Round Up Posts for Book Bloggers

Round up posts are great for SEO, shares, backlinks, and viral traffic. In fact, they are one of my favourite types of blog posts to create and I tend to feature them a lot on this blog.

Why Book Bloggers Should Use Round Up Posts

Book blogging is no different from any other blogging niche. It works on the same principle.

When you do a round up post you are featuring other people, or their content, in your blog post. This means that those people now have a vested interest in promoting that post.

It also often means a bunch of quality backlinks as they likely will want to use being featured as a way to increase their authority on the subject. They will therefore also help drive traffic to the post.

Creating round up posts is a great way to build relationships too. It gives you the chance to strengthen contacts you already have and to reach out and make new ones.

Expert round ups and content round ups

There are two main types of round up posts; Expert Round Ups, and Content Round Ups.

What are expert round ups?

This is when you reach out to experts in your niche and ask them a question. An example of this is a recent post I did about Best Tips for Book Bloggers. For the post I asked fellow book bloggers "You can give your fellow book bloggers one top tip, what is it?" and shared their feedback.

A large part of an expert round up is copy and paste as each expert will send you the content to include in your post. This makes it easy content as the main work is in formatting the post.

Hosting an expert round up post also strengthens your own position as an expert in your niche. By bringing your readers feedback and advice from other experts in your niche you become associated with experts, influencers, and well know people that cover the same topics you do. Your own authority on the subject therefore also increases.

What are content round ups?

In content round ups you are basically curating a list on content. These can be more work than an expert round up as you will likely need to visit a lot of blogs to put together the list.

In order for content rounds up to work they need to deliver value which means you need to go beyond just the link and say something about why it's worth visiting.

An example of a content round up is Book Blogger Posts September Round Up. I do a Book Blogger Round Up post towards the end of every month now.

Types of Round Up Posts for Book Bloggers

Here's a few ideas to inspire you to create some round up posts for your own book blog:

A collection of book reviews from different book bloggers for the same book
A collection of book reviews from different book bloggers from a specific genre
A collection of random book reviews (mix it up and add something from a variety of genres)
Bookish blog posts from other book bloggers
Ask a specific question to other book bloggers, publishers, authors, and share their answers
Best books in a specific genre
Books on your TBR- feature each book with a link to the author website/purchasing page
Top tips
Highlight different types of book bloggers (bookstagram, booktok, booktube, etc...)
How to guides (bring together expert advice on different aspects of book blogging)

What other kinds of round up posts would you add to this list? Do you do round up posts on your own book blog? Which are your favourite types of round up posts to create and why?

Book Blogger Posts Round Up

A collection of blog posts by book bloggers

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!

December 2023 Book Blogger Round Up

@WordsofMystery recapped what she read in the Fall. There’s a little bit of everything in this wrap-up. Read the full post here.

@ReadingLadiesBC reviewed The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown. "The Boys in the Boat is a story of competitive sport, history, and healing. Knowing that the boys in the boat eventually win gold does not detract from the compelling, nail-biting, (at times) suspenseful, and emotional story." Read the full post here.

@DanSamEnd reviewed Soldiers Don’t Go Mad by Charles Glass. "Soldiers Don’t Go Mad offers much food for thought. It’s an important read raising many questions that are still relevant today. It’s gripping and eye-opening – I highly recommend." Read the full post here.

November 2023 Book Blogger Round Up

@cjfriess reviewed KID CHRISTMAS of the CLAUS BROTHERS TOY SHOP by David Litchfield. "Kid Christmas is a wonderful story to read in the run up to the festive season. It beautifully conveys the message that Christmas is a season of giving and the importance of considering others that are less fortunate than us.". Read the full review here.

@alitescape did an ARC Review for Gwen & Art Are Not In Love by Lex Croucher. "GWEN & ART ARE NOT IN LOVE is a must read for fans of Arthurian-inspired tales who appreciate a more progressive and inclusive perspective.

@ReadingLadiesBC did a recap of her year in Non-fiction. Read the full post here.

@beccakateblogs reviewed Good Material by Dolly Alderton. "Good Material is an original, emotion-filled, honest read surrounding a break-up and it’s aftermath." Read the full review here.

October 2023 Book Blogger Round Up

@alitescape reviewed Kissing Kosher by Jean Meltzer. "Overall, though, I enjoyed KISSING KOSHER. It was an easy read with plenty of Jewish and chronic illness representation. You might also get a bit jealous that you don’t have your own challah or babka to munch on while reading this book. If you’re looking to diversify your reading, definitely pick up this rivals-to-lovers contemporary romance." Read the full review here.

@WorldsUnlikeOO did an ARC review for The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon. "Overall, while The Hurricane Wars had a weak start, it managed to mostly bounce back and turned into an entertaining read." Read the full review here.

I love this series and can’t wait to join Emba in the next book in the series, Emba Oak and the Screaming Sea. Jenny Moore’s writing is clever and flows perfectly, drawing the reader seamlessly from one well structured event to another. The cover illustration by David Dean with the dragon skull would entice any young fantasy reader to pick the book up and certainly made me excited to start reading." Read the full post here.

November 2022 Book Blogger Round Up

In her post Film of the book: ‘The Giver’ (2014) @nsfordwriter gives a great summary of the differences between the book and the film. "In the book, descriptions of colour are carefully avoided, as colour vision has been edited out of the genes. Except for Jonas, who occasionally sees flashes of colour. This is strikingly reflected in the film, which begins in monochrome, developing a muted palette as Jonas starts his training and finally becoming vibrant." Read the full post here.

@ReadingLadiesBC participated in Nonfiction November and gave a full recap of all the non fiction books she read this year and answered some questions about the books. Read the full post here.

@sarahbutland_co reviewed From Showing Off to Showing Up: An Impostor’s Journey from Perfect to Present by Nancy Regan.

@alitescape shared a review of Heart of the Sun Warrior by Sue Lynn Tan. "Sue Lynn Tan’s debut novel, DAUGHTER OF THE MOON GODDESS, was a delightful read full of adventure and sacrifice. But this sequel shines even brighter than its predecessor. Without a doubt the overarching theme of HEART OF THE SUN WARRIOR is love accompanied by sacrifice and hope. And with each of these things comes growth, which which is evident in the characters as well as the author." Read the full review here.

Book Blogger Posts Round Up

A collection of blog posts by book bloggers

It's that time again... Welcome back for another Book Bloggers Round Up!

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 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.

April 2024 Book Blogger Round Up

@WorldsUnlikeOO reviewed Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. "Fourth Wing was a solid read and a very promising start to a new series. It’s apparently going to be five books, which makes me very happy as it has been a while since I’ve had a longer fantasy saga to follow." Read the full post here.
