For some reason, I don’t often run out of content ideas. I feel like I always have too many ideas in my head at once and want to post them ALL immediately. It’s an issue. I know, I know – it’s a good problem to have. I figured I would share some really general blog post ideas for book bloggers! Most of these I pulled out of my own head or looked through old posts I wrote. A select few are ideas from other blogs that I credited.
General Bookishness
- Recent book deal announcements you’re excited about
- Favorite book covers
- Book synopses that grabbed you right away
- Your read-bait words/premises
- Do an old TTT topic you never did (I do this sometimes and credit them!)
- Create or do an existing book tag
- Update an old post you wrote if your feelings have changed
- Favorite ships, OTPs, or families in books
- Books you were disappointed by OR exceeded your expectations
- Ask for book recommendations under certain categories you want to explore more
- Do a deep dive into a specific genre you like: faves, least faves, why read it, etc.
- Resources you use for finding new books or buying/reading books
- Do a March Madness bracket for your favorite books during a certain timeframe, within a genre, of all time, etc. (inspired by Andi’s post)
- Pick careers for book characters based on their stories
- Recommend books for readers based on their favorite TV shows or movies
- Books you wish they’d make into movies or TV shows
- Thoughts on DNFing books: do you do it often, never, etc.?
- Authors you’d love to see or meet or go on tour together
TBR-Related
- Recent books you added to your TBR list on Goodreads
- Books you own that you need to finally read
- Unreleased books you can’t wait for
- Recently released books you hope to read soon
- Books on your wishlist (Secret Sister or otherwise!)
- Recent books you took out from the library
- General TBR thoughts: hate em, love em, fail at them?
- How you organize your Goodreads (special shelves or no?)
Wrap-Ups & Updates
- Looking ahead to the coming month (book releases, TBR, personal, etc.)
- Monthly wrap-up if you don’t usually do them
- Update an old post you wrote if your feelings or habits changed since writing it
- How your reading habits may or may not have changed since you started blogging
- “Currently” post to share what you’re up to in your real life
Bloggy Things
- Blog tips you’ve learned so far; advice you’d give the new blogger version of yourself
- List of your favorite blog posts, TTT posts, or reviews you’ve written (like Jamie did!)
- Blog organization and scheduling
- Why you chose your blog design/colors
Personal-Bookish Mix
- Recent TV shows you’ve been binge-watching (or do the Netflix and Books Tag I created with Erica!)
- Share how and when you started reading (in general or with a specific genre)
- Book characters with similar personalities to you
- Book characters you wish you were like or you could learn from
- Mash up your favorite TV show or movie with a book somehow
- Show where you like to read and/or your ideal reading spot
- Do other people in your life read? If so, what books do they recommend?
- Share your dream library if you could have anything in it
- Books you’d select for a book club and what you’d discuss about them
Reviews
(See my post about how to stop hating review-writing/other review ideas here!)
- GIF-filled review (very little words involved)
- Reasons to read this book / avoid reading this book
- Reviews in tweet form
I have another idea for you. It’s probably been done but a friend of mine is highly interested in the topic for certain reasons: Baby Names you Might Possibly Use to Name Your Child Based on Popular Book Character Names. 🙂 Love your list!

Fun! That’s been a TTT in the past, so I think lots of people may choose that one for a post going forward too!
Thanks for sharing these, Lauren! They are all great ideas and I might need to do a few of those because I’m really bored of writing reviews. I especially like the Book Characters You Wish You Could Be Like idea!
Thank you! 🙂
I love these ideas! I may have to take a few and do them myself 😉 Thanks for sharing this list, and I’m definitely bookmarking it.
Hope it helps! <3
Wow, these are great! I always have so many ideas for posts but I feel like I want to do them all at once like you, then I don’t do them because I forgot about them. I even started a ‘blog post ideas’ page in my bullet journal and I’m gonna add so many from your post to it!

Haha yess same. I have so many drafts where I just write the title of the post and then completely forget what the content was supposed to be too! ugh
Definitely saving this! I sometimes just can’t come up with stuff and I hate feeling stuck. Thanks for sharing!
No problem!
Awesome post! I tend to have a lot of ideas too, but the well does run dry for me from time to time 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Great post!! Thanks for sharing all the ideas for those of us who have none! 😀
Haha no problem!
This is so helpful! So many great post ideas I’ve never thought of. Thanks for sharing, Lauren! 🙂
Yay, no prob!
Great post, Lauren! I started a list of ideas for posts a while ago. These ideas tend to pop randomly, and usually I don’t have time to sit and write a post. And later I just can’t remember them.
Thank you!

This is a great list Lauren! It’s really awesome that you can come up with all of these, because I am not very good with coming up with ideas. And honestly I won’t write them up unless I”m super passionate or have many things to say!
Thank you! haha. I hope it helps some people!
Thanks for sharing! I needed a little inspiration as of late. 😀
Yay! Hope it helps 🙂
This is an awesome post! I usually have quite a few ideas but I always like to have some others written down somewhere if I ever need some inspiration. Thanks! I’ll have to give a couple a go one day.
