December 2021 book releases to add to your TBR

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World. Today I’m bringing you another post of new book releases. This post is all about December 2021 book releases. I not only find this helpful for readers but for me as well. Before doing these types of posts I realized that I missed out on a lot of books that would’ve caught my interest sooner. Not that I really need to buy any more books, but I do like knowing what’s out there and maybe I can eventually get to them.

December 2021 book releases

Do you like looking up books that are coming out soon? I find that if I don’t I miss out on a lot of books that I would have really liked. I get that I can’t read everything but I do like to stay on top of it. Who knows if I wasn’t looking them up then I could potentially be missing out on a lot of books I would have really liked. Or I don’t find out about the book until months or potentially years later.

Gift Ideas for Book Lovers

Hey everyone, and welcome to Owl Book World! Today I’m talking about gift ideas for book lovers. I know there are some people out there who don’t like to give books as gifts. That’s mostly because they don’t know what books the person already has. I totally get that. It’s hard to buy for readers who have most of the books that they want. Or it could be that you don’t really know what genres they like.

Unless you know what book your book lover absolutely wants, then I would definitely recommend going a different route. These gifts are great Christmas gift ideas for book lovers, or you can use any of these suggestions for birthday gifts or anniversary gifts.

Before growing up and being able to buy my own things, I would have loved some of these ideas. Granted, some of these things weren’t very popular fifteen years ago when I couldn’t get a job and pay for it. I do wish they were, though!

Christmas Horror Books

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! With Christmas rolling around the corner I wanted to be able to talk about Christmas Horror Books.

I know Christmas is supposed to be happy and have Christmas spirit. On top of that, it’s usually the time for good-natured books that revolve around Christmas. Those types of books are not for me.

Christmas Horror Books

Don’t get me wrong though I do love happy books ones that revolved around Christmas are a bit cheesy to me. Granted I feel like part of that reasoning is working in retail because I always enjoyed Christmas before then. No, I rely on scary Christmas books to kind of get my little taste of Christmas.

How to start a book blog

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! Today I wanted to talk about how to start a book blog. I’m hoping to use this post to talk about some of the things you should consider when you’re wanting to start. Why? Because I feel like a lot of these posts don’t give helpful information. Granted they do talk about some of the things I’m going to talk about but they’re vague and a lot of bloggers repeat what others have already said. There are several that tell you to jump right in and learn as you go.

To be honest that’s terrible advice. You will learn some things but there are so many things you should learn before you even create your blog. Why? Because it will save you so much time no matter if this is serious or a hobby. Granted you can learn some of these things after you have created your blog but it makes things easier and makes the whole process easier.

The first thing you really need to consider on how to start a book blog is whether or not book blogging is serious or a hobby?
