The fact that I’ve read all of these… Am I… a BookTook bro? 🥺
Possibly! To be fair the fact that these books tend to attract a certain audience does not preclude them being good or enticing to a wider group of people.
Somehow very happy to have only read one of these 💜 Performing performative male very well 😤
I have a 30% overlap. We can be booktok bros together? 😂
this is so on point, and your username being Chad makes it even funnier 🤣
💯
I saw that and almost did a spit take 🤭
i’m CACKLING
So, so real. I do think you should add A Game of Thrones and The Long Walk or IT.
Oh they fuckin love The Long Walk
Yeah, they do 😂 I'm not a King fan but they go rabid for that old white man
Maybe "12 rules for life" too, or am I misunderstanding something 😅
I did add Game of Thrones. I also have 11/22/63 on the expansion pack list, only because I hear more about that one than The Long Walk and IT on TikTok.
Thank you for this perfect primer for how to talk to my straight white male coworker that I have nothing in common with.
actually laughed out loud 😂😂😂
I’m dead 💀 you’ve killed me 😂
😂😂😂
I was thinking that it would be a fun list to have exist. I feel like you can’t open TikTok or Reddit without somebody recommending one of these books.
Lol if we're talking Reddit, I see Between Two Fires recommended there all the time! I mean, I'm about to read it, they have successfully convinced me 😅
Actually good point, I see that all the time too. Added it to the list!
i KNEW between two fires was going to be on this list
I have 82% overlap I don’t know how to feel about it 😭🤣🤣🤣
I have 45% overlap but in my defense… Most of those are only on my tbr, I haven’t actually read them I’m not sure if that makes me partly a booktok bro or not 🥲 Is it too late for me?? Am I a lost cause?
I have 55% but I’ve only read 3 of them. I think I might be a lost cause and I’m just accepting it. 😱🫠
I don’t know that it’s a bad thing. I personally love a good rom-com book. So you can be a BookTok Bro, and I’ll be a Romance Girlie!
I guess I’m a booktok bro
I have 73% overlap 😂 Mostly WTR or reread in the case of The Blade Itself. I don't see some I'd think of as Bro material, but maybe they're not popular enough. 🤔
