From book reviews to writing tips, plot reenactments of popular novels and more, #BookTok brings together creators, authors, and bookworms across the world with a shared passion for reading and literature. As one of our most thriving communities on TikTok with over 165 billion views to date, #BookTok has not only helped inspire a new generation of book lovers but continues to transform the publishing world by reigniting a love for reading, propelling the careers of new authors and driving book sales.

Coinciding with Book Lovers' Day and as we explore new ways for our #BookTok community to create, learn, and connect, we're delighted to introduce our Global #BookTok Challenge. From August 9th until August 31st, we're encouraging book lovers in South Africa to join our global community to create #BookTok themed content, such as book reviews, holiday reading lists, book recommendations, and more. Creators who post at least 2 videos with the #BookTok hashtag will receive a special #BookTok profile frame, ultimately elevating their position as a true #BookTok super fan!

Creators in South Africa can participate in the #BookTok Challenge by posting content and tagging #BookTok:
