Sixth CBR8 Donation to American Cancer Society

December 31, 2016 by MsWas Leave a Comment

To close out the year, I’m so happy to tell you that we’ve made another donation, in the amount of $200, to the American Cancer Society in AlabamaPink’s name. I’m also pleased to note that our donation today was doubled, due to a group of generous donors to the American Cancer Society who have issued a challenge: They will match every gift made before midnight tonight, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000. So our donation was doubled, to make $400. That brings our group total for the year […]

Life is too short to read shitty books

December 17, 2016 by MsWas Leave a Comment

But sometimes you did. And we loved it! You know it, the worst books often make The. Best. Reviews. (And trigger warnings.) I bet you have one particular book in mind, right? That piece of crap you struggled through so you could write your review, is it still in the corner where it landed after being hurled from your sight? Or did it go out in the trash? Why couldn’t that book be more like that other book? You know the one, the one you luuuuuurve. […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: bonnie

December 15, 2016 by MsWas 16 Comments

(This is Cannonballer bonnie, not MsWas Bonnie. She’s got 128 reviews so far!) How many times have you participated in CBR? This is my fourth CBR (I started with CBR5). I’ve actually been a lurker on Pajiba for the last ten years (I read a lot of the posts, but my commenting is infrequent at best) so I remember CBR1 between Prisco and AlabamaPink. Though she and I never had any interaction, I was devastated to learn of her death. I always enjoyed the CBR […]
