I’ve been gone for a bit (no books read or reviewed in all of May), but I found my reading mojo once again. All I needed was a little break, and a kick start with a book very likely to be right up my alley. The Lawrence Browne Affair is the second in a series by Cat Sebastian. Like The Soldier’s Scoundrel, it is a historical m/m romance set in Regency England. This time around we’re following Georgie Turner, brother of Jack from The Soldier’s Scoundrel, as he is on the […]
Discussion Topics: Kindred
Book Club Discussion is Today, June 8-9! Visit our Discussion Post and speak your mind! Our second #CannonBookClub of 2018 on June 8 and 9 is Kindred by Octavia Butler as our first of two Anniversary Reads. Kindred is an historically highly rated and reviewed book for Cannonballers: in the ten years of Cannonball Read we’ve had eleven reviews of Kindred with a Cannonballer average rating of 4.64, which is only 0.16 away from our highest rated book of all-time. It’s time to get thinking about […]
Lin-Manuel Miranda and I recommend this collection
I struggle with poetry. Reading it never has the same effect as listening to it, even when I read it aloud to myself. But, since April is National Poetry Month I thought I’d give it another shot. In an example of past me having current me’s back, one of the books I picked out for last year’s Read Harder challenge that I never got to was No Matter the Wreckage by Sarah Kay and it is a book of poems. I don’t know how I […]
Only 6 out of every 1,000 sexual assault perpetrators will end up in prison.
Rape culture is real. But that doesn’t make me want to face it any more than I already have to in my life. I have had this book on my to read list since it was published in 2015.However I didn’t read it then, instead I picked up Into Thin Air to get a taste of Krakauer’s style before jumping into the deep end so to speak. I have comments across many Cannonball Read reviews of this book saying that I’m going to tackle it […]
“For all the girls who walk and read at the same time.”
Another week, another Tessa Dare book review. As I mentioned last review of The Duchess Deal, I love Tessa Dare books so it shouldn’t be all that surprising that I went ahead and picked up where I left off with A Week to be Wicked once I retrieved it. My quick review of this one is another five star Dare outing, these two back to back really highlight the parts of Dare’s craft that make these the fun, enjoyable, and downright witty reads I’ve come […]
“Emma Gladstone had learned a few hard lessons by the age of two-and-twenty. Charming princes weren’t always what they seemed. Shining armor went out of fashion with the Crusades. And if fairy godmothers existed, hers was running several years late. Most of the time, a girl needed to rescue herself.”
I did some traveling over the Easter holiday weekend and left the Tessa Dare book I was reading the week before at Ale’s house post snow storm (p.s., she is on reviewing fire lately!). Not a problem – I have a nook full of other books in need of reading so I went ahead and pulled up another Dare, The Duchess Deal. I had this one lined up and ready to go for two reasons: 1. I really love Tessa Dare books, and 2. this […]
