Currently #3


I'm free. My finals are over. And I have all the time in the world to read. However, I'm spending most of that free time sleeping because, you know, why not? I'm hoping to be back blogging and bookstagramming full time from now on although my motivation to do so is not the greatest, especially when it comes to bookstagramming. I'm not happy with the updates Instagram has been doing for the past months and seeing my engagement decrese all the time is not helping at all. Why continue spending a lot of time taking pictures and editing them when they won't even show up on people's feed? If you have an answer, please, let me know.

Anyways, this post is about updating you guys on my reading at the moment. I finished The Good People by Hannah Kant yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I want to write a full review but I'm having troubles sitting down and writing a coherent one. Not just with this book but with most of the ones I've read since I last uploaded my last review. I  feel like I always talk about the same things and it becomes a bit tedious. Writing reviews have always being my least favourite thing to do, surprisingly.

Right now, I'm reading The Power by Naomi Alderman. In case you don't know this one won the Bailey's Prize 2017. I'm only 100 pages into it and the premise is a complete declaration of intentions. This is a sci-fi dystopian novel where young women discover they can inflict physical pain with their own hands. For once, women are physically stronger than men and in time, the world order changes. I can see why this novel won the Prize. As I said this is a declaration of intentions but I'm sure the writing style is not the greatest. Or maybe it doesn't work for me. But I'm still intrigued by the story and I wanna see how it ends.

How's June treating you? Any current reads worth mentioning?

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...
