We Did It! Donation Goal Achieved

December 2, 2015 by MsWas 2 Comments

Hooray, we did it! Or rather, YOU did it! You all donated over $180 to Cannonball Read, and now our website hosting fees for 2016 are paid for! But wait, there’s more! You can still contribute to help Cannonball Read! Any money received through our Paypal that exceeds the hosting charges is earmarked for future hosting bills, so you’d still be helping CBR keep going. To do so, head to Paypal and make a gift to mswas@cannonballread.com. Thank you very much!

Help Keep Cannonball Read on the Road

December 1, 2015 by MsWas 17 Comments

It’s Giving Tuesday, a day where we can recover from all the crazy spending and shopping after Thanksgiving, and take a moment to give back. So I’m passing the virtual hat and asking you to consider contributing a few dollars to help with the costs of running the blog. We’ve got big plans for Cannonball Read 8, but as we grow, we’ll need more funds for website hosting. We always pay our website hosting bills first out of any revenue from our fundraising efforts, and […]

A Reminder from MsWas: Don’t Forget Us in Your Holiday Shopping!

November 28, 2015 by MsWas Leave a Comment

As you wend your way through Amazon’s Cyber Monday deals, don’t forget about our affiliate link,which just happens to be to a book written by one of the founders of Cannonball Read, Brian Prisco. You don’t have to buy Brian’s book, especially if you already have it on your shelves, but click over to it, and then shop. Every. Time. You. Shop. At. Amazon. Every time!! By doing so, you will be kicking cancer’s butt and donating to the American Cancer Society at no extra charge to you. So whether […]

Our Cannonball Holiday Tradition – Book Exchange

November 23, 2015 by MsWas 5 Comments

It’s time for our Cannonball Holiday Tradition – Book Exchange! Katie (faintingviolet) has offered to handle the arrangement of the exchange again this year. You can email her directly with any questions and to sign up (see the directions below). The CBR Book Exchange is completely voluntary, but it’s a nice way to add another layer to our sense of community here at CBR and a lovely excuse to purchase something via the Cannonball Read Buy Hole. Remember, 100% of the percentages generated through the Buy Hole go […]
