Bookmark Lit Bulletin | March 2021

 

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 hoping to get back on track or ahead in March but I just could not be bothered to read most of the time. A lot of these books I was like “shit I should finish this ASAP” and I just sat there and did it in one or two sittings. I have two April cookbooks coming so I know I’ll get back on track next month.

I made an extensive TBR for March and an even more intense one for April based on not finishing some books I should have. However, I absolutely stuck to my review copy TBR during March! I focused on the three books publishing within the month and read one book to get ahead, leaving only two behind for April. Not bad!

I have two cookbooks coming, which will automatically put me back on Target if I read them ASAP and keep up with my other reading habits. I hope to get ahead or caught up on my challenge next month by focusing on review copies I need to read and getting those cookbooks read quickly too. I’m currently, at the time of writing this, only two books behind.

 

Miller’s First Birthday // I’m not sure how I’ll celebrate on the blog, but my puppy is officially an “adult” kind of as of this weekend. I’ll do some kind of post about his birthday and reflect on his life a little bit. The one year anniversary of when we adopted him is in late June, but his first birthday overall is a big milestone. Maybe I’ll do an Instagram roundup of Miller posts.

Book Reviews // I can’t be bothered to post much more than TBRs, wrap-ups, TTTs, and book reviews at this point. I still want to include more personal posts but I haven’t had it in me lately. Work is crazy, we’re still in a pandemic, and I just have no motivation.

Warm Weather Plans/Goals // I always used to make goals or bucket lists on a seasonal basis but kind of fell off of it, even before the pandemic. We’re getting vaccinated toward the end of the month so I know the improving weather heading toward summer will mean some more activities. I thought it’d be fun to bring back this kind of post.
