June Books | 2020

June was a very weird month for me, reading wise. For the majority of it I was pretty slumpy (the first book I finished was on the 13th); luckily, I got out of it during the second half of the month.
  • The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta. A wonderful coming of age story (8.5/10).
  • White Rage by Carol Anderson. A tough read, not only on the subject matter but also in how academic it is (9/10).
  • Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender. Adorable read. It has its cheesy moments but I loved this book due to Felix's journey towards self-love and self-acceptance; it was beautiful to read. (8.5/10).
  • The Complete Chi's Sweet Home, Part 2 by Kanata Konami. I needed something that would make me smile and this graphic novel did the trick. Read it in one sitting and it was as adorable as part 1 (8/10).
  • Kingdom of Souls by Rena Barron. A bit disappointing. The elements I enjoyed the most were the world-building and the magic system alongside the mythology. My main problems were the characters, who I couldn't connect to and therefore never cared for them; and the romance, which becomes a pivotal point in the narrative and look, I don't mind a bit of romance here and there but I hate when it gets the whole attention, especially in fantasy (6.5/10).
  • The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. This took me more than a month to get through and I have such mixed feeling about it. Some parts of the narrative I enjoyed and I was intrigued enough to actually finish the book despite being tempted to dnf it at times but the outcome of the story was completey underwhelming for me (5.5/10).

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...
