April Wrap-Up!


April is officially over and with it’s time for another monthly wrap-up! April has been quite a good reading month: 7 books, one play and one novella. Happy me!

1. Legend by Marie Lu
2. Duchess of Malfi by John Webster (included in the Norton Anthology of English Literature)
3. Daimon by Jennifer. L. Armentrout
4. Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier
5. Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Gier
6. The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
7. Emerald Green by Kerstin Gier
8. Prodigy by Marie Lu
9. The Gift of Charms by Julia Suzuki (Kindle version)

I started Legend on March but I finished the 1st of April and I was very happy with the start of this trilogy, very promising. Apart from a few problems it was great so I gave it 4 stars.


Then I had to read the Duchess of Malfi for, again, my Renaissance English Literature Class and I DID NOT enjoy this play at all. It was not my cup of tea and I normally really like tragedies. Anyway I ended up giving it 2 stars just because everybody dies at the end (don’t judge me please!).

After that I needed some light reading and since the Covenant series by Jennifer. L. Armentrout has been on my shelf for quite some time I decided to read the novella Daimon, which is a previous story to Half Blood, and see what I could expect. I liked it and I will definitely pick up the whole series soon enough.  I gave it 4 stars.

Soon after I still wasn’t in the mood for a heavy read so I picked up Ruby Red and I absolutely adored this book, it was super funny and I flew through it. 4 stars I gave it, as you might guess. Immediately after I started Sapphire Blue, the second book of the trilogy, and I really enjoyed it, so 4 stars to Sapphire Blue as well

While reading Sapphire Blue I also started The Coldest Girl in Coldtown. This novel was outstanding and a very well deserved five-star book. If you like your vampires but want a refreshing touch add to them read this book because you won’t regret it.

Later on I decided to finish the Ruby Red trilogy so Emerald Green was next and to be honest I was a bit of a letdown really. Anyways, if you want to know my thoughts about the whole trilogy go here à http://adayinbookland.blogspot.com.es/2014/04/the-ruby-red-trilogy-by-kerstin-gier.html

So, after that I wanted to continue with the Legend trilogy and I picked up Prodigy and I loved every bit of it. And I’m quite eager to read Champion now and see how this story ends. I rated it 5 stars, duh!

Lastly, I read The Gift of Charms, a middle-grade fantasy book, and my goodness was this super awesome! The author sent me a review cope and I loved it completely. Amazingly good! 5 stars, no doubt there.


So, that’s my wrap-up! Let me know how you’ve done this month and go find me on Goodreads!

Vintage Classics: Brontë Series

Maybe you don’t know this about me but I collect different edition of Jane Eyre and when I learnt that Vintage was releasing the new Brontë series I just couldn’t say no.

April 2017

And another month goes by. To be fair, this time it didn't fly around for me; it was quite a slow month in general and I spent half of it reading - I can't even believe I have managed to read all of these books -  and half of it studying for University. I'm all caught up with all my courses and I'm ready to start revising for finals which will be at the end of May/beginning of June. I'm still in awe that for once in my life, I've being productive as hell if I say so myself. Hurray! Basically I wrote down all I had to do and I organised it throughout the first three weeks of April. At the same time I told myself I had to read for fun at least 30 minutes every single day in order to avoid being slumpy due to stress. It worked.

Welcome to A Day In Bookland!

Hello fellow Bookworms! My name is Noelia. I’m 23 years old and I live in Spain. I’m a Psychology Grad but at the moment I’m studying an English Culture & Literature major. I consider myself quite the Anglophile (a what? You may be wondering… well, an anglophile is basically a fan of English culture. Yep! That’s me). Anyways, I should have studied this one since the beginning instead of Psychology but what would be life without some wrong decisions? Well, the important thing is that I’m studying it now and I’m super happy because I just love it. I would love someday to work in the publishing world to be surrounded by books 24/7. It would be the perfect job for me. My dangerous addiction to reading made me go to YouTube to look up for bookish stuff which is making that addiction even worse now that I think about it (Oops!). Reading has been always a part of my life, since I was a little girl and it has got bigger and bigger the older I get. It is true that YouTube...
