My Reading Week | 8th - 14th November | Ali Smith & Le Fanu

 


Hi there! Last week I didn't make a post because I didn't read a single page. I've been going through a kind of slump since all I do is study and I literally have no energy to read afterwards, not even at night, before going to bed. Hope this week is different.

NOV, 8th - I finally read Carmilla by Le Fanu and I have mixed feelings. It was atmospheric and in my opinion better than Dracula but felt the story was way too long. And yes, I'm well aware that objectively this isn't the book's fault but mine for reading it so slowly but I can't really shake off my impression that it took me ages to finish it when it was less than 150 pages.

NOV, 9th - This morning, as I was drinking my coffee before sitting down to study, I read the final pages of Spring by Ali Smith. I enjoyed the two previous installments of her seasonal quartet but Spring makes it to the top no problem.

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...
