Jeverett15’s review of The Running Man reminded me that Richard Dawson used to be a big part of my after school TV watching – Hogan’s Heroes followed by Family Feud. Thinking about Richard Dawson the game show host made me think about games, which made me think about CBR Diversions which led me to the ever popular game on Twitter, Caption This. It’s perfect for snark and silliness. We never take a break from books around here, but sometimes we have fun with them. For […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: getoffmylawnn
How many times have you participated in Cannonball Read? Has it changed the way you read? I’ve been involved from CBR 10, probably a bit earlier by just reading all the reviews, but this was the first one I participated in and wrote reviews for! It has certainly changed the way I read a book; keeping in mind what I would like other readers to know about the things I liked reading in it, and making notes or highlighting certain sections (in e-books only) that stayed […]
Midyear 2020 Stats!
Ain’t no party, like a hurricane party ’cause a hurricane party don’t…Yeah, I’m not having a hurricane party. I put the kids to bed, filled my tummy with Wendy’s, and am watching fail videos on Youtube. Close enough, I guess. All is good here (though my kids’ trampoline was ripped from its anchors and rolled over by the wind. The safety netting was damaged, but I was able to force it back into a reasonably normal position). Anyway…This stats update is through the first week […]

I’d be […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Aquillia
Which imaginary kingdom would you most like to visit? Teenage-me says “Rohan!” without hesitation. If I’m being honest, adult-me would probably be more at home in the Shire. Adult-me also thinks the Vale of Arryn sounds gorgeous, even though the GOT/ASOIAF world in general might not be a fun experience! What do you write? Will CBR fantasy fans ever get to read an Aquillia original? I hope they will be able to someday; fingers crossed! I write fairly traditional fantasy — secondary world, largely medieval-Europe-based, […]
