00:00Trying to read more and scroll less?
00:02AI tools can sift through reviews and blurbs for you
00:05and recommend titles tailored to your tastes.
00:08AI can analyze your reading history, favorite genres,
00:11and the mood of books you've enjoyed to generate tailored recommendations.
00:15And on social media, book tips get even more personal.
00:19On TikTok, creators share emotional mini-reviews under the hashtag BookTalk.
00:24You can buy recommended books directly in the app
00:27or find them on BookTalk bookstore shelves.
00:30In theory, social media could boost the visibility of marginalized or lesser-known authors.
00:35BookTalk has helped bring attention to authors and stories
00:39that might have not reached such a wide audience before.
00:42At the same time, the algorithm does kind of favor these books and authors that are not so diverse.
00:48But beware, TikTok's algorithm pushes what users already like,
00:52so it reinforces trends.
00:54If you want more diverse authors on your feed, you'll have to search for them.
