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 Tracy: Getting back in the saddle

June 3, 2025 by katie71483 9 Comments

Hi, Tracy! Thank you so much for agreeing to participate in Quick Questions with a Cannonballer. You’ve been a member of the Cannonball Read community for several years. Would you mind sharing a little bit about yourself and how you found us? Ok, a little about me: I grew up in Maryland and I was one of those horse crazy girls. I took riding lessons and read all the horse books I could get my hands on. After grad school (for clinical psychology), I moved […]

Ruffled Feathers: an Omegaverse Romcom by Grace McGinty

April 25, 2025 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

Grace McGinty’s Ruffled Feathers: An Omegaverse Romcom makes for such a delightful palate cleanser after some of the truly dark romance that I’ve been reading lately. Romcom is the perfect descriptor for this luscious bonbon. There are multiple meet cutes since it’s a why choose romance. There are amusing high jinx involving adorable animals. Which is not to say that it’s completely saccharine. There are some mild taboos – the FMC and one of the MMCs are stepsiblings, but their parents didn’t meet and get […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Denesteak shares Southeast Asia

April 10, 2025 by katie71483 5 Comments

Denesteak! You’ve participated in Cannonball Read off and on almost since the very beginning. We’re so glad you’re back with us for CBR17. Would you share a little about how you came to be a part of the CBR community and what your screen name means? I’ve been part of the Pajiba community since the early 2000s, and I remember AlabamaPink fondly in the comment section, as well as Prisco. I joined CBR2 because I thought it would be a nice way to honor her […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Jormis takes us on a Hero’s Journey

February 1, 2025 by katie71483 7 Comments

Hi, Jormis! Thank you so much for agreeing to participate in Quick Questions with a Cannonballer. You’ve been participating for several years. While paging through your reviews, I realized that you have an extremely diverse collection of books that you’ve reviewed – everything from Maeve Binchy to pretty hardcore sci-fi. Do you have an absolute favorite genre? What do you consider to be the best representation of that genre? My absolute favourite genre is fantasy, followed closely by science fiction. In some of the best […]

Yet another once-promising series traveling an unfortunate path

Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

January 30, 2025 by katie71483 2 Comments

I came late to the Empyrean saga by Rebecca Yarros. I just read the first two installments, Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, about a month ago when I found them on Kindle Unlimited. Of course I’d seen them all over BookTok for the last couple of years, but I’d just never gotten around to reading them. The more people raved about them, the more resistant I became. (Honestly, I still haven’t read ACOTAR for much the same reason.) I thoroughly enjoyed Fourth Wing. I raced […]

Tangled in Knots: A Dark Omegaverse Novel by Jenn Bullard

January 24, 2025 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

Jenn Bullard’s Tangled in Knots: A Dark Omegaverse Novel is a hard sell. It requires an enormous number of trigger warnings. I’m not even sure that I *want* to recommend it. Don’t get me wrong – Bullard is a talented writer and creates a very detailed and realized world – but then concept of the book is just… DARK doesn’t even begin to cover it. STOP READING NOW IF YOU ARE EASILY DISTURBED BY VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. As with most Omegaverse […]
