Dear Cannonballer…

August 4, 2020 by MsWas 6 Comments

First, I want to extend my sincere wishes that you and yours are healthy and doing well during the pandemic.

If you’ve started books and didn’t finish, I get that too. If you’ve read a bunch but haven’t been reviewing, welcome to the club,it’s a big one with a lot of fabulous members. It’s really ok.

They danced by the light of the moon

The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear

April 2, 2020 by MsWas 1 Comment

It’s International Children’s Book Day! Are you reading stories to young kids or wishing someone would read to you? To honor this holiday, which celebrate the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen, I’ve recorded a video of me reading a pop-up children’s book of the poem The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear.   https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-er1teAHjr/ I’ve read this book hundreds of times over the years, and the last page always gives me a thrill, “And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, they danced […]

CBR12 Has Begun!

January 1, 2020 by MsWas 4 Comments

You can find more detailed information about the website in the Cannonball Read FAQ. If you see any problems or issues with the new site, please let […]
