Damn, as a book cover illustrator/designer this is fascinating news. I've totally noticed cool developments/strategies on booktok getting readers excited for books as well. Not to mention all these special editions with painted edges and foiling, there just seems to be a lot more creativity going into books and book marketing during this renaissance!
It’s really cool. Speaking of book covers, I recently saw some statistics on how book covers have changed over the years for romance novels: pudding.cool/2023/10/romance-covers/
Seems like they got less ‘raunchy’ and more diverse.
I noticed this, too, and BookTok is something my wife is absolutely obsessed with. She ends up getting so many recommendations (and buying) most of the books that she she sees on there. Super cool to see this unfold.
