Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Travis_J_Smith
How many times have you participated in CBR? Has it changed the way you read? Hm, per Cannonball Read itself, this is my 4th time participating. But, per me, I’d say this is really only my second proper go of it. I don’t know if it was something akin to burnout after setting a record (at the time) for most books, which could’ve been higher had I not fallen so behind on the review part of the equation, or if it was just a more […]
CBR Diversions – Tell Us Your Favorite True Story
I’m in a non-fiction kind of mood right now. Spring has sprung and as the days get longer and the news gets well, you know, I’m craving knowledge. I love books that help me connect the dots. I’m reading Hannah Gadsby’s truly excellent memoir, Ten Steps to Nanette. Along with writing about her childhood, she adds in breaks to give the historical and cultural context that she wasn’t aware of as a child, but internalized anyway. I’m also reading Rachel Maddow’s Blowout, which is also […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Pooja

Finally she got very fed up and sat […]
CBR Diversions – My Love Language is Books

My ideal gift to receive is money so that I can buy more books. My ideal gift to give is a book. If you want to kidnap me, tell me you are taking me to where the books are, and I will follow. At Cannonball Read, we share a love of books and […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: auntadadoom
You were a previous Cannonballer, right? Welcome back! How many Cannonballs have you participated in? This is my second Cannonball, after a looooong break since my first one. I didn’t hit my first one, but I read >100 books last year without the review part, so I’m feeling good about making it this time! You’re going to be stranded on an island and can only pick one genre/author’s books to take with you. What/who do you pick? Does “farce” count as a genre? If I […]
