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. (Learn more about this Cannonballer: Debcapsfan's Quick Questions interview.)

One Life

One Life by Megan Rapinoe

by Leave a Comment

Megan Rapinoe has lived an amazing life, and she documents it in a way that it feels like she’s having a conversation with you in her autobiography, One Life. The book goes through her childhood, learning to play soccer, going to college, making the US Women’s Junior and then National teams, and then kicking butt and winning the World Cup. She also talks about her decision to kneel before games while the Anthem plays. What I love about her (I tried to lobby to get […]

This Could Have Been SO Good

One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London

by Leave a Comment

So the book blurb reads like this: Bea Schumacher is a devastatingly stylish plus-size fashion blogger who has amazing friends, a devoted family, legions of Insta followers—and a massively broken heart. Like the rest of America, Bea indulges in her weekly obsession: the hit reality show Main Squeeze. The fantasy dates! The kiss-off rejections! The surprising amount of guys named Chad! But Bea is sick and tired of the lack of body diversity on the show. Since when is being a size zero a prerequisite for […]

Damn the Man

Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey

by 1 Comment

I listened to Sarah Gailey’s Magic for Liars last year and enjoyed it, but this was even better. Upright Women Wanted is set in a Wild West style world from the future, where a continuous war has torn the country apart and men dominate society. Information, the tool we use to grow and learn and resist, is tightly controlled with approved materials from the Librarians. The goal for this society is to keep people uneducated and very carefully educated. At the start of the story, […]

A sweet romance with a slow build

Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin

by Leave a Comment

CBR Square- Violet Ayesha At Last is a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in a Muslim community in Toronto. Ayesha is a teacher but wants to be a poet and travel the world, and Khalid is a more conservative Muslim who wants his mother to arrange his marriage. It is a story about the experiences of immigrants, traditions competing with modern society, and a hero who learns that he can keep his identity and the things that he feels are important while also […]

A spectacular debut YA novel

Color Me In by Natasha Diaz

by 1 Comment

I really loved Color Me In, it was outstanding. It is hard for me to believe this is Natasha Diaz’s debut novel. Color Me In tells the story of Nevaeh Levitz, a black Jewish girl whose parents separate and who moves in with her mother’s family in Harlem. I found this book from a tweet of a friend who retweeted the author. While I can’t comment on perspective of someone who is coming to terms with their racial identity, I can certainly comment from the […]

Don’t you cry no more

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

by Leave a Comment

CBR Square: Yellow After the events of Carry On, Simon Snow has saved the day! And lost his magic, spending his days like any student who suddenly has no job, no plan, and no life meaning; sleeping on the couch. So, he’s wallowing, but he has good reason to wallow. When his best friend, Penny, uses visiting his ex, Agatha, as an excuse to road trip across the country, Simon and his vampire boyfriend Baz set off for America together. Somehow no one understands American […]
