"First up, Touki Bouki. It’s such a raw experimental work. I love its visual honesty and color palette. It also speaks to such an interesting experience within the diaspora – the idea of feeling sort of alienated by your own home. By Djibril Diop Mambéty, it speaks on a ton of things: cultural domination, neocolonialism, how you can feel alienated from your own culture. A visceral and brutal film made in the ’70s in Senegal. It starts with this beautiful wide static shot. We [the audience] are on sticks looking out as this herd starts to approach, and the color palette is insane. Like I said, it was made in the early ’70s, and they don’t shy away from showing anything. I don’t want to go too deep into what they don’t shy away from, because it’s a lot."

Five Reasons Why You Should Drop Everything on July 18 and Read The Color Project

Lately I've been in a reviewing funk/slump, so I am back again with another list of reasons why you should totally drop everything, and I mean everything (except for homework and other real-life priorities despite the fact you'd rather read all day) on July 18 (WHEN THE BOOK COMES OUT!) and read Sierra Abrams's debut novel.

The Use of Apps - I think this is a really minor detail, but I almost never see books that actually uses smartphone apps, and Abrams incorporates the use of at least one app I think almost everyone uses on a daily basis if not more.

Gorgeous Writing - I currently don't have the copy with me by side as I'm writing this review, but Abrams has some amazing descriptors in her novel (most of which having to do with stars and constellations, which I adore). Have I mentioned the chapters are based on songs?!

Family and Friendship - Aside from the obvious romance, family and friendship plays an important role in The Color Project, and I loved how Abrams incorporated those two elements together seamlessly with romance.

So Much Emotional Feels - If anyone knows me well enough, I am not an emotional person when it comes to the books I read and the movies/TV shows I see. The Color Project brings out my emotional side, and I had so many tears as I got closer to the end of the novel. (Granted, I might have been watching far too many Boys Over Flowers episodes and reading about three other contemporary novels at the same time, but I never cryyy.)

Cute Characters - I am alll for adorable characters. Imperfect Chemistry is valid proof of that, along with many others I've been reading lately (from I Believe in a Thing Called Love to When Dimple Met Rishi). Bee and Levi are so adorable, I just want to pick them up from The Color Project and adopt them.

It was an absolute delight to read Bee's and Levi's story in The Color Project, and is perfect for those looking for a contemporary novel that has gorgeous writing and bring so much emotion.

Yet again, this second part to The Color of Magic was absolutely brilliant. I marvel at Pratchett's ability to make me smile each and every page, while still giving forth characters that I can feel attached to. Marked as one of my favorite books, I will no doubt return to this one even as I make my way through all the novels of the Discworld.

Adding tourists. Changing priorities.

Tourist are collected after building a route and you can grab one from each city. And there are 6 different colors of tourists. The player with the majority gets points in each color. So you gotta keep up with what other players have. But you also have to build your routes. We liked this one too.
