Blog It Out! 9 Of The Best Book Blogs To Get Addicted To

With so many options for readers these days, from classics to traditionally published books to the ever-growing world of indie publishing, it can be easy to get lost in the weeds of a lot of things that aren’t your speed, style, or let’s face it, maybe they just suck. Product reviews and ratings can only get us so far, and sometimes it can be quite amazing to connect with a group of like-minded readers who can’t get enough of the type of books that you love.

Book blogs can be some of the best places for readers to turn to connect over books and get recommendations about books they might actually end up loving. This list is by no means exhaustive, though it is a good place to start if you need a little guidance, or just plain human connection, in your reading life.

Omnivoracious, Amazon’s official book blog, is a great place to stay up to date on all things books. From reviews to interviews with authors, to updates on the industry, the blog covers all genres for all ages. It’s a great place of curated information for any reader.
