Summary: Tasnim Geedi loves to read. That love of reading led her to start posting about books on TikTok. She has gained a loyal following as a #BookTok influencer, @groovytas, with over 127,000 followers and almost six million likes. BookTok is the corner of TikTok where users share and discuss books. This month Geedi is a panellist on Canada Reads, an annual competition where five prominent Canadians each champion a different Canadian book based on a theme. Over four days, they debate and battle it out until one book is declared the winner. This year's theme is "one book to shift your perspective." Geedi is championing Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Original publication date: March 24, 2023.
