Meanings
- The online community and subculture of book lovers.
I was inspired by all my newfound Bookternet friends—readers, writers, bloggers, booksellers, publishing world types, and fellow refugees.

Through Goodreads, I was drawn into the world of the “bookternet,” an internet subculture of book-geeks, mostly young women who may have started their reading fanaticism with Harry Potter.
2018, Rebecca Hill, “Read Another Book: Repeat When Necessary”, in Jonathan Chambers, Stephannie S. Gearhart, editors, Reversing the Cult of Speed in Higher Education: The Slow Movement in the Arts and Humanities, page 176To my whole Booktube, Bookternet family, ALL OF YOU: Thank you for being the best, kindest, most welcoming, most understanding, most supportive, gorgeous friends a girl could ask for.
2019, "Acknowledgements", in Christine Riccio, Again, but Better, page 376
