Hi guys! Today I wanted to take a little break from reviews and instead let you know about some other book review blogs I think you’ll enjoy. There is a nice community of kids book reviewers and many of them are quite good!
Ms. Yingling Reads
This blog is written by a middle school librarian. She reads a lot of books and knows well what kids are reading and what they like. Her reviews are well-written and give an accurate description. Overall, this blog is very well done.
This Kid Reviews Books
How could I do a book review list without mentioning twelve year-old Erik’s website?! Erik was kind enough to do an interview of me on his blog a couple of years ago, and constantly writes great reviews. He’s been doing his blog for around three years and has a number of dedicated followers. He has even written his own book! If you’re not reading this site, you should be.
My Book Worm Blog
This is an awesome website run by eleven year-old Xander. He gives both written and video reviews. He is a pretty consistent poster and gives you an inside perspective of what kids think about books. I am very impressed with this site.
Boys Rule Boys Read!
This blog is run by a librarian and he seems to know what books kids are liking and reading. He has kept up to date with his site since 2007, and has tons of excellent reviews. This is a fantastic blog.
The Write Stuff
This is a great website. The author is a former high school English teacher and is currently a writer and book reviewer. She reviews a lot of good books on her website. She knows not only what books kids like, but what type of kid will like a certain book.
Always in the Middle
This blog is written by a guy who loves everything about middle grade books. He posts good and insightful reviews on his blog on a regular basis.
So I’m Fifty
This is written by a middle grade author. She gives very in depth reviews that I think provide real value in deciding whether to get a book or not.
5 Minutes for Books
This website is actually maintained by a team of seven people who all love reading, which means they post a new review pretty much everyday. Most of the reviews are fairly short, but they let you know about books that you wouldn’t have otherwise heard of.
Jennifer Rumberger – Children’s Author
This blog is also written by a kids author. Her reviews are genuine and I enjoy reading them.
Note: This site sadly isn’t online anymore.
My Brain on Books
This website is written by yet another children’s author. Joanne gives good reviews on a wide variety of books. She has a lot of experience and knows what books have and will prove to be tried and true.
Thanks for reading this quick post. I just thought I’d like to turn you guys on to some other book review sites that are out there. There are only so many books I can review, and only so much knowledge I have. I read all of the above sites and encourage you to as well.
And if you’re not yet, subscribe to my site, too. Please? 🙂
