the absolute Experience of hearing booktok describe one book as THE best five star read you've ever seen that you'll wanna read over and over and over again and then actually trying it and realizing you'd literally eat glass if it meant you got back everything you wasted on it

#yes this is about the pumpkin spice cafe #also that lost bookshop one #the only recs from booktok that haven't steered me wrong are mexican gothic & raybearer #and even then. i already HAD mexican gothic from when i bought it for a class #and raybearer was a rec from a smaller booktoker to diversify reading lists #so maybe it's just Big Popular Booktok that has a problem with recommending Nothingburgers #with a side of Very Inaccurate descriptions of what the book is like #(looking at everyone who described lost bookshop (about 3 storylines where 2 of them are about fleeing abuse/forced marriage)#as 'cozy and enchanting' and 'feels like a warm hug 🥰'#when it was described as COZY & ENCHANTING i was expecting like. howls moving castle. or at least some mr. magorium's wonder emporium shit #but no it had me STRESSED. anyway #mine #hannah reads #booktok
