BL header 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.

Weird month in June yet again. I read a 600 page book in two days but managed to spend more than half the month reading one of my most anticipated reads. I kept having to put books on hold to finish other books and it was kind of a mess. I was hoping to slide one more book in before the end of the month but we moved so that took up an obscene amount of time for the final 5ish days. It was a pain in the butt but we’re now in our one-month rental and ready to close on our house soon! Here’s hoping, with a vacation happening as we speak and a much more chill month ahead, I’ll read more!
