It would be pretty hard to not have heard of T Kingfisher. With her March release of Wolf Worm, she has been everywhere lately, including a wonderful interview in the NY Times. She is a prolific writer, in recent years releasing three adult titles a year. Kingfisher is an alias for the multitalented Ursula Vernon, who pens middle grade graphic novels. She claims somebody told her when looking for a penname always choice a bird, thus T Kingfisher was born. Let me start by talking […]
CBR Diversion – Don’t Know Much About History!
I have always loved reading historical fiction. I learn so much about various people, times, events, and places in history. I will occasionally read a really good non-fiction history book (especially non-fiction that reads like fiction). This year we will continue to have genre based zoom discussions with our first one about historical fiction and non-fiction. Here are some questions to ponder (and comment down below about and talk about on our zoom call!) Do you like your history reading to be fiction or non-fiction? […]

CBR Diversion – Titles on Skis

You could snuggle up in a comfy chair with a cup of tea and a good book, you could binge watch the Olympics, or you can log on to Cannonball Read and come up with some crazy book titles! I vote for the last one. This diversion, I challenge you to “improve” the title of a book […]

CBR Diversion – End of Year Reading Wrap Up
The end of the year is a perfect time for reflection. Let’s reflect on the most important part of your year – the books you read. First, I want to talk about the worst books I read this year. These books were a pain to read, but I did finish them (I am one of those always finish what you start people.) Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White – a read for my YA book group which we all hated, extremely violent story of sociopath […]
