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: Jenny S. coaches for a better tomorrow

December 12, 2024 by katie71483 6 Comments

Jenny S., can you believe you’ve been reading and writing reviews for 10 years as part of Cannonball Read? Thank you for your dedication! Do you remember how you found your way to the Cannonball Read community?  Yikes! Has it really been that long?  My sister, Sara, was (and still is) a reader of Pajiba and she sent me the call for CBR in January of 2014. I had been writing reviews on Goodreads since 2007, but I thought, “Hey! F*** Cancer.” The rest is […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Debcapsfan’s own Miracle on Ice

October 8, 2024 by katie71483 4 Comments

Katie71483, here. I don’t usually do this, but I’m inserting a little note from me to start this interview off. Sometimes you just can’t anticipate where an interview is going to go, and this is absolutely one of those times. You could probably be excused for thinking what you are about to read from Debcapsfan is actually an inspirational Disney sports movie. I feel so fortunate to be able to share her family’s miracle with all of you. Debcapsfan, welcome to Quick Questions with a […]

On the hunt for treasure

His Tesoro by Emilia Rossi

September 7, 2024 by katie71483 2 Comments

His Tesoro by Emilia Rossi felt like an important read to me as I was reading it, so much so that I created a draft of this review at about 50 pages in so that I would be sure to actually write a review and not just shrug it off. You can’t tell it from the cover, but this is a pretty spicy dark mafia romance. (Or, maybe you can, since this is often how spicy book covers are styled these days.) You may be […]

In the immortal words of T. Swift, “Baby, just say yes…”

A Daughter of Fair Verona by Christina Dodd

August 7, 2024 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

What if Romeo and Juliet didn’t die tragically in that tomb? Instead, what if they remained madly in love and grew comfortably middle-aged together and had a houseful of kids, the oldest of whom is a daughter named Rosalind who goes by Rosie? (Yes, Romeo insisted on naming their first daughter after the girl that he was infatuated with just prior to Juliet.) Rosie, who has just been betrothed for a fifth time to a villain after said villain pulled some power plays and her […]

Guardian by Sara Fields

August 5, 2024 by katie71483 7 Comments

Y’all… This warranted an immediate phone call to my former review writing partner, Pattykins. Do you remember several years ago when Patty and I read When Life Happened by Jewel E. Ann and it had such a shocking twist that I set up a separate Facebook group so that we could talk about the twist after you all read it? Guardian by Sara Fields came real close to that level of what the fuck just happened, which I would not have expected at all from […]
