Ever wondered if artificial intelligence can really understand your reading taste?
We asked 5 different AI models to recommend us an emotional BookTok favorite — and the results were fascinating.
In the age of TikTok-powered reading trends and AI-generated recommendations, we set out on a fun experiment:
Ask 5 top AI chatbots the same question and compare their BookTok book picks.
🧠 The Prompt We Gave Every AI
To keep things fair, we asked each AI the exact same question:
“Can you recommend one popular BookTok novel that’s emotional and comforting — something about sadness and healing?”
The idea was to find a book that reflects emotional depth, relatability, and a sense of catharsis — all qualities BookTok readers love.

🤖 Let AI Decode Your Reading Taste
Forget scrolling endlessly through bestseller lists. Now, by simply telling ChatGPT your mood, favorite genre, or recently read titles, you can receive tailor-made book recommendations.
For example:
“I’m feeling mentally drained lately and really enjoyed I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki. Can you recommend something healing and emotional?”
From such prompts, AI analyzes emotional tone, literary themes, and narrative styles to recommend books that resonate with your current state of mind.
🔍 Matching BookTok Trends with Personal Preferences
BookTok has gone viral for a reason — emotional resonance, quick summaries, and passionate community reviews. With AI, you can now filter through the most trending BookTok titles and isolate the ones that actually suit your taste.
Ask ChatGPT:
“From the current BookTok trending books, which ones would match my emotional preferences?”
