BookTok isn’t just about swooning over annotated romances and sprayed-edge hardcovers — it’s also the internet’s hottest arena for bookish debates. In this episode we’re spilling the tea on the spiciest takes lighting up your For You page: from the rise of “spice over substance,” to the collector’s-edition industrial complex, to whether every viral book really needs a screen adaptation. We’ll unpack why these opinions matter, how they’re reshaping what publishers release, and what readers actually want from their next binge read.
