Hi, Tracy! Thank you so much for agreeing to participate in Quick Questions with a Cannonballer. You’ve been a member of the Cannonball Read community for several years. Would you mind sharing a little bit about yourself and how you found us? Ok, a little about me: I grew up in Maryland and I was one of those horse crazy girls. I took riding lessons and read all the horse books I could get my hands on. After grad school (for clinical psychology), I moved […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Denesteak shares Southeast Asia
Denesteak! You’ve participated in Cannonball Read off and on almost since the very beginning. We’re so glad you’re back with us for CBR17. Would you share a little about how you came to be a part of the CBR community and what your screen name means? I’ve been part of the Pajiba community since the early 2000s, and I remember AlabamaPink fondly in the comment section, as well as Prisco. I joined CBR2 because I thought it would be a nice way to honor her […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: CoffeeShopReader
Do you have a favorite genre and, if so, what is it? Can I have 2-ish? First up would have to be sci-fi/fantasy/speculative. I know that’s not exactly a single genre, but some of my favorites really do end up combining, like the Checquy Files (?although the third says the series is now the Rook Files) series, most anything non-horror by P. Djeli Clark, and Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series (I’ve read the whole thing), I’ve also been drifting slightly towards the cozy side of things, such […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Jenna
Your bio says your favorite genre is “takes place in an old hotel.” I love the specificity of that! Do you have a favorite “old hotel” book, or one that you think best represents the genre? I think anything Agatha Christie wrote set in a hotel or boarding house (most recently, I read N or M?) exemplifies what I love about hotel stories. There are always secret nooks and crannies, everyone knows more than they let on, and time is always of the essence because […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: The Book Omnivore
So you’re a “running nerd?” Do you listen to audio books while you dash up mountains? No, not when I dash up mountains 😁 but late autumn and winter here are usually cold and very dark, so during those months I need all the motivation I can get to go out and run. And audio books provide me with motivation and a well-needed distraction from the weather. I’ll never forget running in a dark forest last winter, with only my head torch for a light, in the […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: postcardsandbooks
You seem to read a wide variety of genres! If you could only pick one genre to read the rest of your life (let’s say a Kindle glitch while you’re on a space station/desert island type scenario), which would it be? Oh, God! What kind of cruel and unusual punishment is this? I want to read it all!!? I’ll be honest with you, I read so many different genres because I realised a couple of years ago that I don’t actually know what I like […]
