BookTok


 


My newest social media obsession is TikTok. I avoided it for the longest because I didn't see the point of an endless stream of super short videos. I still don't. The pointlessness is the point. So now along with countless videos of zits being popped, young women shaking their money makers, snippets from stand-up comedians, silly gag reels and whatever else is on there, you'll also find some non-prize winning videos of mine. They are all book related for starters, which puts my account in the esteemed subset of BookTok. I don't think I'll branch out much beyond that, but one never knows. They don't feature me trying to be entertaining. Not yet anyway. If you wish to see videos that I star in you'll need to head on over to Roy's Book Reviews on YouTube. My BookTok videos are...  You know what - rather than me trying to explain them it would be easier if you just checked a couple out. See below for some examples. Enjoy the show!

Unfortunately some bad often comes along with the good. If you thought nothing negative could result from BookTok, you thought wrong.
