Can you guys believe that Christmas is almost here? As Christmas is vastly approaching I know a lot of readers want books with a Christmas theme. Every year it always crosses my mind what books with a Christmas theme are out there. A lot of the same Christmas books are pushed every year in my opinion. So we need a little bit of variety. I also want to make sure to include that the books that I recommend aren’t your typical Hallmark type of book. Why? They are typically what everyone goes for. That’s okay but I know there are some readers out there like me who aren’t really a fan of the cheesy Christmas books!

Best books of 2021 that should be on your bookshelf
Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! Today I’m wanting to talk about the best books of 2021. All of these books I have read and LOVED so I have to share them with you. Most of these books are going to be horror and thriller because that’s mostly what I read. If that’s what you enjoy as well then great! If not then let me know in the comments what some of your favorites are!
I feel like this year I have a lot more to add to my favorite list. I’m not really sure if that’s because this year I was a little lenient or if I was better at picking books I knew I would enjoy. Or maybe it’s a little bit of both because COVID has made me realize I shouldn’t be so harsh and be a little particular about what I pick up. What have been some of the best books of 2021 to you?

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.
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.

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!

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.
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.

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?

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! I’ve been wanting to talk about whether or not people read book reviews anymore for a while now. Don’t get me wrong because I know some readers do still read them. But what about reviews on blogs or YouTube channels? I have been book blogging for 3 years now and for a long time, I didn’t really do discussion posts. So, basically, all I did was book reviews.

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! Today I’m talking about what November 2021 book releases you should add to your TBR! Some of these I should be starting soon so make sure to sign up for my newsletter so you can get an update on how these books are!
Do you guys like looking up what books come out each month? I hate to say it but most of the time doing these sorts of posts really makes me want to buy more books, but I also really like to stay updated on what books are coming out. Hopefully, once I’m able to get my TBR down some I can start going through some of these books and get them to read as well. I swear the amount of new releases can be a bit overwhelming but that’s why we need to start DNFing (did not finish) books we really don’t like.
Middle-Grade Horror Books that will chill you to the bone
Hey everyone, and welcome to Owl Book World! Today, I’m writing a list of Middle-Grade Horror Books for kids who are just starting with horror. This list is also super helpful for those who already like horror and just want more books to read. On top of that, if you’re older (than a middle-schooler) and want to ease into horror, these may be the perfect books to start with. Yes, they are scary books for tweens, but starting with books for a younger audience can be very helpful because they aren’t as bad as books for older audiences.

Can you guys believe that 2022 will be here in just a few months!? So, since we only have a couple more months to go I want to be able to share my reading challenge with you in hopes some of you will join me. Since I started blogging I have always wanted to create a challenge that other readers would want to join in!
