Some news: The Book Blog Directory is open for submissions! It’s a searchable, sortable and editable directory for book blogs (plus more features, see below) that auto-removes dead links.
This took a little bit of time to get together, but I put this together because I thought it might be useful. There’s a lot of great directories out there and the people running them really deserve some thanks, but it seems like having some filters and more features is something that might be helpful for authors looking to plan their own book tours or bloggers looking for people to connect with.
Current Features
- Editable. Go back and edit/update your information if anything changes!
- Sortable. Sort by any column of data.
- Searchable. Instant search results.
- Social Media Connections. List all your social media platforms.
Other stuff: You can also identify if you are a diverse blogger, whether you review indie books, if you participate in blog tours, what geographic area you’re from, and more. This can help people and publishers find your blog, or you can use it to find similar blogs as well.
Features Planned
- Export. I’m looking into an export to Excel (or other spreadsheet) function.
- Password Reset. Right now, there’s no way to reset your password if you forget it. I’m planning on adding this eventually, but for now please try not to lose your password so you can go back and edit your listing!
List Your Site and Share Your Thoughts!
I’m hoping people will make use of it, and I’m definitely open to any feedback about the directory. Tell me what feature you’d like to see in the comments. I’d love to make it something that really helps the book blogging community, so please share with anyone else who may want to be listed. Thanks for reading, and please be sure to list your book blog!
This is amazing! And the filters are a great idea.
thank you! and thanks for the encouragement!

Hi, I tried to submit my blog and it said my URL was already taken. Apparently I have already submitted it some time in the past. My problem now is that I can’t view my listing because I cannot remember my password for your site. Is there a way I can reset my password?
The password reset isn’t ready yet, but I don’t see your site in the database, either. Are you sure you previously submitted it? This has only been live for a day.
Thanks for this! This is really great <3
Thanks for the encouragement! :)
Oh wow, this is super impressive! Excited to look through it properly!
thank you so much for the encouragement! hope you’re able to find it helpful! and please do let me know if there’s a feature that’s not there that you think should be there. :)
Thank you for putting together such an amazing resource! Cannot wait to read other book blogs!
Thanks for checking it out and for the encouragement! :)

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing with us, especially me, I’m new to blogging and to be honest, I don’t even know where to start but I’ll get the hang of it soon!
Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been trying to find something like this but it was proving to be really difficult!
Thanks for this post! I’m heading over there now 📝📖
Very cool! I just submitted my blog. Thank you :)
I review indie books, among other things. Only if I like them, though. Great idea of yours🙂
Thanks for the amazing list! How do I update my listing?
