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 wish I met the September goals I set for myself but I absolutely didn’t do that. Again, I should have no expectations when it comes to reading in my birthday month. I hope October is better but then again I’ll be traveling, spending weekends with friends and family, and just have lot of stuff going on during the weekends.
