Highly enjoyable and very cute

Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert

January 22, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

CBR15 Passport Challenge: Books from different countries (the UK) Celine Bangura and Bradley “Brad” Graeme used to be best friends until Brad callously decided to ditch Celine and get with the popular crowd (this is Celine’s interpretation of past events, anyway). Now, every time they are near each other, they trade insults or compete academically. Their mothers are still best friends, though, which means they keep hearing glowing accounts of any accomplishment the other has achieved. One of Celine’s dreams is to become a lawyer, […]

“Sometimes Paris felt his whole life was in slow motion with ominous music playing over it.”

Paris Daillencourt is About to Crumble (Winner Bakes All, #2) by Alexis Hall

December 30, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

I don’t think this is a book anybody but Alexis Hall could have pulled off. This is a romance and a book about a baking competition, yes, but it’s also a book about a person with severe anxiety, and what that anxiety does to his relationships with the people around him. Paris isn’t an easy character to like, and his story isn’t an easy ride. But it was worth it! Paris Daillencourt ends up on Bake Expectations because his flatmate secretly put him up for […]

Not so much Sunshine-Grumpy as Sunshine-Sad

Her Unexpected Roommate by Jackie Lau

October 13, 2022 by Malin 4 Comments

CBR14 Bingo: Elephant (the elephant in the room very much being Rose’s depression) CW: mental illness, death of a parent from suicide (in the past) Disclaimer! This was an ARC from the author. My opinions are my own. Rose has treatment-resistant depression but nevertheless manages her job as an electrical engineer with the support of her therapist, her friends, and her collection of plush animals. Having watched all of her friends couple up, she’s feeling rather lonely and sad, but rather than stay home and […]

The author might be hiding away in Donegal, but these books are not!

The Deepest Breath by Meg Grehan

The Space Between by Meg Grehan

August 8, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Meg Grehan came on my radar recently with Baby Teeth. I was intrigued for many reasons; I had read another book titled Baby Teeth and wondering how it compared. I was interested as the cover was romantic, old fashioned, but screamed modern. The colors were both perfect and overly done at first glance. And finally, it was a novel in verse, and I am always curious to see if they read as poetry or flow as a novel. And while it was not my OMG […]

Quick Pandemic Lit Rec for Littles

Maxine's Critters Get the Vaccine Jitters by Jan Zauzmer

July 13, 2022 by NTE Leave a Comment

    Maxine’s Critters Get the Vaccine Jitters by Jan Zauzmer is a particularly timely story. Maxine lines up all her stuffed animals for their vaccinations, and then heads to her doctor for hers. The rhyme scheme is simple (with a few misses for me, but mostly solid), the illustrations by Corlette Douglas are noisy, creative and fun, and the pro-vaccine message is on point, especially as under-fives can finally get in line too. Understanding that it’s necessary, but also a little scary is something […]

Should be listened to in audio format if at all possible

Still Just a Geek: An Annotated Memoir by Wil Wheaton

June 10, 2022 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

I have wanted to listen to an audiobook narrated by Wil Wheaton (of “Stand By Me” and Star Trek fame) for a while and when his annotated memoir Still Just a Geek came out it seemed like a good one to try.  Fellow Cannonballers, I did not expect the emotional journey I was about to take when starting this book.  In the opening, Wheaton says that he is going to try his best to make it seem as though he is sitting down having a conversation […]
