Bookmark Lit Bulletin | November 2019

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.

Woof, the end of the month totally snuck up on me! I know it had to do with Thanksgiving being so late, but for some reason I was convinced that Monday was the first instead of Sunday. I therefore ended up finishing less books in November than expected. I had hoped to squeeze in two more but my reading was weird throughout the month. Oh well! On to a lot of Christmas books in December!

November: Finish challenges (90%-ish) ✔
December: Enjoy Christmas books

I was hoping to finish up my challenges in November so I could just read Christmas books in December, but I found myself uninterested in bothering with my challenges. I was forcing it so I could complete them but I just don’t care much? I decided to quit the challenges unless I’m in the mood. So, my goal for December is still to just enjoy Christmas books (and a few others that aren’t holiday-related).

Holiday Posts and Reviews | As usual, there will be a bunch of holiday book reviews and Christmassy posts on the blog, like movie round-ups and decor posts.

End of Year Posts | I do a few annual surveys and wrap-up posts at the end of December, so you can expect a lot of those when the time comes – End of Year Survey, Statistics Survey, Bookmark Lit Bulletin, etc.

2020 Resolutions and Challenges | I always post my challenges for the upcoming year, as well as the personal, bookish, and blog-related goals I want to achieve or keep in mind. This will come somewhere near mid-December so other people can use the challenges for inspiration as  well!
