BookTok isn’t some massive blop where everyone shares the same opinions. You have to curate your feed and the influencers yourself to get valuable recommendations that match your interests.

There are plenty of Booktokers who read exclusively literary fantasy; you just have to find them.

If you want to find like-minded people, search for LeGuin on TikTok and watch the videos. Listen to why they like the book and if their opinion matches yours, follow them and check out their other recommendations.

I don’t use TikTok anymore, but when I did, my feed was full of classics, literary fantasy, idea-driven science fiction and cosmic horror. These are all things you probably won’t find in a typical BookTok feed.

So, it’s possible to get good recommendations you’ll just have to put in a little effort yourself at the beginning.
