CBR Diversions – Beach Reads and GIFs Galore

June 24, 2022 by MsWas 20 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I definitely need a diversion at the moment, so let’s do as we always do—turn to books. Specifically, the beach read.  You know the ones, the rereads or new reads that don’t require much effort to pay attention to, the ones that you can pick up and put down as you nap (or drink) by the pool or shore. What books are coming out this summer that you are waiting for with bated breath? Who’s got a pre-order of Carrie […]

CBR Diversions – Tell Us Your Favorite True Story

March 25, 2022 by Emmalita 65 Comments

I’m in a non-fiction kind of mood right now. Spring has sprung and as the days get longer and the news gets well, you know, I’m craving knowledge. I love books that help me connect the dots. I’m reading Hannah Gadsby’s truly excellent memoir, Ten Steps to Nanette. Along with writing about her childhood, she adds in breaks to give the historical and cultural context that she wasn’t aware of as a child, but internalized anyway. I’m also reading Rachel Maddow’s Blowout, which is also […]

CBR Diversions – My Love Language is Books

February 14, 2022 by Emmalita 23 Comments

I fall in love every day…with books. I fall in love with characters. I fall in love with authors. I fall in love with other readers when we are talking about books. My ideal gift to receive is money so that I can buy more books. My ideal gift to give is a book. If you want to kidnap me, tell me you are taking me to where the books are, and I will follow. At Cannonball Read, we share a love of books and […]

CBR Diversions – So How’d It Go In There?

December 9, 2021 by Emmalita 113 Comments

In another shocking turn of events, 2021 is almost over. That means it is time to start thinking about the end of CBR13. There is more to the year than just your best and worst reads (did you get those in to MsWas?). How did your year go? Did you get in some good reading? Did you write the reviews you wanted to write? Did a theme emerge? What surprised you? Is there still stuff you want to do before CBR13 ends? I’ll put my […]

CBR Diversions – Books Are the Best Gifts

October 21, 2021 by Emmalita 27 Comments

We are coming up on the most wonderful time of the year—Cannonball Read Holiday Book Exchange—when Cannonballers sign up to be matched with other Cannonballers and send books to each other (completely volutarily). I’ve participated a few times. My favorite part is picking books for my giftee, and my other favorite part is getting books from my gifter.   This year, because of supply chain issues and shipping delays, Book Exchange sign up is going to start earlier than usual. Keep an eye out for […]
