Featuring bookstore hauls, book reviews and "spicy" recommendations, BookTok is one of the biggest communities on TikTok. It's also an unlikely savior of America's largest brick-and-mortar book chain, Barnes & Noble.
Barnes & Noble opened 57 stores in 2024 and plans to open at least 60 in 2025, thanks in part to a boost from BookTok, Axios reports. That's a significant improvement from 2020, when only three new Barnes & Noble locations were planned, according to Axios.
