Quick Questions with Cosbrarian: Fairy Tales Are F*cked Up

October 1, 2025 by katie71483 14 Comments

Thanks for joining us today, Cosbrarian! We’re so excited to talk about your book, but we’ll get to that in a minute. For those of the Cannonball Read community that are new, would you please tell us how you found us and how long you’ve been participating?  I was invited to join Cannonball Read when I was a more active Facebook member on the Pajiba community group. That was back in 2019. I have participated for several years, though I took some time off around […]

Cannonball Read 17 Bingo: The Second Check-in

September 10, 2025 by Emmalita 11 Comments

Welcome to the second Bingo check-in! We are just past the halfway point, so there is still lots of time to play. The card, square descriptions, and rules can be found here. I know I say this every year, but my favorite thing about Bingo is the books you choose to fit the squares. This year you all continue to choose books that are interesting, fun, and challenging, whether you like them or not. I am reading all of your reviews. Rather than a prayer, I […]

CBR Diversion – Name that sequel!

September 1, 2025 by jomidi 13 Comments

When you finish a really good book, you hate for it to end. That is why we all love sequels. Let’s have some fun with sequels. Since most of us don’t have the time or the talent to write a sequel to our favorite book, we can at least write the title. Even if the book already has a sequel with a different name, I am sure we can think up a better one. So here are my suggestions – original book title followed by […]

Welcome to the first monthly check-in for the Cannonball Read 17 Book Bingo Reading Challenge. The card, square descriptions, and rules can be found here. First, thank you for being here!!! Second – check your tags! the tag should be cbr17bingo with no spaces. I’ll clean up the other tags I’ve found this week. Third – check my math.

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Carmelpie Is One of Us

August 1, 2025 by katie71483 10 Comments

Hi, carmelpie! Thanks so much for agreeing to share a little bit about yourself today. You’ve been a participant of Cannonball Read since CBR13. How did you find your way to us? What’s your favorite part of CBR?  I found Cannonball Read via Pajiba. I’ve been a Pajiba reader for at least fifteen years. Still, it didn’t occur to me to join a reading challenge until the winter of 2020, when my boredom and free time skyrocketed. I thought, “Hey, maybe I would enjoy writing […]
