Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon | TBR 2017 Round I


It's that time of the year again: The Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon where readers all around the world come together to read for 24 hours. It might sound a bit mad yes, but believe me, it is fun. We all share the stack of books we're planning on reading and then our progress as the hours go by and above all, we cheer on each other to read. Isn't that great? It is for me. I don't have anyone outside my bookish internet corner to get excited about books and reading so you can imagine how happy this event makes me. The readathon takes place this Saturday and for me it starts at 2pm, that might change depending on your time zone - you can check their web to find out your time to start.

Anyways, these are the 5 books I'm planning on reading. They're short since I find them to be easier to get through and I also feel like I'm making progress with my reading and that motivates me. We have a mix of everything really - from a poetry collection to non-fiction and middle-grade.

  • Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifest in Fifteen Suggestions by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Adichie's latest release. This is a feminist essay and I'm all for it.
  • What We Buried by Caitlyn Siehl. This is the poetry collection and it also sounds amazing. I've been quite lucky with the poetry I've been reading so fingers crossed this is as good as everybody says it is.
  • One Hundred Shadows by Hwang Jungeun. This book came with the March Moth Box and it is short and I thought it would be perfect for the readathon. I don't really know what it is about but I know it's a weird story.
  • Cogheart by Peter Bunzl. A steampunk middle-grade adventure. Yes, thank you. Also, I haven't read middle-grade in ages. Needed to change that.
  • Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne. A YA novel dealing with anxiety. And I want to know what all the fuzz is about.

If I manage to read all of these I'll be very pleased with myself truth be told but I'm a very slow reader and I get distracted quite easily. Still, I'm gonna try my best without rushing my reading.

Are you guys participating in the readathon? What is on your TBR pile?

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...
