I’ll make a man out of myself (Bingo!)
She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan
CBR14 Bingo: Star (Zhu might be described as something of a rising star within the Chinese power structure of the day, and also the sun is literally a star. I’m so very clever). Back in the 14th Century, the Mongols had conquered and ruled Imperial China. In a small village, drought and famine have killed the majority of the population. A nameless girl (one of the few children left in the village) has managed to stay alive thanks to her ingenuity. When her older brother, […]

Scandalized by Ivy Owens
Last month I read Dome’Loki’s review of Scandalized and immediately requested it from my library, which meant I joined a several week long queue. As promised in the review, this story pulls you in immediately. When it finally got to me it took me less than 36 hours to read it (I almost finished it in less than 12, but at 75% I just couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer and I was required to go to work on Monday – nonsense I tell […]
Alright I get it, and I’m on board!
All Systems Red by Martha Wells
BINGO – Rec’d by nearly every Cannonballer at this point There is a Security Unit (SecUnit) assigned to protect a group of scientific researchers made up of humans and augmented humans.

SecUnits are designed and built to provide deadly security if needed. What this group of researchers don’t know is their SecUnit has broken his governor unit, watches soap operas […]
But Do We Know Anyone, Really?
Verity by Colleen Hoover
Read this as part of CBR14 Bingo: hot. Colleen Hoover is the hottest writer out there right now. (Zoolander movie voice) That Colleen Hoover is so hot right now. Seriously, I keep hearing her name in book circles (is that the same Colleen who writes historical fiction? No that’s McCullough), seeing her books literally EVERYWHERE (this one I kept getting confused with the popular and similarly titled YA historical thriller “Code Name Verity”) and getting recs from my friends to a random sex worker whose […]
Pod Stalking
If I Disappear by Eliza Jane Brazier
Read as part of CBR14 Bingo: Shadow. The main character shadows around her favorite podcaster who may-or-may-not be dead, looking to see if she can figure out the cause of her sudden disappearance. With the release of Adnan Syed from prison, I’ve been wondering if the podcast Serial did more harm than good. While it brought Adnan’s case to the forefront of the nation’s psyche, it was really Rabia Chaudry who did the legal heavy lifting to free him. And since season one of Serial ended, it’s spawned an infinite amount […]
