I have not heard of BookTok before. So I'll have to check it out before I could comment on it decently. I typically have four or five books I'm reading concurrently, usually fiction, nonfiction, plays, poetry and a book on CD. So if I want to relax I might read something just for fun (like the Great Irish Tales of Horror I'm enjoying because it's October) or if I'm more energized take on something more challenging like the play Volpone by Ben Jonson. All candy and cookies all the time is likely not good for anyone.

I have mixed feelings on booktok. The prevalent feeling is happiness that more people are reading! Simply that. I also think that anyone can read whatever book they want and no one should judge or feel superior. However, I do think some books that are releasing fall into the booktok trap where they almost make sure to check the tropes off their list rather than write their story. Also, I have seen some toxicity, but everything has that!
