The 10 Books Trending On #Booktok To Add To Your TBR

#BookTok has become the new Tumblr for the book community. The good thing is that more people are reading, making everyone else interested.

Some of the books on #BookTok are hits like Fourth Wing and the resurgence of A Court of Thorns and Roses. However, the platform allows new authors to become popular and have word of mouth spread for their incredible books.

There are plenty of new books to check out from the #BookTok tag, and that’s why we’re going to curate some good ones for you!

Check out the books currently trending on the platform so you can add them to your TBR!

What Comes After ‘Iron Flame’ by Rebecca Yarros?

Everyone has finished Iron Flame, and we eagerly await book three in The Empyrean series. There is no release date for the third book in the series…even though it did show up on Goodreads that it would be November 2024 at one time. Rebecca Yarros said she would need to take a bit more time with the third one, so naturally, we’re in for a wild ride.

After reading Iron Flame, it’s impossible not to have any theories on deck. Too much happened in Part Two of that novel, and Yarros left us hanging…again. Here are some theories swirling around the Internet that could come true in The Empyrean Book 3.

If You Like ‘Mean Girls’ Add These To Your TBR

Tina Fey adapted Queen Bees and Wannabees by Rosalind Wiseman for the original script. The parenting and adolescent self-help book breaks down the cliques in high school and how damaging the notion of popularity can be. Girls go through so much in “Girl World,” and Fey was able to highlight all of that in Mean Girls. Everyone feels seen in that film, and that’s why it will always have a place in the zeitgeist.

We know that Fantasy readers LOVE maps. Any map found when opening a book for the first time fills our hearts with joy. It draws the reader directly into the world and gives much-needed structure in visualizing where these characters reside. The map in A Court of Thorns and Roses shows where all the Faes live and the breakdown of the Courts.

‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ Character Breakdown

Maude’s Book Club will FINALLY dive into A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. There will be a total of six books in the series. There is a long list of characters in each court. But Maas breaks down all the courts so well. The world-building is possibly the best aspect of the series because of what Maas created. 

The main characters of Tamlin, Rhysand and Feyre keep readers invested in the story and have become household names for Fantasy readers. MBC is thrilled to have these characters in January! And for those reading it for the first time, we’re hoping that our community members would want to continue the series!
