Books trending on BookTok right now
Imagine this: You’re 16, mindlessly scrolling through your TikTok feed, expecting the usual mix of memes and music, when suddenly, amidst the tranquil flow of curated content, your mother appears in a TikTok video. You let out a scream — the horror!
I, the Libby social media specialist, gave my teenage son the jump scare of a lifetime when I disrupted his regularly scheduled algorithm, appearing in a TikTok video for Libby. While TikTok may seem like it’s reserved for “younger” demographics, I’m here to tell you, you’re wrong.
From insightful tutorials to hilarious happenstances, TikTok has become a place for crowdsourced information and recommendations.
