July 2016


July is always a special month for me. It’s true I’m not much fond of summer but July is my birthday month so I can’t help but love him. This July I turned 25 and since then I’m trying not to panic a little bit – I think it is inevitable though. I enjoyed time with friends and family and I stayed most weekends in my grandma’s village. It’s a very peaceful place and I got a lot of reading done because sadly I couldn’t enjoy much time outdoors since hay fever there was (and still is) horrible and everything was covered in pollen, like a blanket of snow. Oh and I also went to the movies and watched Me Before You and Finding Dory. The former was nice and I enjoyed it as I enjoyed the book, but I’m well aware of its problems; Finding Dory was perfect.

I read 7 books in July and all of them were great; more than great actually since the lowest rating I gave was 3 and I had two 5 star-rating books hand to hand. Of the seven books the one I enjoyed less (and I still thought it was a nice read) was A Song for Summer. It was a fast read but full of flat characters. The two best novels I read in July were Fairytales for Wilde Girls, which I’ve been raving about non-stop since I finished it; and The Hero of Ages, the last instalment in the Mistborn trilogy.

Remember at the end of June when I said I was on a book buying ban? Well, that went out of the window. I got a few books for my birthday but I also bought some before that. I hate my lack of will power. I've shared all my new books in my Instagram so I don't see the point in a bookhaul post, but if by any chance you would like to see that, tell me below and I'll get on with it.

I have no much planned for August. I’m going to my grandma’s village as well this month and in terms of my reading I want to finish my Harry Potter re-read as well as get my hands on The Cursed Child which is coming in the mail in the next 10 days or so. I hope I don’t get spoiled. Besides that, Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi is also on my TBR for August.

How was your July? What are your plans for August? Any exciting reads planned?

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...
