How about so close you could finish each other’s lives? Etta and Otto and Russell and James is […]
Post-apocalyptic ice trucker romance. Yup, that’s a thing
In a post-apocalyptic future, most people live in the icy wastes of what used to be Siberia.

Raina needs to deliver a shipment of grain to one of the major settlements, but needs forged documentation to drive on the ice road. Wizard, the man who was supposed to meet her with said documentation, instead gets […]
In which I compare a lovely YA writer to the master of horror. In a good way.
A few Cannonballs ago (CBR 4?), I went (OK, I tore) through a massive Sarah Dessen phase. I read every single one of her books and pretty much loved them all. And I wondered to myself, hey, where are all of the other Sarah Dessen lovers? Why aren’t my Cannonball protégés reading these books? They would love these books!

What he has in abundance in the IQ department, he lacks in social smarts, and as his closest friend, it seems to be Rachel’s job to try to keep him out of scrapes with other students at school (who he will frequently inadvertently or purposefully insult) or from getting suspended for breaking school rules. She also tends to bring him food, as he has a […]
