Cannonball Read 17

Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time

There was no other way I could go with the Self Care BINGO square than by reviewing a fanfic. #CBRBINGO – Self Care

Dan Westchester, Hello Kitty Enthusiast by violue

Link to the story on AO3: Dan Westchester, Hello Kitty Enthusiast Firstly, if you are not familiar with fanfic (which I hope is not many of you, because it is a true pleasure to indulge in) many fics have individual titles but are part of a series that also has a title. I’ve used the series title for this one, Dan Westchester, Hello Kitty Enthusiast, because it makes me laugh, and because I honestly think it’s a better title than part one of the fic, […]

I Loved This One Unabashedly and Hope You Do Too

All the Feels by Olivia Dade

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All the Feels publishes November 16th, 2021 (originally scheduled for October 26th, 2021.) Last year I read and loved Spoiler Alert and was excited to see that there would be another book in the universe. All the Feels takes everything I loved about the first book and deepens it, makes it stronger and better. All the Feels is very likely going to make it into my top three books of […]

Didn’t work for me, but I think that’s my problem.

Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade

I needed a break from The Wheel of Time. I know Olivia Dade has been getting a lot of reviews over the last year, so I thought I’d give this one a shot. I told my wife about the book, and she downloaded it from Audible. I’ve had a few semi-successful forays into the world of romantic novels, and I haven’t really found them to my liking. Some I’ve really liked, others have left me reeling with indifference. I think, generally, I tend to fall […]

Harry Potter punches Loki in the face

On Punching Gods and Absentee Dads by Enigmaris

  This is a review of a straight-up crossover fanfiction, so beware, all ye who enter here! As you can probably guess from the title, this is a Harry Potter/Avengers crossover.  Now, I read a lot of fanfiction, and I go through them fairly quickly.  I’m not in the habit of writing reviews on the actual works, let alone 250+ words on Cannonball (I know, bad habit).  But this one deserves it!  (Also, it’s not smutty!) After the death of Sirius, Harry receives a delayed […]

A Modern Poldark AU Fanfiction, because why not?

The Distance Between Us by Lucretiassister

Welcome to my first ever review of fanfiction, are we ready? We’ll try to be, certainly. I read a lot of short form works this year (my AO3 history tells me somewhere in the neighborhood of 600, certainly not all of it good) and I don’t really think I’ll be reviewing any of those, but I am going to review a novel length work that I’ve been following along with since March. I had mentioned in my review of Spoiler Alert, a book where fanfiction […]

The cover artist more than earned her money on this one. Also I need to buy a copy and read it again.

Thanks to Netgalley and Avon for the Advanced Reader’s Copy. It hasn’t affected the content of my review. Oh boy, I was so excited when I learned the Brienne/Jaime fandom from Game of Thrones was the main inspiration behind this book. I was already excited about a book centered on a fanfic writer who unbeknownst to her has become good friends with the actor who plays her fictional muse, because he writes fic too, and that just put me over the edge. In hindsight, I […]
