Help: a how-to for new Book Bloggers

I believe in helping other Bloggers like me who need assistance in starting their own Book Blog. Mostly because, I wish that someone had helped me out when I first started reviewing books. Don’t get me wrong: hard work = getting noticed. No one should have the things in life handed to them on a silver platter. But there are things that some newbies don’t know or can’t find out there on the internet. 

So, I wanted to be a change in that. Here’s my little guide on how to make your YA Book Blog take flight!



  • It’s all in the name! It’s very true. Picking a unique and catchy blog name is what makes you stand out from the rest. 
  • Content needs to be creative. Don’t copy (unless it’s a meme but we’ll get to those later on) because that’s the number one rule of blogging. Who likes a copy-cat? It’s the worst thing to see Bloggers copying each other. Individuality is key.
  • So, you’re ready to post something? FIND YOUR VOICE. Talk from the heart, with your unique voice and POV on the world. Be yourself, don’t take it too seriously and don’t forget to spell-check and make your rating system clear-cut for your readers to know whether they’d like to read a book you’ve reviewed. 
  • On to Memes. There’s Top Ten Tuesday, Waiting on Wednesday and so many more. I even created some of my own: Sister Book Swap and Seasonal Reads! Taking part in these can actually give you a few views, too! By tagging, choosing the right key words and commenting on other blogs taking part, you could even make yourself some blogger friends!
  • Social media! It’s the best! Even if you don’t have them all, sharing your posts and creating a name for yourself is what cements your place in the YA community. Make friends, share ideas, get involved! 
  • Editing pictures is a grueling task for many. If you find it’s not in your budget to get Photoshop (with you on that one!) there are SO MANY other options! There’s Ribbet, PicMonkey, Paint.net and many more free image editors. For Bookstagram wise, my favourite apps are VSCO and then I use Planoly to organise my posts. All these apps are free to use and APP store. 
  • The last step? It’s simple. READ. READ. READ. I know it’s a cliche, but reading makes you a better writer (if that’s your dream) and helps you get into the reviewing groove. Don’t forget that sometimes, inspiration can run dry. But that’s okay! Reminding yourself that you’re doing the best job is what you need. 

If you still need some help, quote “Blogger Help” in your message to me. I’ll see if I can extend some knowledge!

books I will always recommend to friends & readers books I will always recommend to friends & readers ♡ 

I’ve been meaning to make one of these posts for ages, but it never quite worked out until now. The summer (so far) has been full of great reads and even greater memories, so I had plenty of new recommendations for you. There’s more to come from me and my blog (you might’ve noticed a little rebrand of logo designs and changes lately—it’s now all done!) so I’m definitely bursting with content to share. I firmly believe there’s a book for everyone, we just have to find our genre: so let’s find it together 🫶🏻

hi loves! 🌸 I just got back from the most glori hi loves! 🌸
I just got back from the most gloriously beautiful holiday to East Devon, nestled in an idyllic lodge on the edge of a seaside village by the Jurassic Coast ✨ it was truly like a Nancy Meyers movie (my favourite!) and we had an incredible time taking time to ourselves and enjoying time together chilling, exploring and of course reading! I began @emilyhenrywrites Happy Place whilst there and let me tell you: my heart has never been happier! What a stunning/emotional book 🥹 the setting was *chef’s kiss* because of our location, and I found myself settling in to *my* happy place with my comfort author 🥰 I took this picture at Bridport Harbour where we had chips and whippy ice cream and stared at the ocean that glistened icy blue like it was full of diamonds 💎 🌊 I do love being away but missed home terribly, so I’m now back into my routine after that massive post-holiday crash that felt like the worlds worst hangover crossed with being drained of life by some kind of energy-seeking vampire 😂 I have so many more pictures to share so do check out my story highlights! 🫶🏻 here’s to summer and so many memories 💛🌼

also: happy bank holiday weekend to those celebrating/relaxing in the gorgeous weather! 🌞

“make the fireflies dance, silver moon's sparkli “make the fireflies dance, silver moon's sparkling. . .” 🪩💋

𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮 @rachelbatemanbooks 🫶🏻 MAKE THE FIREFLIES DANCE is a contemporary YA rom-com about blind dates, first kisses, and a surprise romance set around the end of senior year and prom. Quincy Walker is a hopeless romantic, so when she's kissed by a stranger in a dark theater, her rom-com obsessed imagination begins plotting the perfect movie-version ending to her senior year (which ends, like all great high school rom-coms, with the prom) 💜

My review is ⚡️live⚡️ on my blog (link in bio) but in short, I called it: a glorious, charming ode to growing up and owning the magic in the messiness of love and being human. 

Sound like your kind of read? Do you prefer Romance or Mystery (or a mix of both?) Let me know in the comments! 📖🛻🪲

THIS BOOK KILLS 🔪📖 First things first: this THIS BOOK KILLS 🔪📖

First things first: this book had one of the best narrators I’ve read in a long time. Jess had this witty humour as she told the story of how Hugh Henry Van Boren became to be, well, no longer living 💀 At the prestigious Heybuckle boarding school, there’s a murderer lurking… read the enticing first page on the second slide and then head to the link in my bio to see my blog tour stop with review, murder mystery playlist and why I rated #ThisBookKills five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

(gifted book/merch by @usborneya for a fair, unbiased review.)
