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

    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 :)

FROM ONE TO FIVE

Another Saturday, another bookish rant😂😊. Welcome to another chapter of weekly special book lovers 📚😍. The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change? The other day I saw a post on Instagram about whether book reviewers still made use of "stars" when reviewing books, and I was compelled to make this a topic on my book segment! So the question is, 'Do reviewers and generally book lovers still make use of stars when reviewing books?' As a book reviewer myself, I love making use of stars, and I will never stop making use of them except a better system comes up for scaling books 😂. It is also true that I correct my ratings accordingly. What do I mean by this? This is what I mean: when rating books, I go by my mood and excitement after completion of the book, and I immediately rate books. I may look back on my emotions after reading a particular book and correct my ratings. I recently...

WHO AM I?

In this chapter of the Weekly Special, I am going to dive into who I am aside from being a book reviewer! I know y'all are probably thinking that all I do with my time is read books and rate them on a scale of five 😂😂. Probably not! So the question is, Who is RayoReads? I am Rayo, and this is who I am aside from reading and reviewing books. 1. I am a student at Delta State University in Abraka studying physiology. How cool, right? (just joking) 😂😂 . When school is in session,studies take up most of my time, which is why I am so happy when we go on breaks.  2. I am a very introverted person, which you will have guessed, so no partying, going out , excessive friends, and the rest. 3. I am an indoors person, but that does not mean I sleep a lot 💤😂 .P.S.: I don't like taking afternoon naps. 4. I am not a big social person, but you can find me on Facebook: (  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087184700959&mibextid=ZbWKwL )    Instagram (...
