I've had SUCH fun producing reviews and posts to fill up this month. I'm so inspired by the wonderful selection of books by British authors that I've read this month and throughout the year, and having reading them, I continue to want more and more.
Today, I thought I would share with you some bookish links just in case you were also interesting in finding out more about these wonderful authors that I've been reading about lately. And I've also included some of my favourite fellow book bloggers who spend a considerable amount of time and energy reading and reviewing. I don't think book bloggers ever truly get the recognition they deserve for their incredible work.
Please do feel free to share in comments YOUR favourite bookish links that promote books by British authors, whether it be a favourite UK book blogger or British author blog.

UK Author blogs I love




Collab author blogs
Girls Heart Books - Here is a wonderful, wonderful collab blog. I absolutely ADORE it. There's 30 or so authors who write books for girls aged usually between 8-14 and have banded together to write blog posts about their books, writing, inspiration, names. It's a really lovely mix of topics and authors to discover here. One of my absolute favourite blogs to read on a daily basis.
The History Girls - For those of you interesting in history, fiction or writing, this is the place for you! I always find the most entertaining and interesting posts written about on The History Girls. They cover nearly every historical period of time and have such fun things to share.
The Edge - The lovely Edge authors have all made an appearance on my blog at one time or another, and for good reason. These authors are all writing my favourite type of YA books. Sure, I like light and fluffy and dystopian and paranormal and occasionally historical, but where my heart truly lies is with the stories with a layer of grit and ..edge about them. And this blog delivers in that area and allows me to better get to know this group of authors. Well worth a visit.
My favourite UK YA book blogs
Wondrous Reads - I don't think Jenny needs any introduction, do you?! I think most people would immediately think of Wondrous Reads when thinking of UK book bloggers!
Serendipity Reviews - Vivienne is one of my favourite bloggers, and I think what I love so much about her blog is how hard she works at bringing us more than just wonderful reviews but also fascinating interviews with authors about writing. It's always wonderful to read new posts.
The Book Memoirs - It is the same with these two lovely ladies, Elle and Kate. I love their rating system, their discussions on different topics and especially the very many different themed events going on! A fairly recent discovery of mine, The Book Memoirs is a firm favourite.
Chicklish - Chicklish will always be one of my favourite YA book blogs. It's probably the first review site in the UK and is always filled with fab books and giveaways and news. Plus, it's run by the wonderful Luisa Plaja, who is just an angel.
