Which books are worth reading right now? Which books are currently available?? We took a look at which novels andare currently being hyped on BookTok and have put together an exciting mix of seven titles that might interest people of all ages. There are also a few insider reading tips that you definitely hadn't thought of before.
1. Stolen women by Leonie Schöler
Robbed womenby Leonie Schöler is currently in third place in the non-fiction BookTok bestseller list and is a book that everyone should have read at least once in their life. In it, the historian reopens history and gives the stage to the women whose work has changed our world, even though we don't even know them. Men simply took pride in their achievements. It's about female scientists whose inventions were simply not recognized, female authors who (had to) write under male pseudonyms or female artists who were deprived of their success. The list is long, the outrage is great. The TikTok hype underlines how important visibility and participation is in our society. Not just an insider reading tip, but also a reading command!

2. Just One More Time by Colleen Hoover
Just one more timehas been at the top of the BookTok bestseller list for months and has been at the top since the box office success ofIt Ends with Us, the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel, went viral on TikTok. This is about theby Lily and Ryle, a bit cheesy, yes, but the two of them are head over heels in love with each other. But then Lily's ex-boyfriend comes back into her life and Ryle shows a dark side to himself that Lily couldn't have imagined in her deepest nightmares. It's about, about addiction and stalking, about paranoia and human depths. The novel tells in a necessarily unpleasant way how violence occurs in relationships and how the perpetrators' aggression cannot be seen from the outside. An important message that the book and film want to convey using this example, even ifIt Ends with Ushad to receive a justified shitstorm at the cinema release. Lead actress Blake Lively concentrated more on self-promotion than publicly addressing domestic violence.
3. Haunting Adeline von H. D. Carlton
It's similarly exciting, but with a good dose of horror factorHaunting Adelinenext, a novel by HD Carlton that is extremely popular thanks to TikTok. The focus of the plot is Adeline, an ordinary author who moves into her late great-grandmother's house. So far, so good. But over time she realizes that something is wrong with this house; strange and inexplicable things keep happening. Then there is a stalker who suddenly comes into Adeline's life and with whom she has a toxic relationship. It's good that the novel is only released for ages 18 and over. Next toIt also deals with other dark topics such as child and human trafficking - trigger warning!
4. Feel Better: A Journey to Serenity by Leon Windscheid
BookTok also has a lot to offer in the non-fiction sector. Just the topicandis very popular on TikTok. That's why it's not surprising thatFeel better: A journey to more serenityby Leon Windscheid appears at the top of the BookTok bestseller list. In it, the German author and psychologist examines the question of what our feelings are actually like - and what we can do to use them to our advantage. Does fear also have a good side? Does eternal love even exist? And how can grief and anger perhaps even help us? It's about gaining a deeper understanding of our emotions and inner life in order to get to know ourselves better. You learn a lot by reading, especially about yourself.
5. Your Fault by Mercedes Ron
Your faultis the second novel from theCulpa-Triology by Mercedes Ron and has been in the BookTok charts for a few weeks now.

6. The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read by Philippa Perry
The book you wish your parents had readappeared in the BookTok bestseller list a few months ago, disappeared and is now back in the ranking. Seems like Philippa Perry's non-fiction book is going viral on TikTok again. And we think that's a good thing. After all, you can learn a lot from the psychotherapist's wisdom. It's not just about questioning yourself and your own upbringing, but also asking yourself the question "Well, how do I want to raise my children myself and what can I do better?" The reading insider tip encourages you to learn from mistakes you make, to forgive and to also be aware that you will make mistakes. To do this, Philippa Perry gives readers a toolbox with which they can break behavioral patterns and deal with impulsive feelings. Not a classic parenting guide but an exciting read about what makes people tick (in matters of parenting).
7. A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
Even ifA little lifeby Hanya Yanagihara has been on the market for a while and is not necessarily an insider reading tip - after all, many of you have probably already heard of the novel - it has just appeared in the BookTok charts and entered the 15th place . Because we have already read the story of the four New Yorkers who first have to find each other in life and deal with trauma and found it to be extremely good, we don't want to withhold the viral TikTok insider tip from you. Just in case, you haven't gotten around to reading the epic about strokes of fate yetto browse through. We would definitely recommend it to you. The 900+ pages are worth it.
