Bookish Friends

The Ultimate BookTok Holiday Challenge

I’ve been on TikTok for over a year now. I think I thought it would be a “solve-all” to help me grow my blog and my bookish presence, but it hasn’t quite done it. However, that doesn’t change the fact that I actually enjoy it. Posting quick little videos is a fun way to share reviews. Plus, I have learned about so many new books and connected with some really fantastic people. If you have a TikTok, follow me!

2022 was the first year I did my annual holiday challenge on TikTok. In 2023, we’re going to see if I can manage both Boostagram and BookTok. Call it The Ultimate BookTok Holiday Challenge or the BookTok Year-End Wrap Up…it’s just a fun way for us too wrap up the year, talk about the books we’ve read, and our goals for next year.

Here are the rules…

Surprise! There are no rules. Reading is one of the lowest-pressure hobbies in the world. It wouldn’t be fair if I put rules in place for this challenge. It’s just a fun way for people on BookTok to connect and share books.

Now, a couple of notes though:

  • This is designed to be done every day in December, which is why there are 31 prompts.
  • Let’s all connect on by using the same hashtag! Use #booktokholidaychallenge and feel free to tag me! (@downthebookjar) I’ll repost!

Do the prompts in order. Do the prompts out of order. Do all the prompts. Do only a few of the prompts. Don’t do any of the prompts but follow the hashtags.

Do with it what you will! There are no rules to the BookTok Holiday Challenge.
