If you've picked up a book recently, there's a good chance it's because someone on TikTok told you to.
What we read is no longer driven by bookshops or bestseller charts alone, but by a constant stream of fast, highly personal recommendations.
From rapid-fire reviews to emotional reactions, creators are shaping reading habits at scale and #BookTok has more than 77 million posts.
Now, this influence is being formalised with the launch of the UK's first official #BookTok bestseller list.
The new chart, compiled by Media Control and NielsenIQ BookData - which also provides data for traditional charts such as the Sunday Times bestseller list - combines UK sales data with analysis of the #BookTok hashtag.
