CBR16 Book Bingo Reading Challenge Wrap-Up

December 19, 2024 by Emmalita 5 Comments

The CBR16 Book Bingo Reading Challenge has ended (41 days ago).   Thank you so much for playing and for your patience while I was distracted by 750 paper cuts. The final tallies are below, please let me know if I missed something. It’s tough to convey sincerity with a gif, but seriously, thank you for playing, whether you wrote 1 review or 25. Next summer, I think we will do a smaller bingo game, an ING if you will. Let me know in the […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Jenny S. coaches for a better tomorrow

December 12, 2024 by katie71483 6 Comments

Jenny S., can you believe you’ve been reading and writing reviews for 10 years as part of Cannonball Read? Thank you for your dedication! Do you remember how you found your way to the Cannonball Read community?  Yikes! Has it really been that long?  My sister, Sara, was (and still is) a reader of Pajiba and she sent me the call for CBR in January of 2014. I had been writing reviews on Goodreads since 2007, but I thought, “Hey! F*** Cancer.” The rest is […]

Giving Tuesday

November 25, 2024 by MsWas 1 Comment

It can sometimes be difficult to give thanks, whether it’s personal issues, politics, family, lack of sunlight, stress, worry, and feeling down.

We all need connections, and seeing what Cannonballers have been reading and writing lately has been a boon to me. I want to assure you that you are always welcome on our site and in our community. Whether you’re up to date […]

CBR Diversion: Edible Book Titles

November 21, 2024 by jomidi 48 Comments

November is a time for harvest, gratitude, and let’s be honest, eating. What happens when I combine two of my favorite hobbies: eating and reading? I change book titles into edible book titles. You guys had so much fun creating beach reads, so this month you have a chance to make edible books.  Change one word in a book title to a food to make the book title edible. Here are mine: A Separate Peach (Peace) The Music of Beets (Bees) French Bread (Braid) All […]

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.

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 […]
