Speaking LITerally 043: Bookstagram Made Me Do It

It's not just Instagram and TikTok. Instead, it's been Bookstagram and Booktok for quite some time! Holly and Liz take on exploring the influence of social media in the literary world, more specifically, their own literary worlds. The bookish duo are both feeling quite under the weather, but that doesn't keep them from having fun and discussing everything from the rise of book clubs and book events for Gen Z to the recent BookTok Awards and everything in between! Books mentioned this month include: The God of Woods by Liz Moore, The Taking by Dean Koontz, The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward, You Like it Darker by Stephen King, 50 Shades of Grey by EL James, and so many more that.
