So I think I’m now the third Cannonballer to review this series, but that’s okay because it can’t get enough endorsement! A New Adult series about smart athletes on the east coast working together to solve real problems? Just delightful. The series so far is four novels with a novella in the middle. A fifth novel comes out this fall, and you better believe I preordered it already! The Year We Fell Down was my favorite of them all. Corey and Hartley were so cute […]
A “New Adult” romance and my first Milan!
Ladies (and the gents who peruse our romance reviews, rock on) I have finally read a Milan. And it was okay. I will also state before anyone gets worried, I have already downloaded The Duchess War and shall be starting that shortly, but for now I read one. Trade Me falls into a new genre category it appears, called New Adult. It is more saucy than say a Young Adult love story, but nowhere near as saucy as I require from my grown up romances. […]
A book I’d never have read without your tireless suggestions and a half cannonball!
Without you Cannonballers I would have never, ever picked up this book. A book about wealthy-ish suburban moms and their cat fighting? Yeah, not my scene generally, but darn it all if y’all weren’t completely right in saying that it’s so much more! Big Little Lies is the story of some suburban moms in Australia (it took me way too long to figure out where they were located, until someone mentioned Sydney) who all have children starting kindergarten this year. So you know from the […]
A slice of young adult comfort food
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve reviewed something! So I disappeared off the face of the earth there for a bit guys, but don’t worry! I was reading all the while, and now have quite the backlog of reviews to catch up on. This is what happens when you decide to plan a wedding in 6 weeks… But anywho! Onto the tale. So I’ve been reading Sarah Dessen for a long time. I mean (I sat down and actually […]
A Beautiful Coming of Age Story
So this is the week I thank all of you, my fellow Cannonballers, for having such fabulous taste in books. Without all of you, I definitely would not have found some of my favorite books of the year so far! This review requires thanking yesknopemaybe for reviewing the incredible Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. Gracias. So this is the mostly autobiographical story of Ms. Woodson told from birth till probably ten to eleven. What makes it so special is that it’s told in free […]
A Little Book of Laughs
Just hopping on the bandwagon like everyone else! And after Redeployment I needed something a little silly to cleanse the palate. Enter my library getting this in for me at just the perfect time! As a lover of many pieces of classic literature, especially Jane Eyre (but not in the romantic way, because ew), parts of this were completely right up my alley. I was sending pictures of the book for my sister and I to cackle about like we were crazy witches (which we […]
