So, I did a full Grishaverse read in the past few months. I read Six of Crows a few months ago, and my review is on my profile earlier in this Cannonball. I was so excited that there were so many more books in this universe! Six of Crows #2: Crooked Kingdom is the second book in the Six of … [Read more]

Entrapment

Entrapment is a surprisingly fun Novel from one of Pajiba’s own

Entrapment by Jeff Stephens

September 24, 2026 by MegsDarcy 1 Comment

Well… I clearly need to stop thinking “I’ll just read a few chapters before bed” because apparently I have learned nothing. I received the book as an ARC after work and read it until I was finished well into the night. If you enjoy thrillers with complicated women, workplace drama, morally messy … [Read more]

The Skull by Jon Klassen

The Skull by Jon Klassen

September 24, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

This was the cutest children's book. I have this in hardcover and the fonts/illustrations were top notch and really drew me in. I loved the tale of Otilla and how she came to find a big house with a skull in it. We know she's running from something more dangerous than this and she's very very brave. … [Read more]

The Invisible Roommate

The pros and cons of disappearing from the world

The Invisible Roommate by Timothy Janovsky

September 24, 2026 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I have enjoyed almost everything Timothy Janovsky has written, and I’ve enjoyed watching him grow as a writer. Janovsky has always honored the deep and serious feelings aspects of his characters while leaning into the comedic elements of the plot. In The Invisible Roomate, Janovsky lightens the mood … [Read more]

Should we all be a little more social?

A Little More Social by Nicholas Epley

September 24, 2026 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

I read MOST of this book. I was probably about halfway through and my loan ran out. So... I may have cheated a little bit and speed read through the last few chapters. I feel like you get enough of the jist in the first half though. The premise is: We think random stranger interactions will be … [Read more]

The Thursday Murder Club is Back!!

The Impossible Fortune (Thursday Murder Club #5) by Richard Osman

September 24, 2026 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

I don't know if it says something about me, or something about Richard Osman, but I find these "murder club" books immensely comforting. I read the first four and I didn't even know there was a new book out until I saw it on Audible. It was the correct choice to listen to the audiobook too, because … [Read more]

    Woooo Cannonball. And on such a great book! The show was good, but felt pretty different to the book tone-wise,...

    on King of the Pirates or something like that
    Well the joke about One Piece is that it gets good at around chapter 100. And the punchline is that...
