by Lindy Gamolo Hello, everyone! After an eon, Bookmarked is back and we’re even more excited to share anything and everything about collecting bookmarks!

Bookmarked: Film-Featuring Bookmark Series by Libreria Follas Novas
by Lindy Gamolo I know it’s similar to Fiction Nation’s theme (with all due respect to our wonderful SIC, Allana), but I have several reasons in writing about bookmarks featuring film adaptations for September. First: Because September is the month when Cinema Europa opens! This year, it will screen on September 29 to November 10 yet another brilliant lineup…
