Which Authors Have Won Multiple BookTok Awards?

I feel like the whole BookTok awards thing is still a bit fluid and unofficial, honestly. Awards on that platform are more about which books went viral in a year and which creators decided to make a bracket about it, you know? So when you ask about 'multiple awards,' it's less about a formal ceremony and more about which authors consistently show up in those viral 'best of' lists. Off the top of my head, Colleen Hoover is basically inescapable. Every other 'most devastating read' or 'romance that made me sob' list has 'It Ends with Us' or 'Ugly Love' on it. She's won like, the unofficial 'most likely to make you cry at 2 AM' award for years running.

Madeline Miller is another one who gets that deep literary love. 'The Song of Achilles' and 'Circe' aren't just BookTok favorites; they're books that get passed around like sacred texts. People treat finding those quotes about grief and love like a personal discovery, and that kind of staying power means she's always in the conversation for 'best mythological retelling' or 'most beautifully written.' It's less about a trophy and more about permanent real estate on everyone's 'favorites' shelf.

Then there are authors like R.F. Kuang, who seem to win the 'brainy but brutal' category whenever it pops up. 'Babel' and 'The Poppy War' series get hailed for their complexity and unflinching themes. I'd say she's a lock for any 'best fantasy' or 'most thought-provoking' list the community cooks up. The throughline for all of them is that they wrote a book that sparked a very specific, very shareable feeling—heartbreak, awe, or righteous anger—and then they did it again.
