Rising Above the Cliches or The Wrong Book Worked Out

April 28, 2015 by Jenny S Leave a Comment

So here’s the thing. I accidentally read the wrong Jojo Moyes for my book club; you can’t blame me because the covers all look really similar. My book club had chosen The Girl You Left Behind but somehow I ended up reading the eBook version of Me Before You from my local library. And I enjoyed it. The story of Louisa “Lou” Clark, a girl from a small town in England with a seemingly “small” life, who takes on the job of caring for quadriplegic […]

Where’s the Queue Forming for the ‘Survival is Insufficient’ Tattoo?

March 8, 2015 by Quorren 6 Comments

Getting this in just under the wire for tomorrow.  Hopefully I have some time tomorrow to jump into the discussion.  Or lurk.  I’m good at lurking. I’m sure by now, most know the basic premise of this book – deadly flu wipes out a lot of the population and years later, humanity is still trying to survive.  As far as dead horses and the beating there of, it’s a genre that’s been heavily explored, especially if you count zombie apocalypses into the equation.  But for […]

February 9, 2015 by faintingviolet 13 Comments

Ok fellow Cannonballers, it’s time to dive into CBR Book Club! After several awesome reviews of Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven, we’re going to have a spoiler-heavy discussion of the book, and Mswas has asked me, faintingviolet, to moderate. We will be starting on Monday March 9th, to give those of you who have added it to your TBR one month to get it read before the discussion. One of the struggles I had with reviewing this book was not wanting to discuss the […]
