A meh romance for the beginning of 2018

January 22, 2018 by FakePoppy 3 Comments

Let’s start this Cannonball and my first review with a romance! After being a lurker for two years, I think it is time for me to payback for all the awesome reviews and reviewers on this website, all the while raising funds for a great cause. Please bear with me and all my grammar and vocabulary mistakes, I am still learning English, writing is much harder than listening to. Any correction about my grammar or wording is welcomed. I came through this book thanks to […]

My most reread book: Christmas time with a dumb angel in California – hijinks ensue

December 12, 2017 by cheerbrarian Leave a Comment

And this is now my 6th read of this funny little book! I missed last year due to moving, and thought maybe I didn’t want to read it again, as this is by far the most I have ever reread one book. But, with the holidays in a place with actual winter, I longed for something a little tropical. This time I changed it up and did the audio version and I HIGHLY recommend it! Sometimes an audio version will detract from a book, or […]

Apparently Santa leaves the ass-kicking to his wife

December 10, 2017 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

So, this is the second time I’ve received an ARC and am reading and posting my review after the publication date.  Oops.  To be fair, I kept looking for this one in my email, but I somehow missed it.  But then I found it, so here we go! Mrs. Claus: Not the Fairy Tale They Say is an anthology of short stories all about Mrs. Claus.  So, perfect for the holiday season!  Rhonda Parrish was inspired by an ad she saw about a non-traditional Mrs. […]

The stupidity we need right now, but maybe not the stupidity we deserve

February 13, 2017 by Lindzgrl Leave a Comment

So, arguably not the timeliest of reads, considering this is a Christmas-themed novel and it’s February. But there’s no way I’m going to remember to review this come December, and it’s not my fault I read it in February. I can only read what the audiobook people send to me when they do; and despite how I order my list, they seem determined to fulfill it on their own whim!   However, despite it being unseasonable, this book is so great it doesn’t matter. If […]

A Classic Christmas Tale

December 25, 2016 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Would you judge me if I said I hadn’t read A Christmas Carol until this December?  And I’m an English teacher!   Luckily the student-lead book club at my school decided they wanted to make sure they had read this Christmas classic before they went off to college.  I’m glad they made this selection because it was certainly time for me to get my feet wet with this classic. This review is hard to write. What’s there really to say about one of the most well-known […]
