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.

Finally! A good reading month! It’s amazing what a deadline can do to a girl. I was determined to read enough books to catch up and I am now only one book behind instead of 3-4! On top of that, I should be able to finish another one or two really quickly this week and continue along with 8 books in December to hit 75.
