Finding genuine book blogs that aren’t tied to major media sites or promotional platforms can be surprisingly difficult. Unlike travel blogging, book blogging is a more niche and quieter corner of the internet. But that’s also what makes it special. The bloggers who do stick with it are in it for the love of reading, not the clicks.
