Welcome to our first #CannonBookClub of 2020 – a return trip to Station Eleven. When MsWas and I discussed revisiting our first book club book six months ago we couldn’t have known what the state of the world would be when we got to March. COVID-19 is very different than the Georgian Flu, but it certainly gave us a new lens through which to view Emily St. John Mandel’s book. On to the boilerplate: ground rules remain the same as they always have. For those […]
Discussion Topics Preview: Station Eleven
The Station Eleven discussion post is still live, and you can still comment on that discussion. My lovely fellow Cannonballers, are you ready to make a return trip to Station Eleven?

Book Club Discussion Post: Any Sherlock Retelling
The time is here for our most free-form book club yet.

Good Omens Discussion Topics
Our Good Omens discussion is now open. Please join us there for these and other topics to discuss! This was a first time read for me, a book that has been sitting on my bookshelf, or my roommate’s, for years. I was saving it, and without getting into review/spoiler territory I can say I’m glad to have read it now. Good Omens tells us the story of what happens when The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world’s only completely accurate book […]
