Book Haul | October 2017


You know how every single month we, book bloggers, wonder... how on earth did I end up with so many books? Well, I have the answer for my problem. I realised every time I feel down or stressed, I go online to check on books and I always add something to my cart and I always press buy. And here we are: 11 books (the fact that I read 12 books in October makes me feel slightly better).

Apart from The Book of Dust, which I was planning on buying as soon as it came out, and El conde de Montecristo (The Count of Monte Cristo) which I bought because I thought I'll like it since I absolutely adored The Three Musketeers last month, the remaining 9 titles were all recommendations that came my way thanks to bookstagram and booktube. 

I'm excited for all of them (isn't that what we always say about all of our books?) but Little Fires Everywhere and If We Were Villains are high on my priority list. The former is the newest book by Celeste Ng and after loving her previous novel Everything I Never Told You (which you should all go and read) I have to see if this new novel meets my expectations - they aren't low. The latter is a new release, a mystery thriller set on an University campus involving Shakespearean actors. COUNT ME THE HELL IN, THANK YOU. All books will be linked down below.

Is there any title you see you've read? Or any you might be interested in?
Which books did you acquire in October?


Here is a list of all the titles:

- The Book of Dust by Philip Pullman
- If We Were Villains by M.L.Rio
- Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
- Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor
- El conde de Montecristo by Alexandre Dumas
- The Poinsonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
- How Green Was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn
- The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters
- The Cranes Dance by Meg Howrey

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...
