Bookmark Lit Bulletin | June 2024

Posted July 3, 2024 / Bookmark Lit Bulletin, Features, Wrap-Ups / 1 Comment

BL headerThe 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.


June had some help because I finished a May holdover on the first day of the month, and then kept momentum going from there! Our vacation helped; I think I finished two books that weekend alone.
