Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: ElCicco

March 28, 2017 by MsWas 15 Comments

How many times have you participated in CBR? I started with CBR4! So this is my 6th year, which is hard to believe. Time flies when you’re reading. I used to see Pajiba posts in my FB feed and especially enjoyed the book reviews. I thought it would be good for me to write about the books I read because I’d seen an article about warding off dementia by keeping your brain active with reading and writing. So far so good! Has being a participant […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: The Chancellor

February 16, 2017 by MsWas 6 Comments

How many times have you participated in CBR? I have participated in CBR since CBR 6. Has being a participant changed the way you read? If so, how?

Keeping up with certain […]

Quick Questions with …Myself?

January 13, 2017 by MsWas 14 Comments

To kick off Cannonball Read 9, our newsletter maven, Bothari43, interviewed me as the first Q&A of the year. How did you become Coordinator of Cannonball Read? Did you start out as a participant? Cannonball Read 2 was my first time as a participant – here’s my first review!  At the end of CBR3, Tamatha asked me to take over running CBR4. That Read and CBR5 were standalone blogs over at wordpress.com, and our reviews would go up daily over at Pajiba. For CBR6 though, […]

Cannonball Read NINE Has Begun!

January 1, 2017 by MsWas Leave a Comment

Cannonball Read 9 has officially started. Note: there is one new field that you’ll need to fill in when you are writing your post: Book Quantity. Use this field to say how many books are being reviewed in that post. The data in that field will eventually replace the manual update of the leaderboard, but not yet.
