November Books | 2019


And just like that November is over. I truly cannot believe it as if feels like it started yesterday. And the decade is coming to an end. Anyways, we are here for the books so all in all this month I've been a bit slumpy and unmotivated to read - the winter blues have been too real for me this time.

- Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo. I have a full review of this one but I enjoyed it a lot. Cannot wait for the sequel.

- She Said by Jodi Kantor & Megan Twohey. I admire the work and effort they put into breaking this story but I didn't get along with the writing style.

- Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend. This was a reread for me because I wanted to read the second book in the series and I wanted to go into it with a fresh memory of what happened in the first book. It was as wonderful as the first time I read it. 

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K.Rowling. What can I say? I love this series but rereading it this time to compare it with the movies have made me realise just how little justice the movies did to the books.

- A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E.Schwab. Loved the world building and writing style. The ending though was a bit too rushed and everything was resolved too easily. But it is a promising first book in a series and I cannot wait to start the sequel.

- Wundersmith by Jessica Townsend. What an utter delight! The world Townsend has created is fascinating and everything is so weird and there is always something new around the corner and I just love it. It is middle-grade but so many things there for adults to explore. I hate that I have to wait until February next year to read the third book.

What about you? How was November? Any favourites?

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...
