Dear Cannonballer…

August 4, 2020 by MsWas 6 Comments

First, I want to extend my sincere wishes that you and yours are healthy and doing well during the pandemic. I know very well how hard things have gotten, let alone adding anything extra onto your plate like CBR. If you haven’t been reading, I get it. If you’ve started books and didn’t finish, I get that too. If you’ve read a bunch but haven’t been reviewing, welcome to the club,it’s a big one with a lot of fabulous members. It’s really ok. I’d be […]
