Top Ten Tuesday # 18 (Top Ten 2014 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn't Get To)

TOP TEN TUESDAY is a weekly book meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.

This week is all about those books that were published this past 2014 that I wanted to read but unfortunately I didn't get to. I'm just gonna basically list the books and that's it because the only reason why I didn't get to read them was lack of time, as always.

Before getting into the nitty-gritty I wanna tell you first that for the rest of the month I won't be as active here as past weeks and when I mean active I mean visiting other people's blogs and commenting on their posts. In two weeks time I'll have my exams and I'm starting to feel a bit panicky because there is not enough time. Seriously. I'm gonna have a heart attack. I have all my TTT posts pre-written until February 10th so you can bet I'm stressed. I never pre-write anything! That said, I'll try to visit as many posts as I can when I have some spare time. So, bear with me please! That said, here is the list!


         

- The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith.
- All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. 
- Half a King by Joe Abercrombie. 
- The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson 


          

- The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
- Red Rising by Pierce Brown
- Prisoner of Night and Fog by Anne Blankman



          

- Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
- Everything I Never Told Yoy by Celeste Ng
- Kingdom of Scars by Eoin C. Macken. Little explanation here even though I said I wasn't gonna; maybe if you're a Merlin fan you have probably recognised Eoin's name. He played Sir Gwaine and he's now leading the show Night Shift. When I heard he was releasing a novel I was very intrigued about it. Macken has a honors degree in Psychology and this novel is a coming-of-age tale so the psychological aspects are a reality here and I wanted to see how he dealt with all of it. Not only that, but the novel has been quite praised, especially the writing style, and it has been nominated as best newcomer at the Irish Book Awards. 


Have you read any of this books? Would you want to?

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...
