I love to read. I'm usually reading at least 3 books at a time. They're not all good... some are really bad. I have trouble not finishing books though. Now CBR has doubled down on that trouble, because I want to get credit for reading the bad ones too!

Wolves rule

Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy

by Leave a Comment

My sister’s sister in law gave her this book to read, and then she recommended it to me. They read the hardcover version, but I totally recommend the audiobook version. The narrator is Australian, as is the main character. I think I’m a total sucker for a good accent, especially in a narrator. Anyway, let us start with some trigger warnings. There are animal deaths in this book. Going into a book about wolves, I knew that there would probably be some carnage. I asked […]

This book really made me not give a F*ck

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson

by 5 Comments

I’m not sure what got me to read this book, but apparently something enticed me. I think I liked the idea of not being positive all the time. I have a tendency to be relentlessly positive. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn’t. I’m not sure if my problem was the narrator, or the words, but I was frequently annoyed by this book. I think one of my issues was the gratuitous F bombs. Like obviously by the title, there will be F*cks. I have […]

The second Dune book isn’t as good as the first

Dune Messiah (Dune #2) by Frank Herbert

by Leave a Comment

Ok maybe that title is a little provocative. After I loved Dune so much, I was excited about the second Dune book. I’m not sure if I’m just not smart enough, or what, but I did not enjoy this nearly as much as the first Dune. I think we all fell in love with Paul Atreides / Muad’Dib in Dune as he’s built up throughout the book. Then in Messiah Mr. Herbert wanted to make us all dislike him? Paul has been Emperor for about […]

An Agatha Christie intro

The Mysterious Affair at Styles (Hercule Poirot #1) by Agatha Christie

by Leave a Comment

I’ve definitely read at least one or two of Agatha Christie’s books before. I’ve also seen a few movies of her books. The Mysterious Affair at Styles is the first Hercule Poirot novel.  I thought it was interesting to “meet” Poirot in his first novel after already seeing him portrayed in a few movies. I pictured Kenneth Branagh, but I guess a younger version while reading this book.  We start with a murder mystery at Styles, which some rich lady’s house. We meet her and […]

Recommended by my BFF who knows I need a lot of action in my romancey novels

A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses #1) by Sarah J. Maas

by Leave a Comment

This is apparently a hot new series. I had no idea when my friend recommended it to me. I tried to borrow this first book from the library and found a whole bunch of people waiting in front of me. I was excited when I finally got it though! It actually took me a while to get into it though. We meet the main character Feyre hunting in the woods. That part I was OK with. She seemed to hunt with honor and needed the […]

Ooh boy. I wanted to love this so much, but it made me very angry.

When Women Were Dragons by Kelley Barnhill

by 7 Comments

I think this is my first ever Cannonball book that I DID NOT FINISH.  I saw this book somewhere (I legit have no idea where), and it caught my eye because the main character is named Alex Green, and also duh – dragons.  My cousin who lives in Arizona who just left Pennsylvania after visiting our entire family is named Alex Green.  I was pumped when I read the plot too. Whoo boy.  I borrowed this audiobook from the library, and I was so excited […]
