Behind the #BookTok phenomenon is people: in England, BookTokkers from Surrey to Sunderland have sought, found, and then spread a sense of community online, inviting other readers into what was once called ‘the most wholesome place on the internet.’⁠ ⁠ So, we set off with photographer @andy_parsons on a cross-country journey to meet and photograph the people behind some of the UK’s best BookTok accounts, in the places where their online adventure started: uni halls and suburban enclaves, city flats and family homes.⁠ ⁠ Today on Penguin.co.uk (🔗 in bio), you can meet Holly, Tolu, Callum, Ramlah, Kerrie, Hali, Emily, Meg and Coco. Find out about the phenomenon they’ve created online, how it’s changing the world around them, and why you should join BookTok, too.⁠ ⁠ #BeyondBookTok
