12 Bookworm Problems

Image
I am a massive bookworm. I love reading books and escaping the real world and enter a fictional one. Reading makes me so happy because I can just get lost into the pages of a book and forget about all the problems of really life. However, like with many things there are a few problems many bookworms like myself have to face. 1. So many books to read There are so many books out there of all different genres and the sad truth is we probably won't be able to read them all. No matter how big your book collection is there is always another book out there which could be apart of your favourite genre and you don't own it. There are so many books I want to read. I have a huge reading list of books which I own that I want to read but there's also books which are on my Amazon wish list that I want to read to. It's complicated but you'll always find another book to read. 2. Not enough time to read I wish I could spend all day just reading books but sometimes life ha

My Favourite Book

As you know I am a massive bookworm and I made a post a while back about  My Top Ten Favourite Books . Now since making that list I have read even more books and one particular has now become my favourite book. That book is Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. This is the first book in a trilogy which is followed by Lola and the Boy Next Door and Isla and the Happily Ever After. I finished this book series not long ago and they were really good stories but nothing for me compared to the first in the series. I loved the character of Anna because she just seemed so relatable and the other characters were really interesting like St Clair. I thought his character was really interesting and fun loving. The romance in the story was just so perfect and felt so right. It was more fun loving, cute and happy than the others. There were a few surprises a long the way that I wasn't expecting so it just felt so good to read. I read it within two days because I could not put

Home Is Where The Heart Is

You know that phrase home is where the heart is well that is so true for me. As you may have guessed I am about to go home for reading week and I'm so excited. I love going home because it's a break away from university which at times can be really stressful at times. It's just nice to get away sometimes. I've been back at university for nearly two months so it's about time I go home even if it's for just a week. It's still a break away from the stresses of university. Even though university work is still playing in the back of my mind, it's not as overwhelming when I'm at home. I think what I love about going home is being surrounded by family. Spending time with my mum is literally the best for me. I just love my mum. I also get to see other members of my family as well as my best friend from school too. It's just so perfect and happy in my opinion. Even though I love life at university and being independent, nothing can really beat the

Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day everyone! I hope you've all had a great day whether you're spending it with your loved one or your friends or family or even if you are spending it alone. I hope your day has been a great one. I am spending it alone as I am single and all my friends have gone home for a week. I don't mind though because I have finally learned to love myself. Even when I'm alone I can make myself happy. I've actually had a really good day. I've tried to stay off social media because I find social media can be quite stressful and emotional sometimes so I just decided to stay off it day. To be honest I do feel quite content in doing that just forgetting the rest of the world and just focusing on me. Now for the afternoon as I had two lectures in the morning I decided to get comfortable in some comfy clothes then I decided to glam myself up a bit. I decided to curl my hair and put on my makeup. Even though I wasn't going out anywhere, I just felt li

How I Wind Down and De Stress

Create distractions for myself so my mind is focused on something else. Tidying my room/house I don't know about you but tidying my house or even my bedroom is just a big distraction for me. My mind is just so focused on tidying that anything else on my mind just fades away for a bit. I also love the end result when your bedroom or even the house is just tidy because it looks and smells so nice. I also love trying new ways to organise my things and I always end up watching YouTube videos for organisation tips because I find them to be really helpful sometimes. There's just something satisfying about an organised space or room. Making my room cosy This is one of the ways which is kind of an essential for my winding down time and that is to make my bedroom cosy by turning on my fairy lights and lighting a few candles. It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and honestly my bedroom is like my happy place because it's all mine and I'm surrounded by all the

Library Study Session Essentials

As many of students will tell that you will have a more productive study session in the library rather than in your bedroom (even if you are working on your bedroom desk, you will not be as productive). In my opinion working on assignments or studying for exams is a huge benefit to me and makes me even more productive than if I was in my bedroom. I think it's because I'm surrounded by other people who are working to and in the library (my library does this and I'm sure others do) but there's different floors dedicated to the noise level. There's a floor for group study session which is quite loud, there's a slightly quiet floor and then there's the top floor which is the very quiet floor which is where I go to do my work. I don't like to be distracted when I'm working because I like all my focus to be on the work so for me working in a quiet area where there aren't many people talking is a really help for me. Now I thought I'd share my
