Goodreads is booktok for boomers.
The reviews are worthless and the 4-5 star bombing of garbage books are insane.

What booktok are you on that recommends her books? Literally every creator I’ve seen has talked about how garbage her writing is. And they saved me from listening to 21 hours of Fourth Wing. People seem to think that TikTok just shows them whatever but your algorithm shows you what it thinks you’ll like. Curating that algorithm is part of the work you have to put in in order to see things you’ll actually enjoy.
Finding a good method to get recommendations for books that I enjoy reading has changed my life.
I'm not going to begrudge anyone for reading books, regardless of how shitty I might think they are. Scrolling tiktok and then finding books and then going and reading them?? Sure beats just continually scrolling tiktok, or Twitter, or YouTube, or any of the countless other worse ways to spend your time.
Shaming people’s booktaste and gatekeep reading? Real nice of you…
People can read whatever they like, it’s okay to like books, it’s okay to not like books. What’s not okay is being disrespectful and shaming people for what they read… people may love those books you hate because of taste? Taste? You know that completely subjective thing that’s different for everyone and there’s no right or wrong? Every single book has 5 star and 1 star reviews, its all fine, just know its just your opinion and both reviews are valid. There are probably enough people hating the books you love too
You don’t vibe with booktok, completely valid, nobody is forcing you, just read whatever you do like. Everyone will leave you alone, respect your taste and opinions, just like you can respect others even if you don’t agree with them
You can't be that stupid to be taking Booktok recommendations - seriously? Booktok?! FML you're embarassing.
