Thank you for mentioning my post! I found the NYT article about TikTok really interesting, and I was surprised that TikTok has affected book sales to such a degree.

I found it quite interesting, too! And also possibly…overblown? I believe the sales are up and some accounts are very popular, but after looking into TikTok myself, I do think there are many bookish accounts that get roughly 300 views per video. I think all the publishers and authors who joined hoping to go mega-viral after that article will not find it so easy.

Thank you for sharing my post! I’m actually on spring break now (THANK GOD) and one of the things I’m treating myself to is reading other people’s stuff :). So this comes at a perfect time! Yay! I always look forward to these posts, too. So thank you, not only for sharing my piece, but for doing the work to curate this collection each month of great pieces I may’ve (and most likely did as pandemic teaching is insane and IS IT SUMMER YET??) missed.
