How many times have you participated in CBR? I started with CBR4! So this is my 6th year, which is hard to believe. Time flies when you’re reading. I used to see Pajiba posts in my FB feed and especially enjoyed the book reviews. I thought it would be good for me to write about the books I read because I’d seen an article about warding off dementia by keeping your brain active with reading and writing. So far so good!

Quick Questions with …Myself?
To kick off Cannonball Read 9, our newsletter maven, Bothari43, interviewed me as the first Q&A of the year. How did you become Coordinator of Cannonball Read? Did you start out as a participant? Cannonball Read 2 was my first time as a participant – here’s my first review! At the end of CBR3, Tamatha asked me to take over running CBR4.
