'Project 10 Book' Recap!


A month ago I decided to join ‘Project 10 Book’, created by Lauren over at A Blonde Librarian. It was all about trying to reduce our TBR piles by reading 10 books before buying more. I thought it would be a realistic goal and it was. Here are the books I’ve read:




I’m not gonna tell you a lot about the books. You can read my thoughts about the first four(starting with The Blood of Olympus) in my October Wrap-Up, and about the other 6 you’ll have to wait until my November Wrap-Up #sorrynotsorry LOL

Being honest here, I should tell you that it hasn’t been a difficult challenge for me to complete and for the entire month I have been able to control myself and didn’t buy any book, which is incredibly amazing for me. Ask anyone who knows me, this is progress!


I’ve added certain books to my wishlish. That was impossible not to do, really. But I’ve also kind of learned to choose those books I’m really interesting in reading instead of going on a buying spree like nobody’s business. 

So, summing up, I do think Lauren’s idea was genius and it is an easy challenge. Of course you can choose the number of books you want to read before buying more but I think this idea is better than just going on a buying ban for X months. Why? Because we like and enjoy reading so we don’t really pay much attention about how many days have passed since we started the challenge, you know? If I will go on a buying ban for, say, 3 months I would be crossing the days in my calendar like a rabid dog. It would be everything I could think about. Deciding to buy books depending on how much I read is, at least for me, easier and definitely more enjoyable.

So yeah, massive thanks to Lauren! And also, I'm gonna keep doing this. I'll read 10 books and then, I'll buy some. But those I buy will never exceed the ones I've read. Let's hope I can shrink my TBR pile once and for all, even if it's little by little!


Do you have a book buying problem? Would you think this challenge would suit you? I wanna know! Or are you already doing this challenge? How is it going?

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...
