Book Tracker Gains Traction on BookTok
A book-tracking app is climbing fast in January 2026.
Margins lets readers search books by “vibes” and track their progress.
It’s now sitting in the Top 100 for the Books category internationally.
On the ambassador side, one template keeps repeating: a creator opens with a confused expression and a question hook aimed at BookTok.
Two creators hit breakout views using the same opening line:
“book girlies what book tracking app are we using in 2026 because goodreads is not it for me anymore”
@jenna.thomas3 hit 1.5M views (Dec 9, 2025).
@readingwithabagail hit 545K views (Dec 14, 2025).
They also run partnerships with BookTok influencers to position the app as a “go-to” recommendation. For example:
@mariannasreads hit 370K views (Dec 31, 2025).
