resources are available for free for anyone to use, vs. our paid memberships.

• How to use BookBrowse as a Readers' Advisory and Collection Development tool with our database filtering, reading lists, and read-alikes.

• How you can better support your book clubs with our reading guides and book club resources.

• How BookBrowse boosts patron engagement with our patron emails that get 50% open rates and free print materials.

Register and we'll send you a calendar invite for the webinar on 2/27! Please share this link with any of your colleagues you think could benefit as well.
