Don’t Forget!

December 20, 2016 by MsWas 1 Comment

It’s  a busy time of year, so here’s a short to-do list to make sure you get everything done: Post all of your reviews and update your CBR8 leaderboard total before it ends at noon (EST) on New Year’s Eve. Register for CBR9. Send Mswas (by email or web) your 3 best books and 1 worst reviewed this year (WITH LINKS PLEASE) by December 22. It’s that easy! Thanks for supporting Cannonball Read this year. We’ve got some even bigger plans for number NINE. Please […]

Life is too short to read shitty books

December 17, 2016 by MsWas Leave a Comment

But sometimes you did. And we loved it! You know it, the worst books often make The. Best. Reviews. (And trigger warnings.) I bet you have one particular book in mind, right? That piece of crap you struggled through so you could write your review, is it still in the corner where it landed after being hurled from your sight? Or did it go out in the trash? Why couldn’t that book be more like that other book? You know the one, the one you luuuuuurve. […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: bonnie

December 15, 2016 by MsWas 16 Comments

(This is Cannonballer bonnie, not MsWas Bonnie. She’s got 128 reviews so far!) How many times have you participated in CBR? This is my fourth CBR (I started with CBR5). I’ve actually been a lurker on Pajiba for the last ten years (I read a lot of the posts, but my commenting is infrequent at best) so I remember CBR1 between Prisco and AlabamaPink. Though she and I never had any interaction, I was devastated to learn of her death. I always enjoyed the CBR […]

Help Make This Year’s Donation Even Bigger

November 29, 2016 by MsWas Leave a Comment

It’s #GivingTuesday, a day where we can recover from all the crazy spending and shopping after Thanksgiving and see where we can give back and make a difference. Normally at this time of year, I’d ask for help to keep this place running. But thanks to a donation in September from Eric and Tamara Yollick, our website hosting has been paid for through Cannonball Read 9! This is what the message with their donation said: We enjoy reading the reviews on your site. We have […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Malin

November 17, 2016 by MsWas 11 Comments

How many times have you participated in CBR? I’ve actually taken part since the start of November 2009, right when Cannonball Read II started. Back then the goal was to read 100 books, and checking back through my blog, I reached that goal by the end of October. I think I may be one of the participants who have kept going the longest, but it wasn’t until Cannonball Read III that I actually started reviewing absolutely every book I read. By then I’d realised that […]
