Bookmark Lit Bulletin | August 2025

Posted September 1, 2025 / Bookmark Lit Bulletin, Features, Wrap-Ups / 0 Comments

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.

I thought July was bad but August felt even worse. Again, the usual excuse about moving – it’s been true for like three months at this point. I would go multiple days without even picking up a book. My goal for September is to actually read every single day, even if it’s just a little bit! I also want to read 6+ books.
