The Holiday Book Exchange is closed! Each year Cannonball Read holds a (completely voluntary) Holiday Book Exchange, and we’re happy to continue the tradition this year. It’s a lovely part of our community here at CBR and a great way to get to know a fellow Cannonballer a little bit better. If you are able to join us in the fun of sending books we are excited for you to join our bookish end of year celebration. Whether you have posted zero reviews or more […]
CBR Diversions: Holiday Season –Time To Give BOOKS
The holidays are just around the corner. It may only be the beginning of November, but the stores are already decorated and playing holiday music. So let’s talk about book giving for the holidays. In Iceland they celebrate something called Jólabókaflóð (which means Christmas Book Flood.) The tradition, which started during WWII, is to give each other books on Christmas Eve. Families then spend the evening reading with a warm drink by a cozy fire. That sounds like heaven to me! Some people follow this […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Kit Moonstar

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Sophia
You have eight bingos – congratulations! Have you participated in Book Bingo in previous years? I have done Book Bingo at least once before, but I got bogged down with my reviews, so I don’t think I was very successful. Last year I was too busy to even try Book Bingo. This year, I’ve been better at staying up on my reviews. My goal was a blackout, and I’m almost there! What’s your go-to ‘recommend to new friends’ book? I think it depends a lot […]
