If you thought social media was just a place for viral dances and cat photos, think again.

Popular influencers on apps like TikTok and YouTube have been boosting book sales with their videos.

And many are watched by millions.

The BookTok community on TikTok has been influential in encouraging users — who are often young people — to buy real books in bookshops.

But a survey from 2022 found that YouTube is actually the most popular place for young people to discover new books on social media.

The survey was done in November 2022 by Nielsen Book Data. It found that in the UK, 34% of people aged between 14 and 25 used YouTube — which is known for its BookTube community — for their book ideas.

TikTok was used by 32%, and 27% went to Instagram to find out about new books.

Some reports in recent years have said that young people are reading less than ever. But according to The Guardian, people in the 14 to 25 age group bought around 61 million books in the UK in 2022.

This was 18% of all books bought.

And it's not just social media where they're finding reading recommendations.

The most common way to discover new books is by talking to friends. Forty-one percent said they do this, while 35% find out about their books by visiting bookshops.

The survey also reported that fantasy action and fantasy adventure stories are the most popular among young people.

 استماع نص مختصر عن   تاريخ البن اليمني ( موكا كوفي )

ADEL ALBANNA: A PROFISSIONAL ARABIC TEACHER

البن اليمني ( موكا كوفي )

"Скучно Егорке целый день в избе. Глянет в окошко: бело кругом. Замело лесникову избушку снегом. Белый стоит лес...."
Краткое содержание:
Главному герою всего тринадцать лет, и он любит охотиться в лесу. Мальчик живёт с отцом-лесником в своей избушке в лесу. Как-то раз мальчик отпросился у отца на охоту. Отец согласился, ведь он знал, что сын опытный охотник и у него есть ружье, так что ему нечего бояться. Но мальчик не возвратился. Отец пошел на поиски ночью, но не смог ничего найти. Утром он продолжил искать, и по следам на снегу смог найти сына. Мальчик сидел на дереве, потому что спасался от волков.

Рассказ В. Бианки "По следам"

More than half of US adults work while they're on vacation, according to a new survey.

A public relations company called Movchan Agency found that 54% of Americans sometimes or always work while they're on holiday.

There's a name for taking a trip and bringing your work with you: a "workcation."

This is usually something a worker plans, letting them get a break from the office without using up paid days off.

But according to the survey, some people have no choice — their work follows them even when they want to take a break.

So while 34% of people said they work on vacation because they love what they do, 29% do it because they're afraid of losing their job.

And about a quarter of people said their boss even asks them to work when they're on holiday.

Almost half of the people surveyed said they feel guilty if they're not working during their vacation.

The report says its results show that workplace boundaries have been broken, and burnout is on the horizon.

Many people are already feeling burned out by work. Others admitted to arguing with a partner during their holiday because of the work they're doing on vacation, while almost half have canceled an activity on their trip for work reasons.

Business psychologist Roger Hall told Fox Business that we need to use holiday time to rest our minds.

He said: "The human brain needs time for rest and quiet in order to repair itself."

He added that because many of us can work from anywhere, we don't get that rest.
