Summer Reading List for Bloggers

Hello, August! Can you believe that fall begins next month and all the kiddos are heading back to school? Here at BlogPaws, we have been busy working behind the scenes this summer as we prepare for the launch of our new Social Learning Center.

We’re going “Back to School” this September with the launch of our SLC! The SLC will bring you more ways to network with our community and provide opportunities to learn how to take your blog to the next level.

In the meantime, we want to give you some last-minute things to do this summer. Remember back in the day when you got a summer reading list from your school? Well, we’re doing the same thing for bloggers! We’ve put together a summer reading list for bloggers with our top 10 book recommendations. These books for bloggers will help you get through the final days of summer before we all go”back to school!”
