LET’S TALK ABOUT BOOKS ONLINE Jane Austen for a new generation From the virtual depths of TikTok, a new community of book lovers that emerged through the hashtag #BookTok also launched its own book club this summer B ookTok is a growing community of biblio- philes who post video clips in which they rec- ommend and review books. Content ranges from spoiler-filled reviews and reading rec- ommendations to colour-coordinated book- shelves. Just as TikTok has taken the world by storm, so BookTok has rocked the publishing industry and changed the nature of the marketing of books. književnosti, a mi stvaramo novi format književ- nog kluba kako bi zajednica nastavila da se pove- zuje, zapodeva razgovore i deli knjige koje najviše voli – rekao je Džejms Staford, direktor za partner- stva i korisnike na TikToku . U virtuelnoj zajednici postoji tim #BookTok laureata, grupe tiktokera kojima je čitanje strast, koji će se udubiti u svaki roman i deliti svoje utiske kroz niz sadržaja. Grupa će na kraju svakog mese- ca upriličiti prenos uživo, tokom kojeg će diskuto- vati o knjizi meseca. Izbor za prvu knjigu književnog kluba pao je letos na vanvremenski roman Pod tuđim uticajem Džejn Ostin. Netfliksova adaptacija romana dopri- nela je popularnosti i interesovanju za ovo delo, dok hešteg #AustenTok povezuje ogromnu zajed- nicu ljubitelja ove autorke unutar samog TikToka sa milionima pregleda.

With tens of billions of total views, video clips from #BookTok have propelled titles to the top of bestseller lists and helped new authors establish their careers. This social media giant is very well aware of its popu- larity, which is why it has utilised its users’ deep-root- ed love for literature to launch an official literary club. The TikTok Book Club is open to everyone, as is the #BookTok hashtag, but it also has an organised structure. Each month, a new book is announced that members can read together, sharing their experiences and opinions. The TikTok app itself also has a special hub dedicated to the Book Club, which displays infor- mation on the new title of the month. “From spotlighting little-known authors and genres to introducing the classics to a new generation, #Book- Tok has helped to reignite a passion for literature and we [are] creating a new take on the much-loved #Book- Club format, so our community can continue to con- nect, spark conversations and share the books they love most,” said James Stafford, head of partnerships and community at TikTok. The virtual community includes a team of “Book- Tok Laureates”: a group of TikTokkers who are pas- sionate about reading and delve into each novel, shar- ing their impressions through a series of content. The group hosts a live broadcast at the end of each month to discuss the book of the month. This summer’s choice for the book club’s first book was Jane Austen’s timeless novel Persuasion. The recent Netflix adaptation of this novel contributed to the pop- ularity of this work and interest in it, while the hash- tag #AustenTok links a huge community of this au- thor’s fans within TikTok itself, with millions of views.
