Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: KatSings

August 15, 2016 by MsWas 8 Comments

KatSings didn’t tell us nearly enough about her acting career, but she told us lots of good stuff about her reading habits. Get ready for your TBR list to get even longer… How many times have you participated in CBR? According to the blog I use for my reviews, I started back in CBRIII, which was…2011, but allowed for reviews to start in December of 2010 to give us a headstart. I had been a lurker before that (though a regular commenter on Pajiba), daunted […]

Where in the World are You?

July 31, 2016 by MsWas 1 Comment

Just where are our noble Cannonballers? You’ll find out soon! Yesknopemaybe has kindly volunteered to create a Cannonball Read 8 participant map. We had one in 2014 for CBR 6 which is still live, but we weren’t able to create a new one until recently. I’ve seen the draft, and you won’t believe where this year’s reviewers are located. To make sure that we have a pretty accurate  map, please make sure that your profile has the correct information. State and Country are required, and you may enter your city […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Prisco

July 11, 2016 by MsWas Leave a Comment

Original Recipe Cannonballer Brian Prisco stepped into the crosshairs for this month’s Q&A. This whole shebang is partially his fault, and we love him for it. How many times have you participated in CBR? I kicked off the original. And then I bowed out for a while. I did the last one, Cannonball Read Seven. And maybe possibly probably I will do the tenth one, when it comes around. Since you’re an Original, can you tell us a quick AlabamaPink story? No. But I can […]
