Booktoker Of The Week Event: Live With Faye

Social Media has dramatically transformed how we make decisions. With the rise of influencers, people like you and me also benefit from a second opinion. We get recommendations that help us decide, whether it’s our next meal, outfit, or read.

BookTok is one such community of avid readers in their teens, who actively recommend and review books, make bookish jokes, and simply revel in their love for literature, along with their audiences.

This Friday, we are virtually meeting with one such BookToker Faye, who goes by @LiteraryLesbian on TikTok.

Here’s what you can expect during the Instagram Live:

  • A book-centered conversation about Faye’s experience as a BookToker,
  • Questions about most anticipated releases and favorite books,
  • The opportunity to get your questions answered.
