The Best Book Review Blogs in 2026 • How to Get Your Book Reviewed

Book Binge

We review independent authors and presses, as well as traditionally published works. Please be advised, however, that we'll be honest, and just because you submitted it does not mean you'll get a glowing review. If your book sucks big donkey balls, we're going to tell the world. Just kidding. Well, not really. Also, please be aware that submitting a book does not guarantee a review.

Book Lover Worm

https://bookloverwormblog.wordpress.com/

I am a book lover and reviewer. I’ve always loved reading and remember the joys of reading the Famous Five, Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. I prefer crime fiction and psychological thrillers but also have a soft spot for chick-lit and women’s fiction and anything else that catches my interest.

Novel Novice

https://novelnovice.com/

The Novel Novice book review blog features primarily Young Adult literature, and select Middle Grade and children's picture books. We very rarely review adult titles that would appeal to YA readers, but not often. We do NOT normally feature or review New Adult literature. Any adult titles we review or feature should at least be appropriate for teen readers.

From First Page to Last

https://fromfirstpagetolast.wordpress.com/

I like to read different genres of books, both fiction and non fiction. If the blurb grabs me then I’ll want to read it. I cannot promise a review deadline but will honour all review requests I accept. Please let me know if you have a preferred timeframe for reviews to be published and I will aim to review within that time.

Likely Story

I started Likely Story to share my love of books with the world. I have been known to stay up until 3am, lost in a book and I decided I wanted to spread the word and share as many of them as I could with other readers. Happy reading!
