Book Blogger Posts Round Up

A collection of blog posts by book bloggers

Looking for new bookish content to read? Want to discover some new book bloggers to follow?  Look no further!

I introduced this new feature here on the blog in May 2021 to showcase blog posts by other book bloggers. I'll be linking up a variety of blog posts so hopefully there will be something to suit all tastes.

The following posts were submitted for inclusion in this round up via my Twitter, where I asked for posts. I'll be continuing to do this every month.

Why?

Because I like reading blog posts by other book bloggers and thought you might too. Finding the time to scan through various social media feeds to find suitable content can take up valuable time though and so I figured I'd make it easier and put together a collection here on the blog.

My plan is to include a wide variety of content so there's something for everyone. You'll find book reviews, interviews, discussion pieces and more...

Want to be included in future round ups? Follow my Twitter profile and keep an eye out for the submission tweet.

August 2022 Book Blogger Round Up

@Mehsi_Hime did The Summer Bucket List Book Tag. This fun tag had her picking books set by the water, books that left her starstruck, books that she couldn’t put down, and more...

@nsfordwriter asked the question Should fictional characters be ‘likeable’? and brought up some interesting points. 

@kalventure delved into the topic of How to Manage ARC Stress & live your best bookish life offering some great tips for reducing ARC-related stress.

@Greenreadsbook1 reviewed Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North by Rachel Joyce. "This is a very slim book at 128 pages, but it packs a punch and fills the gaps and more." Read the full review here.

@TheBurgeBkshelf reviewed Lily Harford's Last Request by Joanna Buckley. "Lily Harford's Last Request is an emotional read. The highly emotive topic of euthanasia will open up some heated discussions." Read the full review here.

@BookMeSomeTime joined the blog tour for You Again by Dianna Roman and did a review. "I definitely recommend this book if you enjoy m/m, funny romance, strangers to friends to lovers, and if you’re looking for a fast paced romance." Read the full review here.

@alitescape reviewed Four Treasures of the Sky by Jenny Tinghui Zhang. "Although the events in this novel are far from beautiful, the story flows across the pages with tragic grace. It feels odd to say I enjoyed this book given its somber content. But I enjoyed it in the sense that I am in awe of Zhang’s lyrical arrangement of language to tell Daiyu’s story." Read the full review here. 

@WordsofMystery was fell ill in July which changed her plans for the summer but she still managed to read some good books and shared about them in her post what I read this summer. 

@paperbackpixie reviewed The Cruel Prince by Holly Black. "Fantasy novels and I barely get along because I feel like the market is very oversaturated with fantasy. After a while, I start to hate the repetition of the same plot recycled again and again. I didn’t experience this frustration with The Cruel Prince and it is the first fantasy book in a while that I have actually enjoyed – which I assure is no small feat." Read the full review here. 

@historyneverwas reviewed Daughter of Maat by Sandy Esene. "The use of Egyptian mythology and gods in this book is top notch, going far beyond the basic information most folks know about the Egyptian pantheon." Read the full review here.
