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 writing a review for Anna Dressed in Blood. I’m sure if you’re here then you’ve heard of this book before! Let me know in the comments where you heard the book from!
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.
Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! I’m so happy to see you here. Today I’m writing a review about Legend by Marie Lu. I just found out about this book recently through TikTok (if you’d like to follow me there you can find me here) and I just had to get my hands on it. I’m surprised I have never heard of this book before getting on TikTok since I really enjoy dystopian novels!
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.

What I thought about Lies Like Wildfire
I want to thank Dave from The Write Reads and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review Lies Like Wildfire. I’m not even sure what I expected from the story but I saw the cover and saw that it was a YA thriller and I just had to get my hands on the book. I couldn’t help but be excited to read this one.
The Characters
Lies like Wildfire follows Hannah Warner who is ultimately a good kid. Despite all that has happened to her she still pushes herself to do better and to be better. She wants more for her life and not be like her mother who was a huge screw-up. Why would she want the same life for herself?
Jennifer does an amazing job with Hannah Warner. She’s a very three-dimensional character that I ended up really liking. On top of that I can see why she would be scared to tell anyone about the that she accidentally helped started. Hannah didn’t want to be anything like her mother and she didn’t want to let her father down. Her response to the whole situation seems completely logical. My only thing is that she’s not really a good friend. For someone who really wants to keep her friends together she’e perfectly willing to throw them under the bus.
The Plot
I’m not really sure what I was expecting when it comes to the plot of Lies Like Wildfire. When I ended up getting the earc for the book I had actually forgotten what the story was about so I was in for a nice surprise when I started reading it.
For me the start of the book and towards the end of book were really good. In the middle I wasn’t exactly sure where the story was going to go or if they were going to get charged for the fire. The story actually surpassed my expectations because like I said I had forgotten what the book was even about.
Yes, I know I need to stop stop participating in blog tours and then forgetting completely what the book was even about! I do it all of the time and I hope I’m not alone!
I do have to say that the ending completely surprised me and I loved it! I will be reading a lot more of Jennifer’s books!
