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 :)

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: REMEMBER ME TOMORROW

📖 BOOK TITLE: REMEMBER ME TOMORROW  📖AUTHOR: FARAH HERON 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #127thBookOf2024 Yes, this book is a little bonkers. This is a very unconventional love story, and you have to really get at it to grasp the story between Jay and Aleeza. You know I love everything time travel/parallel universe-related, and with each fiction book I read about this topic, my mind is blown away every single time. Yes, there's more mystery elements than the rom-com because how can Aleeza be in love with Jay, who is not even in her timeline, talk about a guy who is unavailable? I loved how put together this book was, how the mystery elements worked together; there was no point in this book that was left to assumptions; everything was explained well without being boring and overly descriptive. Overall, I really enjoyed this story, and definitely this will not be my last Farah Heron's book. 📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📖QUOTES: ♤ Time isn’t linear. There are an infin...

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: MIDNIGHTS WITH YOU

📖BOOK TITLE: MIDNIGHTS WITH YOU  📖AUTHOR:  CLARE OSONGCO 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #151stBookOf2024 Midnights With You is incredibly painful and sad—I say painful because it shines a light on the amount of harm that painful parent-child relationships cause on children and young adults. Upon seeing the cover, I was expecting a young adult romance, and I didn't even read the synopsis, so I was so shocked to discover the content. It was extremely painful to read and witness what was happening to Deedee, who felt so lost, so unloved, carrying all the shame and guilt all for no reason. Before reading, please ensure you read the trigger warnings, and I am going to add it to my review: This story contains on-page depictions of a parent being emotionally abusive, slapping, depression, grief, and racism. It also mentions the off-page death of a parent and off-page domestic violence and contains a brief scene of on-page sexual harassment. This is the kind of story...
