The Best Book Blogs That Do Free Book Reviews | BookSirens

Find book review blogs, vlogs, and bookstagrams to promote your book

Reach the most popular book blogs

The book blog sites listed in our directory are vetted for quality: they are active, have clear review policies, and usually have a good following on social media. In fact, the ~1000 book blogs in our catalog have a cumulative following of over 1,000,000 readers. The most popular book review sites in our catalog have between 10,000 and 70,000 followers.

Many of these sites not only review books but also accept guest posts, do cover reveals, and participate in blog tours. While the top book blogs tend be YA book review blogs and romance book review blogs, we also feature less common genres like travel book review blogs, business book review blogs, comic book blogs, and paranormal book blogs.

Increase your response rates

Book promotion blogs are in demand because they provide a valuable service: free book reviews and book promotion. We surveyed ~500 book bloggers and learned that ~25% of book pitches they receive don't match their preferences. Some bloggers reported as high as 50%! Not only are book bloggers often getting irrelevant requests, but they are also busy. Book blogging is their spare-time hobby, not their job.

We have curated a large book blogger list so you have the necessary information at your fingertips to craft a personalized and relevant book pitch to book bloggers. These bloggers have opted-in to be in our directory, so they are expecting your email.

Here are some tips to optimize your response rates:

  • Address them by their first name. Bonus points if you also peruse their blog and find something in common to break the ice.
  • Mention how your book's genre fits into their reading preferences. For example, don't send your mystery novel to horror book review blogs. Send it to mystery book review blogs instead.
  • Provide them a format of your book that they will actually read.
  • Be nice!

Save time with smart filters

Looking for the top YA book blogs? Or perhaps you want to connect with Christian book bloggers? Maybe you want to restrict your search to the best book blogs in the UK? We have you covered. You can start by searching our book blogger directory by genre to see the book blogs which review books in the genre you searched for.

You can further narrow down the search results based on whether the blog is currently open to review requests, is a free book review site, is an ebook blog, is open to self-published authors, and cross posts their book review on Amazon and Goodreads. Best of all, we keep every site's preferences up to date, so you can be confident that you are not missing out on potential leads.

We surveyed ~100 indie authors and publicists and learned that the average indie author spends between 6-24 hrs contacting book reviewers to review their book. Our search tool will reduce your time investment considerably, so you can win back your time and do what you do best — write! And best of all, it is free :)

I've self-published for the past six years, and this is the best so far. It's because all reviewers listed are up to date, rather than being added and then left to linger as an after-thought, long after hey have packed up and left. Also, I really like the fact that you can search by genre, which is very important. Highly recommended.

This is as simple as it gets! With a list of hundreds of blogs, you can find someone willing to review your book in two clicks. In a week of perusing the website, I found more bloggers in my genre and had more responses than in the months I had been trying on my own.
