What is a book blog?
A book blog is any blog focused on reading, writing, or the publishing world, whether it features long-form essays, author interviews, reviews, recommendations, or industry insights.

Even if blogging feels overlooked in 2025, the past year has proven the value of owning your content and controlling its distribution. Whether platforms are shutting down, changing their terms of service, or updating their algorithms, having a standalone blog on an open source platform like WordPress makes your content more resilient to a changing media landscape.
