If you're colorblind, you just might miss the rainbow.
Working at a department store has taught me a lot about how people shop. There are the individuals who start shopping for Christmas three months ahead of time and then there are the ones who wait until the last week. I can definitely relate to the latter. If you’re looking for some gifts for the book lovers in your life, look no further!
*Synopsis*

These past two weeks, I’ve been alternating between two books in between studying for exams. Finals coming up soon and I’m honestly so ready to be done with these classes.
Last Monday, I started reading my hardcover copy of American Street by Ibi Zoboi. I mentioned it here oh so long ago.
I really like it so far. I’m Haitian and it’s great to see Haitian authors coming into the mainstream. After reading Roxanne Gay’s Hunger, this book is definitely easier to get through.
When I’m not reading this, I’m listening to the audiobook of Black Klansman by Ron Stallworth. I had wanted to see the movie when it came out, but I didn’t get the chance. Listening to Black Klansman makes me want to rent the movie at some point.
My review should be up shortly for this one.
I plan on listening to the book To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han next. I tried reading it last year, but I couldn’t get past the first chapter. Hopefully, I can get through it this time. I want to watch the movie right after.
Finals are around the corner, which means this semester is almost over! *Le sigh*
I’m relieved but also just a tiny bit sad that my first semester of college is almost over.
I just reached 100 followers, so that’s exciting! Thank you for all the love and support. The comments have really helped keep me going these past few months. I love y’all!
I currently have five drafts for various reviews and tags that I started forever ago. I’ll finally have some time to work on those. I want to get back to my Friday/Saturday posting schedule.
Also, my birthday was yesterday so I plan on adding a post about that on my personal blog, Life Update, at some point in the near future.
