Book Blogger Posts Round Up

A collection of blog posts by book bloggers

Welcome back for another Book Bloggers Round Up! Let's see what book bloggers have been posting about during November.

Disclosure: The FTC Disclosure Provision is a law that requires influencers to disclose when they are being paid to promote a product or service. So please know that if I'm not making money through affiliate links/sponsored content on the post you're currently reading, it's an oversight on my part and will be corrected soon. Read the full disclosure about all the legal stuff here.

I introduced this feature here on the blog in May 2021 to showcase blog posts by other book bloggers and as it continues to be a popular series I've decided to continue again this year too.

Each month I'll include a wide variety of content so there's something for everyone. You'll find book reviews, interviews, discussion pieces and more...

So if you're looking for new bookish content to read and/or want to discover some new book bloggers to follow, look no further!

Why I do this feature:

Scanning through various social media feeds to find suitable content can take up valuable time and so I figured I'd make it easier and put together a collection here on the blog.

It's also a way for me to highlight some of the other great book bloggers out there and help promote books and reading at the same time.

How it works:

Each month I do a post via my Twitter, where I offer the opportunity for book bloggers to submit posts published during that month for inclusion in this round up. I do this every month.

November 2024 Book Blogger Round Up

@GinaRaeMitchell was part of a blog tour for Crossing Day by William A. Glass and shared her review. "While the story’s themes may be heavy, they resonate deeply, prompting reflection on the values we hold dear. Glass’s novel is a poignant reminder of history’s enduring impact and the importance of standing against tyranny." Read the full review of Crossing Day here.

@booklorefairy reviewed Moving is Murder by Nellie H. Steele. "I enjoyed reading this book a lot. There were so many sweet and calm moments so if you're looking for something heartwarming yet still brimming with mystery, you should certainly pick this book up."

@_forbookssake reviewed Everything Happens For A Reason by Danny Care. "This book is incredibly honest, beautifully written, and a joy to read. DC’s love for his family, for his teammates, and for rugby as a whole are the true highlight of his story, and I’m grateful that he has shared it with us all." Read the full review of Everything Happens For A Reason here.

@SifaPoulton reviewed Barrington Stoke’s Classics Retold; FRANKENSTEIN and GREAT EXPECTATIONS by Tanya Landman. "Barrington Stoke, the UK’s specialist in books for dyslexia and reluctant readers, is releasing retellings of the classics that are far more accessible." Read the full reviews here.

@leftontheshelf1 shared her review of The Foyles Bookshop Girls' Promise by Elaine Roberts as part of a blog tour. "It is a well written book with fantastic characters who I was completely engaged by. I felt frustrated every time I had to put it down, and I could hardly wait to get back to it. It had everything that you would expect to find in a book of this genre; great characters in a historical setting with a bit of romance and angst to add to the tension." Read the full review of The Foyles Bookshop Girls' Promise here.

@DanSamEnd reviewed Ice Town by Will Dean. "An addictive story that’s fantastic from the first page – it’s dark, insightful, intricately plotted, and tremendously tense." Read the full review of Ice Town here.

@TStrawberryPost did a lovely Tribute to Victoria Zigler: Author, Blogger and Friend. Read the full post here.

@EastHullPete reviewed The Enigma Girl by Henry Porter. "This is a lengthy novel, some might think a little too long, but there is an awful lot to pack in and it never becomes a dull read." Read the full review of The Enigma Girl here.

As some of you already know, I run a Facebook group called Bookish Blog Hops over at https://www.facebook.com/groups/127759384464964/. The main role of this group is for organising Bookish Blog Hops so we can all collaborate together sharing our love of books, and help drive traffic to our sites whilst also creating quality backlinks (which in turn will help our sites rank better in search engine algorithms). It's a fun way to network with other blog bloggers and support each other.

As there is often a gap between one blog hop and another, I decided to add some new features to the group starting from this month.

For the Authors in the group

As there are lots of authors in the group, I decided set up a thread where they can post for support/request hosting. This is to make sure we don't get posts in the group that might distract from our main purpose. I will do a post like this once a month.

If you are an author with a book to promote you may use ONLY the support thread to comment about your book, where bloggers can sign up to host you, etc...

The bloggers in the group then try to support these authors if and when they can by hosting them on their blogs/social media channels.

Just a way to make it easier for us all to support our little internet family.

For book bloggers

Everyone in the group is a book blogger and so I obviously wanted to give some space to help each other and so, I will also be doing weekly support threads for bloggers to give us all another way to support each other and increase traffic and comments on our blogs.

The Next Bookish Blog Hop

I'm going to be very busy over the next few months, and so decided to organise our next blog hop for the summer. This also gives us more time to get organised and will hopefully mean more people will be able to participate both as hosts, and by answering each question for the posts. My Bookish Summer will be a month long blog hop taking place from 1st-31st July 2018.
