A pop culture junkie, Katie has an addiction to tragically bad romance novels. In addition, Katie is resolute in her belief that Evans is #BestChris and doesn't understand why people live where it snows. That shit is terrifying.

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: a Classic mystery

November 1, 2025 by katie71483 3 Comments

Hi, Classic! Thanks so much for agreeing to participate in our interview! I see from your Cannonball Read profile that you’ve been participating in and off since CBR 9. How did you find us? I used to post on Pajiba, and reading Pajiba Love, I saw that there were often book reviews and I started to read the reviews that were linked. There were more CBR commenters back in those days, and I think it was Ms. Julien who told me about CBR and how […]

Quick Questions with Cosbrarian: Fairy Tales Are F*cked Up

October 1, 2025 by katie71483 14 Comments

Thanks for joining us today, Cosbrarian! We’re so excited to talk about your book, but we’ll get to that in a minute. For those of the Cannonball Read community that are new, would you please tell us how you found us and how long you’ve been participating?  I was invited to join Cannonball Read when I was a more active Facebook member on the Pajiba community group. That was back in 2019. I have participated for several years, though I took some time off around […]

Shifters, fairies, bake offs, oh myyyy

The Alpha and the Baker by Roxie Ray

September 4, 2025 by katie71483 2 Comments

Y’all, when I tell you this delightfully sweet and sexy bon bon of a novel is everything I needed to take my mind off of [insert Kermit flail here] everything. I just didn’t know it when I started The Alpha and the Baker by Roxie Ray this morning. Castiel McAllister*, known by one and all as Cas, is a golden retriever of an alpha wolf shifter. Nary a grunt or assholery behavior to be found, only a desire for his pack to be safe, healthy […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Carmelpie Is One of Us

August 1, 2025 by katie71483 10 Comments

Hi, carmelpie! Thanks so much for agreeing to share a little bit about yourself today. You’ve been a participant of Cannonball Read since CBR13. How did you find your way to us? What’s your favorite part of CBR?  I found Cannonball Read via Pajiba. I’ve been a Pajiba reader for at least fifteen years. Still, it didn’t occur to me to join a reading challenge until the winter of 2020, when my boredom and free time skyrocketed. I thought, “Hey, maybe I would enjoy writing […]

In which PattyKates is surprised by The Black Dagger Brotherhood

June 6, 2025 by katie71483 1 Comment

Black Dagger Brotherhood Watch: S1E1 Katie: Patty, shall we revert to our Khatie and Phatty names since JR Ward insists on inserting unnecessary Hs into names? Phatty: Absolutely. Khatie: I thought you’d feel that way. Phatty: Wait, was there an intro? Did I miss or skip the intro? Khatie: on the show or to this conversation about the Black Dagger Brotherhood series created by Passionflix based on the series by JR Ward? That was an enormous mouthful. Phatty: Girl, to the show. We’ve been talking […]
