But sometimes you did. And we loved it! You know it, the worst books often make The. Best. Reviews. (And trigger warnings.) I bet you have one particular book in mind, right? That piece of crap you struggled through so you could write your review, is it still in the corner where it landed after being hurled from your sight? Or did it go out in the trash? Why couldn’t that book be more like that other book? You know the one, the one you luuuuuurve. […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: bonnie
(This is Cannonballer bonnie, not MsWas Bonnie. She’s got 128 reviews so far!) How many times have you participated in CBR? This is my fourth CBR (I started with CBR5). I’ve actually been a lurker on Pajiba for the last ten years (I read a lot of the posts, but my commenting is infrequent at best) so I remember CBR1 between Prisco and AlabamaPink. Though she and I never had any interaction, I was devastated to learn of her death. I always enjoyed the CBR […]

Help Make This Year’s Donation Even Bigger
It’s #GivingTuesday, a day where we can recover from all the crazy spending and shopping after Thanksgiving and see where we can give back and make a difference. Normally at this time of year, I’d ask for help to keep this place running. But thanks to a donation in September from Eric and Tamara Yollick, our website hosting has been paid for through Cannonball Read 9! This is what the message with their donation said: We enjoy reading the reviews on your site. We have […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Malin
How many times have you participated in CBR? I’ve actually taken part since the start of November 2009, right when Cannonball Read II started. Back then the goal was to read 100 books, and checking back through my blog, I reached that goal by the end of October. I think I may be one of the participants who have kept going the longest, but it wasn’t until Cannonball Read III that I actually started reviewing absolutely every book I read. By then I’d realised that […]
It’s time for our Cannonball Holiday Tradition – Book Exchange!
Katie (faintingviolet) has offered to handle the organization of the exchange for 2016. You can email her directly with any questions and to sign up (see the directions below). The CBR Book Exchange is completely voluntary, but 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. Not to mention that it provides a great excuse to purchase something via the Cannonball Read Buy Hole. Remember, 100% of the percentages generated through […]
