We all struggle with motivation and inspiration sometimes and no matter how hard we try, get a creative block and can’t come up with ideas for a blog post for the life of us. I’ve been there, we’ve all been there. So I don’t think there’s any shame in asking, looking or offering help for people stuck in those inspiration-ruts. So today I want to share with you some blog post ideas for book bloggers!
I haven’t been a book blogger for some time now but I remember when I was, I definitely went through phases of being really stuck with what to write. When you niche down so much and stick to one topic, it can get that way sometimes. But it’s nothing that a little helping hand can’t fix!

#2 Discussion posts
I remember the first ever discussion post I wrote was about whether libraries were a thing of the past and it was GREAT to hear my readers opinions on the topic.
