by Leave a Comment

I love photojournalism a lot and so have collected the majority of this series. These books came out from the mid 1970s until the early 2000s, and the Best of Photojournalism contest still goes on although they seem not to do the physical books anymore. This 15th volume covers the 1989 competition, … [Read more]

A Cannonballer Fav

The Governess Affair: A Novella by Courtney Milan

by 4 Comments

CBR15Passport Genre Romance I knew when I saw the “genre” category on the CBR15Passport that I wanted to have romance in there.

The Border by Don Winslow

Someone I follow on Instagram did a "What are you reading this weekend?" post. I responded with this book. The person replied: "I've never read Don Winslow but I've heard good things." Hmm.

“I know you cannot be swept away from sanity by a popular movement which has so much that is bad about it, no matter how strong it may be.”

Address Unknown by Kathrine Kressman Taylor

A very slim but powerful read that I really enjoyed. This was a Christmas gift/recommendation from my mom, and I'm glad she did gift it to me, as it's right up my alley of related interests. This book especially struck me because it was published before the war began in 1938, but it is so prescient … [Read more]

I just want to find Arthur Less and give him a big hug

Less by Andrew Sean Greer

Less is Lost by Andrew Sean Greer

by Leave a Comment

When I received a copy of Less is Lost, the follow-up to the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel I so enjoyed in 2018, I wanted to start reading immediately. But I also wanted  to reread Less, to see whether it would still delight me as much as I remembered. I summoned some self-control and started at the … [Read more]
