CBR Diversion – Don’t Know Much About History!

March 1, 2026 by jomidi 17 Comments

I have always loved reading historical fiction. I learn so much about various people, times, events, and places in history. I will occasionally read a really good non-fiction history book (especially non-fiction that reads like fiction). This year we will continue to have genre based zoom discussions with our first one about historical fiction and non-fiction. Here are some questions to ponder (and comment down below about and talk about on our zoom call!) Do you like your history reading to be fiction or non-fiction? […]

CBR Diversion – Titles on Skis

February 1, 2026 by jomidi 17 Comments

It is cold and snowy (at least where I live) and that stupid rodent predicted 6 more weeks of this. What can you do to combat this darkness? You could snuggle up in a comfy chair with a cup of tea and a good book, you could binge watch the Olympics, or you can log on to Cannonball Read and come up with some crazy book titles! I vote for the last one. This diversion, I challenge you to “improve” the title of a book […]

    I relate to this so much! It’s really interesting to think how perfectionism can lead to inaction.
