2017 might have been a craptacular year in many regards, but there’s one thing that was awesome: you. Yes YOU! In total, 123 Cannonballers reviewed 4,146 books. That’s 30% more than last year. We’ve read nearly 25,000 books in AlabamaPink’s name since the beginning of CBR, and we’ve donated $3,000 to the American Cancer Society in her name.
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Halbs
How many times have you participated in CBR? Has it changed the way you read? CBR10 is my fourth go-round. Participating has definitely changed the way that I read!

Not everything in this dumpster fire of a year was bad, there were good books too. Check out our article on Pajiba of the best and worst books you read this year.
Which Amanda? THIS Amanda!
I must admit that when I received my Book Exchange gift, I had to check with faintingviolet to see just which Amanda had sent it! I remembered from November’s Cannon Fodder newsletter that there are FIVE Amandas signed up for CBR9! Never fear though, her CBR handle was right there in front of me: thank you Amanda!
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Emmalita
How many times have you participated in CBR? Has it changed the way you read? This is my 5th year. I think I read both more thoughtfully and with less anxiety. My first year, I was anxious and writing reviews as if they would be graded. That influenced the books I chose and the way I read them.
