What the hell, Dad?

The Sweeney Sisters by Lian Dolan

December 28, 2020 by Leedock Leave a Comment

My TBR pile has taunted me this entire year. In my continuing attempt to remedy that, here is another 2019 Holiday exchange book review (Thanks Black Raven!) to close out the year. When famous writer, Bill Sweeney, suddenly dies, his three daughters gather at their childhood home in a small Connecticut seaside town to prepare his wake and settle his estate. While grieving and dealing with their own personal issues, they discover that their father has been paid a hefty advance for a memoir that […]

Crossover by Kwame Alexander

December 13, 2020 by Leedock Leave a Comment

This gem was given to me by Black Raven through last year’s CBR holiday book exchange. Most likely, I would have never come across this book on my own, so a big thanks to Black Raven. It took me almost a year to crack it open but it was probably one of the best books that I read all year. Not to continue to beat the same sad drum, but I have had a hard time reading this year. I know that I am not […]

Thank you to my Cannonball Book Exchange Friend, Jenny S!

Hope for the Best by Jodi Taylor

Strong Female Protagonist by Brennan Lee Mulligan (Author), Molly Ostertag (Artist)

December 31, 2019 by borisanne 1 Comment

This is a belated and rushed THANK YOU to my amazing Cannonball Book Exchange gifter, Jenny S! She somehow picked the book I wanted MOST (“Hope for the Best”) and also a book I’d never heard of and LOVED (“Strong Female Protagonist”). I’ve read them both already! THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I have indeed read 52 books this year, and also indeed written ZERO reviews. This is my commitment to getting back on the horse for 2020! You heard it here first. Boom! Under the […]

CBR Exchange Goodies!

December 31, 2019 by HasenKlub Leave a Comment

This is an extremely late, but huge thank you to The Chancellor for the book exchange goodies! I’ve had The Day the World Came to Town on my TBR list ever since reading a review of it right here on CBR. I work in aviation, and everybody who was here on 9/11 talks about how absolutely chaotic the logistics of that was. I am really excited to read this one. I received this package of books just before going on a trip to Utah, and […]

Can you say Gentrification, Boys and Girls?

Pride by Ibi Zoboi

December 29, 2019 by Jenny S Leave a Comment

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when rich people move into the hood, where it’s a little bit broken and a little bit forgotten, the first thing they want to do is clean it up. But it’s not just the junky stuff they’ll get rid of. People can be thrown away too, like last night’s trash left out on sidewalks or pushed to the edge of wherever all broken things go.  What those rich people don’t always know is that broken and forgotten neighborhoods […]
