Book Club Discussion Post: Station Eleven Revisited

March 20, 2020 by faintingviolet 76 Comments

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 […]

March 10, 2020 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

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? Let this post serve as your official reminder – we are 10 days away from book club on Friday March 20 and Saturday March 21.  Really interesting reviews of Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven are already up, and I’m about midway through my current reread. I’m  getting excited for what’s ahead. If you were here […]

Book Club Discussion Post: Any Sherlock Retelling

September 20, 2019 by faintingviolet 14 Comments

The time is here for our most free-form book club yet. Our goal here is to discuss any Sherlock Holmes retellings or adaptations you have read (doesn’t have to be in the past month or two) and how they reflect on both the larger mythos of Sherlock and what it takes to tell a good story based on another. For those of you returning or who might be joining in for #CannonBookClub for the first time (hello new friends!) all are welcome, you don’t have […]

Good Omens Discussion Topics

May 6, 2019 by faintingviolet 3 Comments

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 […]
