Get those TBR lists out, we’ve got suggestions! No, CBR13 isn’t over yet, but you’ve all had time to weigh in on your favorites and least loved books of the year. We’ve published our list over at Pajiba.com. So head over and see what our intrepid Cannonballers have recommended you pick up, and what you should stay away from this holiday season. Everyone around here knows that a good book recommendation could just be the best present of all, so my list will continue on […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Jenna
Your bio says your favorite genre is “takes place in an old hotel.” I love the specificity of that! Do you have a favorite “old hotel” book, or one that you think best represents the genre?

There are always secret nooks and crannies, everyone knows more than they let on, and time is always of the essence because […]
CBR Diversions – So How’d It Go In There?
In another shocking turn of events, 2021 is almost over. That means it is time to start thinking about the end of CBR13.

Donation Good News

Thanks to our incredibly successful #GivingTuesday, we were able to match Bothari43’s donation with another $300 donation to the American Cancer Society this morning. With this donation, we remember AlabamaPink, and we also remember […]
A Holiday Gift With PERFECT Timing!
Here’s a HUGE thank you to LurkeyTurkey whose Holiday Gift Exchange package was sitting on my porch when I got home yesterday morning. After getting sick with what turned out to be my SECOND bad cold since the beginning of November, I’d had to drive over to my doctor’s office to make an appointment for later in the morning because their phone lines were so tied up that no calls would ring through. And sitting on my porch was a package addressed to “The Incredible […]
