This year I’m participating in the “2022 support book bloggers” challenge, created by Briana @ Pages Unbound. I think it’s a great way to uplift the community and support each other. For today’s post I’ll list 10 book bloggers I’ve really been loving ever since I created my blog, less than a year ago.
Now, I already wrote a post all about what blogs I’d been enjoying and since that one remains relevant, I’ll try to mention different bloggers here. So, definitely go check out that post—or my monthly wrap-ups, where I mention my favourite posts each month—for more amazing bloggers to check out!
1. Naemi @ A Book Owl’s Corner
I fell in love with Naemi’s blog from the first post I read. She writes very engaging discussions that often make me think but also extremely fun and original posts.
- Discussion: The Struggles of Reading Books in Foreign Languages and Why You Should Do it Anyway: This is the first post I read, and I thought it was a fascinating discussion that she articulated really well.
- Thank You For 400 Followers! – How to Get People to Engage with Your Blog: I went into this expecting one kind of post and got the complete opposite which was an unexpected nice surprise. This made me genuinely laugh.
- Are You Sure You Didn’t Misunderstand? || 7 Bookish Details I Got Completely Wrong As A Kid: This is such an interesting idea that I haven’t seen done before and it’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face (and make you think about what you totally misunderstood as a child).
2. Line @ First Line Reader
Usually, my favourite types of posts to read are discussions, and Line writes brilliant ones!
- Trope-Discussion #2: The Chosen One: This exploration of the chosen one trope is very interesting, and something I hadn’t really thought about prior to this post.
- What Is a Comfort Book To Me?: Line defines comfort books in an unexpected way, so you should totally check out this post.
- How Goodreads Choice Awards Sparked An Existential Crisis: As someone who overthinks a lot—I just like thinking, okay?—this resonates even though I’m not particularly concerned with the topic of the post.
3. Dini @ Dinipandareads
I started following Dini not that long ago—I think, time is weird—but I’ve really enjoyed her posts (and the incredibly cute graphics).
- Let’s Talk Bookish: Do Bloggers Owe Their Readers and Vice Versa?: This is a discussion that has been going around, and I loved reading Dini’s take on it.
- Let’s Talk Bookish: 2022 Reading/Blogging Goals: I really enjoy seeing what goals other readers set for themselves, as I often find inspiration in it.
- #TopTenTuesday: Online Resources for Book Lovers!: I love lists and I love learning of bookish resources that I might find useful, so this is perfect.
4. Vera and Sabrina @ Wordy and Whimsical
I don’t want to sound dramatic but I don’t think Sabrina and Vera have ever written a post I haven’t enjoyed reading. They consistently put out fantastic comment that I always want to read. As the kids says, they never miss.
- Fourteen Compelling Opening Lines from Books: I don’t usually pay that much attention to opening lines, so this was quite fascinating.
- Reading Multiple Books At Once: An amazing discussion about something that I’ve personally been doing more and more.
- Recommending Books Based on My Favorite Musicals: Although I’m not a musical connoisseur by any means, I do go through phases of listening to musicals almost exclusively, so this post was a joy to read.
5. Ashley @ The Infinite Library
Ashley’s posts are always fun to read and very aesthetically pleasing, which makes me happy.
- Spooktober: Books Based On Your Favourite Halloween/Horror Creatures: This is just a great recommendations list organised in a really smart way.
- Top 10 Tuesday: Book Titles that are Complete Sentences: Yet another thing I don’t usually pay much attention to that I loved reading about.
- Bookish Fun: Awesome International Book Covers: I really liked seeing how different covers from around the world are. And seeing some Spanish ones made me excited for some reason.
6. Phoenix @ Books with Wings
Phoenix is a fantastic blogger, who always comes up with the most interesting discussion topics.
- 5 Reasons I’m So Grateful for Blogging: Phoenix raises a sentiment that I do truly share and it was lovely to read.
- Sports in Books: A Discussion: I’m not a fan of sports in real life, but for some reason I’ve found myself gravitating towards stories that focus on them, so this post was truly interesting.
- Why aro/ace spec characters are so important in books: I always love discussions on the importance of representation, and this one is great!
7. Caro @ Bookcheshirecat
I just started reading Caro’s posts recently, but I immediately liked her content. Also, her blog is super aesthetically pleasing and cozy, which I can’t help but love.
- End of the Year Survey: 2021 Edition: She shared her reading stats for the year and it gave me a genuinely ridiculous amount of serotonin.
- Discussion: How have my Bookish Habits changed over the years?: This is a topic that I find absolutely fascinating and Caro wrote about it so well.
- 8 Books About Writers In Honor of #NaNoWriMo: This is a very specific recommendations list that I think many people would enjoy.
8. Kal @ Reader Voracious
I love Kal’s insights into the blogging world and I feel like she consistently put out great advice, which has been incredibly valuable to me and, I’m sure, many others.
- Top 20 Edgar Allan Poe Poems: A great list of recommendations of Poe’s poetry!
- Why Book Blogs are Relevant & Valuable Marketing Tools: This post has such valuable insight into blogging that is honestly very useful for newer bloggers like me.
- 10+ Affiliate Programs for Book Bloggers to Join: This is how I learnt about the Libro.fm ALC program, which has drastically changed my reading. It’s also a post I constantly go back to to learn more.
9. May @ Forever and Everly
I’ve truly been enjoying May’s blog—which just turned 5!—lately. She has lots to say and does so impeccably.
- My Book Review Writing Process + A Few Tips!: If you, like me, love seeing others writing processes, this is the post for you.
- How My Reading & Mindset About Reading Have Evolved This Year: An amazing and inspiring discussion that right now is very relevant to me personally.
- Do Book Ratings Have Anything to Do with Critical Reading??: My Thoughts on Why I’ve Been Rating Books Highly Lately: This is a discussion back from 2018, but it’s relevant and a fascinating look into the mind of a reader.
10. Saima @ Stories with Saima
Saima is a fellow newer blogger—which is insane because her blog feels to good to be barely 9-ish months old.
- 6 things I learnt after 6 months of blogging: Once again, I love blog posts about blogging and the blogging community and Saima shares some great insight here.
- books that terrified me: I don’t even read much horror but for some reason, scary books are my favourite type of recommendations. The title grabbed me immediately, and the post was great.
- revisiting favourites from 2020: I find the concept of revisiting favourites really interesting—and terrifying—so this was very cool to rea.
What are some of your favourite bloggers? What type posts do you usually enjoy reading the most?
Aww, this is such a sweet and helpful post, Maria! Thank you so much for mentioning me 🥰 Your blog is also one of my favorites, so that really means a lot!
And I’ll definitely be checking out your other recommendations! I do know several of the people you mentioned, but by no means all of them, so it seems I have some catching up to do 😉
As for other blogs I’d recommend, I think you already know quite a few of them. However, two I’d suggest you go check out are Nefeli @ Biblionebula and Emily @ Frappes and Fiction. While Nefeli doesn’t post often, every time she does is an absolute godsend – I seriously need to know where she gets her ideas because all of her posts are so unique and incredible! And in case you haven’t heard of Emily yet – she writes some of the best and most controversial discussion posts in this community, so I think you’d really enjoy them. And then she also occasionally blesses us with hilariously weird posts, like reflections on her experience trying to teach an AI to write book reviews…

Thanks for commenting! I do follow Emily, but I’ll have to check out Nefeli, so thanks for the recommendation!

This just made my day. Thank you so much for mentioning me, Maria! 🥰 Discussions are also my favorite posts to read, but anything fun or different will get my attention too. Which meant that I found quite a few new blogs to follow from this post 😄
And other blogs I love? I saw that Naemi has already mentioned Nefeli @Biblionebula and I just want to second that. She’s amazing and her posts always manage to make me laugh somehow. And then I noticed how you seem to like the aesthetically pleasing blogs (me too) and my favorite one in that area is Amber @The Literary Phoenix. She writes some pretty interesting and unique discussions too!

We definitely have similar tastes 😊 I’ll check out both Nefeli and Amber. And yes, aesthetic blogs are just super appealing, by no means the end all be all, but it’s a nice plus!
