Bookmark Lit Bulletin | June 2026

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.

My goal was to get back on track in June (ideally… by end of summer at the latest lol) and I did it! I read a novella collection to do it, but I still did it. I love reading in the summertime and doing summer reading challenges so I hope July and August are full of books I want and need to read to continue achieving some goals. I did want to read 12 books in June but we are more than fine finishing with 11!
