31 blogtober ideas for book bloggers
Hi everyone and welcome to Owl Book World. October is coming up and you know what that means! Blogtober is coming up for any blogger. But since I’m a book blogger I will be aiming this more towards other book bloggers. I hope you enjoy it and get some helpful ideas out of it!
It’s something that I have probably participated in once and I may do it again. But it does take a lot of work because you write a post for every day of October. I know there are some who can do it and I might try again next year but I’ll have to plan for it months ahead of time! So what exactly is blogtober?
What is blogtober?
Blogtober takes place in the month of October (hence where the name comes from). It’s a yearly thing that gets bloggers excited for the fall season and the holidays. This is where we talk about anything fall and Halloween-related. This includes scary books and movies that you just love to talk about. For a while, I’ve been wanting to make a list of posts for book bloggers to talk about during this event. That’s because sometimes it is so hard to find things to talk about other than books. Or most of the topics we end up thinking about literally every other blogger is talking about too. On top of that, I see multiple bloggers using the same ideas and that’s fine but I also want to talk about things that every other blogger won’t be talking about as well.
So, this year I’ll probably post a few blogtober posts during the times I normally post! Some of them might be the blogtober ideas that I’ve posted here but if I end up thinking of anything else to post then I will probably change things up.
So here are 31 book bloggers:
- Book reviews (Duh!)
- Top horror movies
- Top horror books
- horror subgenres you like and why
- Horror books that weren’t as creepy as you thought it would be
- Books that gave you nightmares
- Books with crazy endings
- Creepy covers
- Favorite reading spots during the fall
- Books that take place on Halloween
- Paranormal books (not necessarily horror) you have enjoyed
- Favorite type of monster in movies/books
- Books you feel go well with the fall season
- World wide virus
- Halloween book for those who don’t scary books
- Haunted houses
- Scary books you thought were unique
- Horror novellas
- Horror anthologies
- YA horror
- Middle grade horror
- Books that remind you of a certain movie
- Scary books with POC author
- Scary books with POC charactersÂ
- Scary books for young children
- Cozy mysteries
- Comfort clothes to read in during the fall
- Best bookish costumes
- Scary movies for children
- Things to help you get in the Halloween spiritÂ
- Favorite Halloween candies

Great post and good food for thought. While I am planning a few posts relating to Blogtober, I’m not officially participating. I’m a fan of thrillers but not as my primary genre. Thanks for sharing.
