Cheers, TikTok. You’ve done something good.

I hope they aren’t over-extending themselves and heading for another crash. I honestly love B&N and want them to succeed. Obviously I support local bookstores when I can, but at this point I think it’s a net positive for book lovers if B&N can also thrive.

Happy to hear they are turning things around. I feel like big box bookstores and locally owned bookstores can coexist

I am wondering what’s going to happen to brick and mortar stores if the TikTok ban goes into effect. My Barnes and Noble, like many others, has a dedicated BookTok section. The clientele is a lot younger than 5+ years ago. Part of me hopes that BookTokers will keep up their reading habits, but another part of me thinks that TikTok generated a lot of book recommendations while also fostering a sense of a reading community. And if that mechanism goes away… are they going to enjoy wandering the shelves?
