Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury
I did it! I completed reading the book that had been on my Goodreads “Want to Read” list longest. I don’t really remember adding Dandelion Wine on June 14, 2010. I added that along with 32 other books in a liking frenzy. (See my full list from that day at the bottom.) I probably was reading a list of books to make sure you’ve read by the time you were 45. I’ve only read 4 of them, but I’ve read Good Omens twice. Let’s call […]
I’m happy to announce our first donation of the year! We donated $150 to the American Cancer Society, bringing our total donated to $10,850. Many thanks to all of our recent supporters! You too can help us kick cancer’s butt! Please make your donation via Paypal, or donate to @cannonball-read at Venmo. If your employer participates in matching donations, please contact us to coordinate.
Cannonball Read, Inc. became an official 501(c)(3) organization in 2022, and not only that, we topped that milestone by reaching, and then exceeding, the $10,000 mark in our total donations to the American Cancer Society.

Friends, I post today to announce our latest donation of $700 to the American Cancer Society. I must admit that it’s bittersweet to write about the good news of the donation right along with the sad news of who we honor. Jennie Baxla (baxlala) was a Cannonballer from the very beginning, and we made a donation in her memory today. You can still read her wonderful reviews and add her book recommendations to your own TBR list. We welcome In Memoriam donations if you would […]
