Since I’ve been moderating the Cannonball Read these three last years, I don’t usually have the time or inclination to write a review of anything I read, but after finishing Son of a Gun by Justin St. Germain, I’m compelled to write about this book and tell you all to READ IT. On first glance, this slim volume of a memoir doesn’t seem very substantial. I’m really not sure why I picked it up off the new book shelf at the library, though the solemn-face little boy […]

Welcome to Cannonball Read 6
This is the sixth Cannonball Read (CBR) honoring Amanda “AlabamaPink” Amos, our fierce warrior queen who lost her battle with cancer in 2009. She was a true Pajiban, filled with eloquence and sass.
