CBR8 has now ended. Please don’t post any more reviews towards your final tally. At 3:00 p.m. EST, this site will enter maintenance mode, and you won’t be able to access it until tomorrow. Any posts that haven’t been added to the group blog at this point may be added for CBR9. You did register, right? Stay tuned for CBR9! Tomorrow, after the behind the scenes tinkering is done, you will see a beginning post and receive an email that CBR9 has begun, and then […]
Sixth CBR8 Donation to American Cancer Society
To close out the year, I’m so happy to tell you that we’ve made another donation, in the amount of $200, to the American Cancer Society in AlabamaPink’s name. I’m also pleased to note that our donation today was doubled, due to a group of generous donors to the American Cancer Society who have issued a challenge: They will match every gift made before midnight tonight, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000. So our donation was doubled, to make $400. That brings our group total for the year […]
You have a little more time!
Due to a scheduling conflict, the deadline to add posts today has been extended until 2:00 p.m. EST today. Watch for another post and an email from me saying the deadline has passed later today. Until then, go, go, GO!
Don’t Forget!
It’s a busy time of year, so here’s a short to-do list to make sure you get everything done: Post all of your reviews and update your CBR8 leaderboard total before it ends at noon (EST) on New Year’s Eve. Register for CBR9. Send Mswas (by email or web) your 3 best books and 1 worst reviewed this year (WITH LINKS PLEASE) by December 22. It’s that easy! Thanks for supporting Cannonball Read this year. We’ve got some even bigger plans for number NINE. Please […]
Life is too short to read shitty books
But sometimes you did. And we loved it! You know it, the worst books often make The. Best. Reviews. (And trigger warnings.) I bet you have one particular book in mind, right? That piece of crap you struggled through so you could write your review, is it still in the corner where it landed after being hurled from your sight? Or did it go out in the trash? Why couldn’t that book be more like that other book? You know the one, the one you luuuuuurve. […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: bonnie
(This is Cannonballer bonnie, not MsWas Bonnie. She’s got 128 reviews so far!) How many times have you participated in CBR? This is my fourth CBR (I started with CBR5). I’ve actually been a lurker on Pajiba for the last ten years (I read a lot of the posts, but my commenting is infrequent at best) so I remember CBR1 between Prisco and AlabamaPink. Though she and I never had any interaction, I was devastated to learn of her death. I always enjoyed the CBR […]
