How the BookTok favorites timeline game works
Every card is a novel that took off with readers on BookTok, and the task is to order them by the year each was first published. The author's name sits under each title. You start with one book already on the line and its year in view. Then take the books one at a time and set each in the gap where you think it belongs. Get it right and the publication year shows. Get it wrong and it's still moved to its real place, but you lose a life. You have three to begin with, and ten correct books in a row win one back.
Most of the deck is fantasy romance, romantic comedy, thriller and literary fiction, and many of the authors have several cards. The big trap is that going viral and being published are different moments: plenty of these books sat on shelves for years before videos made them famous. Within a series or an author's catalog, the reading order is your best guide. Standalone novels are harder, so think about when you first heard of the book, then assume it came out earlier than that.
Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
