August 2025 Book Blogger Posts Round Up

A collection of blog posts by book bloggers

Welcome to another Book Bloggers Round Up post! Let's see what book bloggers posted about during August.

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.

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

@ReadingLadiesBC shared Book Recommendations to End Your Reading Slump.

@leftontheshelf1 reviewed The Youngster by Bibi Berki. "This is an outstanding book. It oozes with tension.

I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a psychological thriller written with literary style." Check out the full review here.

@fannaforbooks did a post to highlight New SFF Books Out August 2025.

It’s not an explosive read, but the action is non-stop, the adrenaline is at an all-time high, and the suspense is through the roof." Read the full review here.

@_forbookssake reviewed Never Lie by Freida McFadden. "There’s so much hype around her books, but after finishing Never Lie, I can’t say I get it… This book wasn’t bad, but it certainly didn’t live up to the hype." Read the full review here.

@owlbookworld did a post 9 Dark Academia Books for back to school thrills.

Book Blogging in 2025 Survey

Book Blogger Survey Results and Statistics

For the past few years I've done an annual Book Blogging Survey to see what stats look like for book blogs.

I wanted to be able to offer and encourage more transparency about the statistics of book bloggers by trying to get a better idea about average book blogging statistics.

Here you can find the results for 2022, 2023 and 2024.

So, welcome to the Book Blogging in 2025 Survey Results!

As I did in previous years, I'll be comparing my findings with the results from past years to see if the same answers still apply in 2025.

Book Blogging 2025 Survey

Now it's time to see how this years results match up with previous years.

I set up a thread of polls on my Twitter profile, just like I did in previous years, using the same four questions.

Book Blogging in 2025 Survey Results

How long have you been book blogging?

Less than a year 4.3%

1-5 years 26.1%

5-10 years 39.1%

Over 10 years 30.4%

This year shows a slight increase in the percentage of new book blogs compared to last year 4% in 2024 (It was 4.1% in 2022 and 6.3% in 2023).

I'm happy to see that the 5-10 years category has had the highest percentage this year and that the over 10 years category has grown too. This is good news as it means a lot of those same book bloggers are still going. Experienced, dedicated book bloggers still sharing their love of reading!

How many page views do you get per month on average?

Less than 5K 65.2%

5K-10K 13%

10K-20K 8.7%

Over 20K 13%

The highest percentage remains the less than 5K category (it was 64% in 2024). 5K-10K and 10K-20K have both increased, however, the over 20K category is less than last year (16% in 2024).

There are numerous reasons why you might experience a decrease in page views and whilst some; posting quality content, correct SEO, promotion etc... are things you'll need to work on others aren't caused by the blogger e.g. changes in search engine algorithms or evolving user behaviour.

On average, how many comments do you get on your blog each day?

0-5 86.4%

6-10 9.1%

11-20 0%

Over 20 4.5%

This continues to be one of the areas where the majority continues to struggle. The 0-5 category has consistently been the majority each year (88% in 2022, 87% in 2023 and 84% in 2024).

Where does most of your blog traffic come from?

Search engines 57.1%

Social media links 38.1%

Newsletter subscribers 0%

Other 4.8%

Search engines continue to be the highest source of traffic for book blogs with social media in second place again.

This is the second year in a row that Newsletters have got 0% (2% in 2022, 4.3% in 2023 and 0% in 2024). This could be an indication that Newsletters are no longer worth investing in.

The Other category (14.3% in 2022, 12.8% in 2023 and 5.9% in 2024) has also been reduced yet again.

If you know of other surveys offering statistics to do with book blogging please let me know about them in the comments section below.

Conclusion

I hope this survey has given you some valuable insight into the world of book blogging and sparked a few new thoughts along the way.

No matter where you are in your book blogging journey, know that you're not alone. Many of us face similar challenges, even those who’ve been at it for years. So if you’re feeling stuck or discouraged, hang in there.

Were any of the results surprising to you? How do you compare to the average book blogger based on these stats?

@WordsofMystery did a post sharing reviews for Something like Fate and Time Loops & Meet Cutes. Check out both reviews here.

@DanSamEnd reviewed Kill Creatures by Rory Power. "A completely ensnaring read; secrets, jealousy and revenge collide with brutal consequences.

@BooksCozy reviewed A Palace Near the Wind by Ai Jiang. "This may be a novella, but it packs a punch and content wise, it is actually “PACKED”.

Read the full review of A Palace Near the Wind here.

@WordsofMystery did a post with book reviews for Solving for the Unknown by Loan Le, "An emotional and heartwarming read, Loan Le’s follow-up to her debut novel was well worth the almost four years wait!" & First Love Language by Stefany Valentine "Even if you’re not an interracial adoptee, if you come from a multilingual background, you may be able to relate to Catie’s struggles and traumas in her language-relearning journey."
