Bookmark Lit Bulletin | May 2018

The Bookmark Lit Bulletin wraps up the last month in reading and what was on the blog, as well as what’s coming up next. You can check out my book haul, books read, posts shared, challenge updates, etc. You can read past bulletins here. If you’re looking for more personal updates, you can check out my Lauren Lately feature; it highlights my life events and non-bookish fun from the previous 30 days.

I was definitely more in the mood to read this month, for once! I managed to get back over my reading hump and finish over 10 books. This keeps me ahead on my Goodreads challenge as well. You’ll see from the breakdown below that I was SUPER addicted to my Kindle. I almost never came up for air with that thing. I genuinely struggled to read physical copies after a while 🙁

May’s goal: Read 5+ owned physical books – FAIL
June’s goal: None

Skipping a bookish goal for the month because I think I’ll be happy just having some time to read in general. Between weddings, soaking in Maine, going to California for another wedding, attempting to blog, and moving at the end of the month… I’m not sure when I will read. On the plane rides?!

Things will be light during June / early July due to moving and traveling.

Blog tours | I’m in 2-3 blog tours this month, so that’s nice! It’s a good way to get creative with my posts and read a few books at the same time.

Goals for When I Move | I’m making some resolutions about “things I’ll be better about once I move.” Some things just aren’t going to happen when my life is in-between like this. I’m excited to really settle into a normal routing with ALL of our stuff and just be better about reaching goals.

Authors I Keep Adding to my TBR and Haven’t Read Yet (Part Two) | This is pretty easy to understand by the title, so just check out the first part if you’re curious!

New Cover Love | Sharing some new book covers I’m loving lately!

Check out my June TBR post! ?
