Abstract

Social media platforms have enabled people with common interests to connect in virtual environments. Thus, online literary communities bring together readers who seek to promote sharing and dialog within platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, encouraging the habit of reading. The general aim of this study was to understand the perceptions of readers of physical and digital books about consumption and engagement in literary communities on social networks. To this end, a qualitative study was carried out, with data collected through interviews with 19 fiction book readers active in literary communities. From the analysis, it was identified that the main motivators for consumption were related to aesthetic and technical aspects of the book, as well as social aspects, coming mainly from referrals and community discussions. It was also possible to identify the great influence of social media and content creators in promoting interaction and engagement in literary communities.
