July Wrap-Up!

Seriously, I can't believe July is over... Seven months of 2014 are gone now. Where is the time going? Basically this month I’ve read 6 books and 1 novella and even though there are less books than previous months I still have to say I’m happy about my reading month.





Here is the list:


1. The Ring & The Crown by Melissa de la Cruz
2. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
3. Wonder by R. J. Palacio
4. Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
5. Fracture Me by Tahereh Mafi
6. The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
7. The Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings



I started The Ring & The Crown in June but didn’t finish it until July mainly because it was quite a disappointment for me. I thought it was gonna be a fantasy read but no, it was like a contemporary read based on a parallel 21st century world with the mindset of the 14th century. I gave it 2 stars.

Then I picked up Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell because I’ve been dying to read this one for a long time and oh my god, this book! It was perfect, just perfect and I was sad when it ended because I needed more, much more. After this one I was still in a contemporary mood so I started Wonder by R. J. Palacio which was pure awesomeness. I did a review of it so if you want to check it out here it is: http://t.co/w3NnYChV0NI gave Fangirl 4 stars and Wonder, 5.

After these two I was kind of in a slump and instead of forcing myself to read I decided to embrace it and slow my reading. So I picked up Unravel Me, which is the second book in the Shatter Me trilogy by Tahereh Mafi, and then I read the novella Fracture Me which focuses on Adam. Fracture Me was okay, nothing really special (I gave it 3 stars) but Unravel Me was a huge improvement from Shatter Me so I ended up giving it 4.5 stars.

The last two books I read in July have been The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken and The Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings. Both of them were okay. I enjoyed The Murder Complex a bit more than The Darkest Minds so the former got 4 stars and the latter 3. I did a review of The Complex Murder which you can read here: http://t.co/QZCimlUsPk

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...
