A Summer Cordial

Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury

April 28, 2023 by MsWas 4 Comments

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 […]

Wrapping up CBR14

January 27, 2023 by MsWas Leave a Comment

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. To think all this began as a friendly wager on a pop culture site between a couple of Pajibans–AlabamaPink and Prisco! We’ve read over 27,000 different titles and written more than 49,000 book reviews. I’m in awe every day at what folks are writing…  Read the full wrap-up at Pajiba.com […]

Our Latest Donations to the American Cancer Society

December 30, 2022 by MsWas 5 Comments

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 […]
