Review Policy & Rating System

If you are a publisher/author and are interested in contacting me about a book, you can do so at adayinbookland.noelia@gmail.com and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Bear in mind I only review adult books (excluding erotica) and sometimes middle-grade books. I do not review self-published books.

Here is my rating system. In the blog I will not use the star system but the numerical one. I feel it's more personal than the star rating which I find pretty limiting.


DNF: It will get no rating
1 star (1-2 out of 10): I finished the book but I disliked it. A lot.
2 stars (3-4 out of 10): a book whose faults outshined the good bits or a book that didn't work for me as a reader.
2.5 stars (5-5.5 out of 10): An okay read. Probably a story I liked as a whole but had its issues. Will recommend depending on the reader.
3 stars (6-6.5 out of 10): I enjoyed the book. It might not be perfect but it's worth the read. I recommend it.
3.5 stars (7 out of 10): I liked/enjoyed the book. Worth the read. Maybe not as good as a 4 stars due to some issues but one I recommend for sure.
4 stars (7.5-8.5 out of 10): I adored the book. I definitely recommend it.
4.5 stars (9 out of 10): Almost flawless.
5 stars (9.5-10 out of 10): A favourite. Flawless. A book I completely fell in love with.

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...
