Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon


It's that time of the year again! The clock struck 2pm and the Dewey's 24 hour readathon has oficially began! I will be posting my progress here, on Twitter and on Instagram stories. Here we go!

3pm - I haven't done much reading actually... but i'm finally sitting down to make so progress on Beloved by Toni Morrison. It's a slow read but one I'm enjoying.

4: 49pm - read 53 pages of Beloved and reached part II of the book. I'm taking a break and then I'm gonna start 84 Charing Cross Road.

6: 04pm - decided to do a 40 min sprint and ended up reading 51 pages of 84, Charing Cross Road. It's such a lovely episotolary book.

8: 49pm - took a break to have some dinner and paint my toenails and watch some booktube. Then, will got back to my books. I have 70 pages left of Beloved and haven't read anymore of 84, Charing Cross Road but I'm planning on reading that one during the night.

10: 40pm - I finished 84, Charing Cross Road. It was delightful. My edition includes its sequel, The Duchess of Bloomsbury, but I won't be reading it for the readathon. I'm gonna be taking a break before getting back to Beloved.

1: 22am - Haven't read a single page because I decided to finish Unorthodox (so good!); will continue now until i fall asleep (which i'm pretty sure it's gonna be soon).

8: 51am - And I did fall sleep.... but I managed to read a few more pages of Beloved before closing my eyes. Now I'm wide awake and ready to finish the novel.

10: 17am - Finished Beloved. Will now have some breakfast (coffee + brownie) before starting my reread of Pride and Prejudice.

12: 36pm - Read 50 pages of Pride and Prejudice. Season 4 of The Last Kingdom has just dropped and I'm watching the first episode because I cannot wait. Will read afterwards until the readathon comes to an end.

2: 00pm - And the Dewey's readathon is over! Managed to finish two books: 84, Charing Cross Road and Beloved, and started Pride and Prejudice - read 73 pages. I've had a lot of fun this time and now I can go back to The Last Kingdom without feeling guilty haha.

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...
