Happy Holidays from…the IRS?
It’s been a hell of a year that seems to stretch on for an eternity, but how can it be that it’s suddenly almost December?? We made it past Thanksgiving, and it’s going to be time for Whamageddon and for more of those inflatable holiday decorations to start popping up on everyone’s lawns. (After seeing so many at Halloween, I’ll wager that we see dragons or dinosaurs taking over displays this year. You heard it here first.) A Big Thank You! I’ve said many times since […]
My Life with Ariel
Sea Witch by Sarah Henning
The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen
When we were selecting which title we wanted to lead for #CannonBookClub, I offered to take The Little Mermaid and Sea Witch—having seen the Broadway show once and the animated movie approximately 10,000 times with my two daughters, I thought I surely knew the source material. A couple of days later, I was coincidently recommended Malcom Gladwell’s podcast Revisionist History, and the next 3 episodes he aired was a series on the movie. (Listen to Episode 1 and/or read the article by the guest of […]

My Stomach Still Feels the Same
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume
My retired librarian mother and I are alike in many ways; but one of the big differences between us* is that I’m a big proponent of rereading books, and she never rereads ANY THING. She says there are too many books that she hasn’t read to spend time on rereading. Personally, as much as I do like going back to books, I usually only reread books I enjoyed like A Wrinkle in Time, The Stopping Place and The Owl and the Pussycat.
Dear Cannonballer
How are you doing with your Cannonball this year? Do you think you’ll meet your CBR13 goal? Or does the thought of clicking that publish button send chills down your spine? We’re getting towards the end of the first quarter of 2021, and 119 CBR13 Cannonballers* have posted a review and made it onto the Leaderboard. Did you know, though, that’s only 50% of registered participants? So, it’s literally a toss of the coin whether or not any given Cannonballer has posted a review. […]
