CBR Diversions – Caption This…

August 21, 2020 by Emmalita 17 Comments

Jeverett15’s review of The Running Man reminded me that Richard Dawson used to be a big part of my after school TV watching – Hogan’s Heroes followed by Family Feud. Thinking about Richard Dawson the game show host made me think about games, which made me think about CBR Diversions which led me to the ever popular game on Twitter, Caption This. It’s perfect for snark and silliness. We never take a break from books around here, but sometimes we have fun with them. For […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: getoffmylawnn

August 6, 2020 by Bothari43 5 Comments

Ain’t no party, like a hurricane party ’cause a hurricane party don’t…Yeah, I’m not having a hurricane party. I put the kids to bed, filled my tummy with Wendy’s, and am watching fail videos on Youtube. Close enough, I guess. All is good here (though my kids’ trampoline was ripped from its anchors and rolled over by the wind. The safety netting was damaged, but I was able to force it back into a reasonably normal position). Anyway…This stats update is through the first week […]

Dear Cannonballer…

August 4, 2020 by MsWas 6 Comments

First, I want to extend my sincere wishes that you and yours are healthy and doing well during the pandemic. I know very well how hard things have gotten, let alone adding anything extra onto your plate like CBR. If you haven’t been reading, I get it. If you’ve started books and didn’t finish, I get that too. If you’ve read a bunch but haven’t been reviewing, welcome to the club,it’s a big one with a lot of fabulous members. It’s really ok. I’d be […]
