You Will Love These Books, I Promise

Still Life by Louise Penny

August 12, 2015 by MsWas 8 Comments

Oh Cannonballers, my Cannonballers, you must read this series. MUST! I was waxing eloquent about Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache books on Facebook, and emmalita suggested I write a review. At first I said I couldn’t as most of my extra time is spent taking care of CBR-related tasks. But then I finished How the Light Gets In and it was JUST SO GOOD that I thought I had to break down and tout them to you. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is a homicide detective with the Sûreté du Québec […]

First CBR7 Donation to American Cancer Society

March 9, 2015 by MsWas 6 Comments

I’m so happy to let you know that not only have we been able to pay in full for this year’s website hosting, revenue generated from Amazon.com has allowed us to make a $150.00 donation to the American Cancer Society. This includes December purchases on Amazon, which apparently included some big ticket items. Don’t forget, ANYTHING you order on Amazon after visiting our affiliate link will generate revenue. So if you’re still in the market for snow shovels or (eek!) a generator, or if you’re searching […]

Huzzah, another Book Exchange!

December 16, 2014 by MsWas 1 Comment

Many many thanks to faintingviolet – not only for organizing this Book Exchange, but also for  sneakily picking ME as her recipient. The mailman usually comes in the afternoon, but he must be behind with all of his deliveries, because the bell rang this morning, and it was a package for me. Now I have treats to go with my coffee and something to read on my lunch hour!  Thanks so much and Happy Holidays (and Happy Reading) to everyone!
