How many times have you participated in CBR? Has it changed the way you read? This is my first CBR. A friend (who has participated in the past) recommended you to me. The change in my reading is I found a few books I never would have read on my own. I may or may not have liked them, but I did enjoy the experience. I also want to read more so I can recommend LOTS more books (as books are a passion of mine…. it’s my only real addiction. And chocolate. And cake. And alligator wrestling). All the young adult and children’s […]

You achieved your first Cannonball in CBR3 and came back to Cannonball again for CBR10 (Congrats!). What happened in the lost years in between? Were you still reading and writing? I signed up for CBR3 while riding on the high of having sent my kid off to kindergarten. Having free “me” time during the day, I decided to take the plunge. It was HARD. I let the reviews pile up and it was a struggle to get it completed. I thought about joining again eventually and when I realized the 10th anniversary was coming up, I just decided to go […]

How many times have you participated in CBR? Has it changed the way you read? This is my third time participating in CBR. I attempted a half cannonball in 2016 and came close to reading 26 books but fell far short in the number of reviews written. In 2017 I set the same goal and succeeded! For 2018 I decided to challenge myself with a full cannonball and it looks promising that I’ll complete it. Being a part of CBR has changed how I read, number of pages is now a consideration for what to read next! In all seriousness, […]

How many times have you participated in CBR? Has it changed the way you read? Although I’ve lurked ever since the beginning of CBR, this is my second time participating (I was always too intimidated by the great reviews that everyone wrote, before deciding that life was too short for all that). It’s changed my reading in a couple of ways – I originally signed up as I hadn’t been reading as much as I did before life and work got in the way, and CBR has definitely helped in that regard. I managed just over a Cannonball last year […]

How many times have you participated in CBR? Has it changed the way you read? I started CBR6 but only got a handful of books in before I fell by the wayside. I guess I’d almost consider this my first real CBR. I feel that I remember more of what I read now because I’m focused on the review, but I also extra hate bad books because it lingers with me until I get the review out. I’ve been a voracious reader my whole life, I’m grateful that CBR has me more carefully considering what I feed my brain. What’s […]
