My husband Jason and I are wonder twin cancer survivors! Sadly, all the radiation did not make us bionic...yet. I've done two quarter Cannonballs successfully now, and this year I'm going for a half.

My cover from the edition I checked out of the library was blue. It appears to hardcover to Hench is red. I’d be interested to know why it’s different. On it is the silhouette is a person, but their shadow has a cape. None of the people in this book are nice people. including the main character, Anna. She starts out working for a temp agency for villains, and a mayor’s son is kidnapped, their some torture, and boom, she gets her leg shattered by […]

The Summer Queen: Eleanor of Aquitaine Trilogy, Book 1 by Elizabeth Chadwick

Cannonball passport- new author Another beautiful cover. People have long been fascinated with the story of Eleanor of Aquitaine, because she held power at a time when women did not.

She also is a bit of a mystery, because while writing at the time speaks to her beauty, there is no portrait of her actual likeness. The Summer Queen takes us from the time when Eleanor is 13 and her father dies and […]

by 1 Comment

Cannonball passport- New author How lovely is that cover? Self-Made Boys is a retelling of the Great Gatsby by Anna-Marie McLemore. I picked this up from the library after it was recommended on the podcast Worst Bestsellers. At the end of the year they do a compilation of the best books they read that year, probably to combat all of the terrible books they read for the podcast. So in this retelling, Jay and Nick are trans. I’m sure this book has been banned or […]

The Rose Code by Kate Quinn tells the story of three women at Bletchley Park. Oslo is a debutante, […]

Two for One Weddings

After the Wedding by Courtney Milan

by 2 Comments

I got After the Wedding from Courtney Milan when I donated to a trans rights charity she was matching donations for. It was very exciting! And it’s signed by her! It’s a Courtney Milan book, so it was a very interesting historical romance, set right after the Civil War. The book takes place in England, Adrian Hunter has a black father and a white mother who sound devoted to each other but are not introduced. Maybe in a future story? Camilla Worth is high society […]
