CroatiaA 20-year-old student named Ella Hasel, originally from Vinkovci, started a blog called 'Knjiški recenzeRAJ' while still in high school. The blog, which she initially ran secretly, has grown into a community with over 20,000 members across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Through her work, she reviews books and promotes reading among young people, leveraging social media to connect with others who share her passion for literature. She has also launched a podcast and collaborates with publishers. Despite common perceptions that younger generations don’t read much, Hasel believes this is more a matter of perspective and environment. She notes that her experience changed after moving to Zagreb for university, where she found many peers who shared her interests. She sees social media as a crucial tool in reviving interest in reading, especially among Generation Z.
