FROM BOOKWORM TO STUDENT MODE: BALANCING BOOKS & STUDIES

Another saturday! Another bookish rant! Hope your weekend has been less stressful than mine 😩 because my week has been filled with a lot of things.

My uni resumption is just around the corner 👀📅 (and don't everybody dreads uni resumption ,and my calendar has been getting busy and busier with a lot of activites.

After six blissful months of "uni-stress"-free life, but in less than a week to go for school activities to kickoff, I am so anxious🤯. How will I balance studies, activities, and my beloved books📚?

To tackle this challenge Meta shared tips for me to balance studies and my beloved books.

Here are Meta's top 3 tips for finding a balance ⚖

1. Wake up early for reading time: This is the first thing Meta advised me to do and I think it is a very good idea and it is something I can do and achieve.

2. Short stories/Novellas: Fit smaller reads into tight schedules. This is also something I can do if I look deep enough to find short stories and novellas that interest me.

3. Use waiting time for reading: This is something I always utilize and I think it is a spot on advise 🙌
And with that we have come to end of this segment but I need your best tips!

Question: How do you balance studies and reading? Share your tips in the comments section below!

Until next rant! Stay bookish and wonderful 📚&😍

Stay tuned for Chapter 10 which is a recap from chapters 1 to 9

  1. Good luck for your studies!! I really struggled when I was at uni to read for leisure because we do so much academic reading but once I got past that, I started to really enjoy reading again. I would read shorter books and I'd also find new books in the library that I could read while on campus. I liked to give myself dedicated reading time too so like set a timer for 30 mins and read a book for leisure then go back to the academic stuff. Thank you for sharing! - Ash :)

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HUSBAND BY KATHLEEN WHYMAN

📖 BOOK TITLE: HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HUSBAND? 📖AUTHOR: KATHLEEN WHYMAN  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #154thBookof2024 I love this book, the humor! The drama! And the mystique surrounding Scott and his numerous problems. I can't believe Marie and his ex-wife married this guy. Scott is an a$$hole, and he deserves to be treated as such. Those poor innocent kids 😩. While humor was a big part of the novel, this book shines a light on serious topics such as infidelity, gaslighting, serial lying, and paternal irresponsibility towards children, just to say the least. I had so much fun laughing while reading this book and gained awareness of how lies and subtle gaslighting build up! What Scott did is unacceptable! And my heart goes out to all the things he did to the women he was with; what a gag🤮🤢. And yes, there is a love interest 🥰🥰🥰. 📖 RATINGS : 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

#16 NETGALLEY READ: SOMEONE LIKE YOU

📖 BOOK TITLE: SOMEONE LIKE YOU    📖AUTHOR: SANDY BARKER  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #134thBookOf2024 Thank you to Netgalley, Boldwood Books, and Sandy Barker for granting my request to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions. I would have rated this 3.5 stars, but I rounded it up to 4 stars. The whole transition from friends to lovers took me on a ride, and I really thought that both Raff's and Gaby's HEAs (Happily Ever After) would not happen due to some circumstances on both MCs part. "Someone Like You" is the fourth book in the "Ever After Agency Series," and I read this book as a standalone even without reading the rest in the series. Honestly, I feel that no one can be as dumb and oblivious as Raff. Like, seriously, dude, how can you not know when someone is flirting with you? The whole matchmaker bit got me excited (that's a dream job). Overall, I really enjoyed this story, even if I thought it was way too long and dragging ...

#17 NETGALLEY READ: SOME LIKE IT SCOT

📖 BOOK TITLE: SOME LIKE IT SCOT  📖AUTHOR: PEPPER BASHAM  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #135thBookOf2024 Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for granting my request to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions. It has been long since I've felt all the feels of a romantic swoon, and this book filled my heart with a renewed faith in love and what love can do to a person. I kept wishing for this book not to end for me to continue immersing myself in the richness of the love story between Graeme (I pronounce this as "grim" in my head; I hope that is correct 😂) and Katie. These two give a whole different meaning to love, 🥰🥰 and I love it for them. Katie, the travel writer who does not have roots in any place, meets Graeme, who has a loving family in Mull and is not thinking of going anywhere any time soon. After meeting our two MCs, I thought that maybe this was just going to be a fling, but alas, with these two, the word fling doesn'...
