What is BookTok? BookTok is a TikTok subcommunity where users share recommendations, reviews, reactions, and open discussions about books. BookTok has become a powerful force for book sales, sometimes catapulting lesser-known authors onto bestseller lists as a direct result of viral videos. Some authors now work to get advance copies of their books into the hands of top BookTok creators to (hopefully) boost preorder sales. The BookTok community discusses books from all genres but has gained a reputation for elevating “smut” and “romantasy” (romance-fantasy) in the literary discourse.
Now, back to Small Hands’ big offer.
The OnlyFans star is offering to read trending BookTok titles on his OnlyFans—in exchange for a fee, of course. He is running a business here. If you had “adult film actor uses OnlyFans to boost literacy” on your 2024 bingo card, congratulations. We can’t say we saw that coming, but we’re not mad about it.
Given that much of the viral BookTok discourse revolves around “spicy” books, it makes sense for an award-winning adult film actor to tap into the trend. Blending the BookTok and OnlyFans audiences is a genius move on his part. Bookworms have made it clear that they enjoy titillating content in print, so why not let them experience it being read aloud by someone with the professional expertise to make it worthwhile?
Making reading sexy again benefits OnlyFans creators and readers alike. One has to wonder if Small Hands will continue to capitalize on this cultural moment. After all, for lovers of saucy books, who wouldn’t sign up for a book club curated by an award-winning adult entertainer? We’d be here for it.
It’s ironic that literary heroes used to wear tweed and elbow patches, and now people are signing up to hear words read by NSFW creators covered in tattoos who operate under stage names. Whatever it takes to boost literacy, right?
The written word is a powerful thing. It’s delightful that Small Hands is bringing this spicy renaissance to OnlyFans, sharing the joy of reading with a whole new audience. If you’re a subscriber, tune in! You never know when a sexy book read in a sultry voice will lead you to your next favorite series.
