CBR Diversions: How was your summer reading?

September 1, 2023 by jomidi 9 Comments

All too soon summer is over, time for us to reflect on our summer reading. Did you get to all the beach reads you wanted? Did you complete a summer reading program at your local library? Did you tackle a book that has been on your TBR list forever? Did you read any of the “hot” summer titles? Did you follow any celebrity summer reading lists? Well, enough about you, here is my summer reading in a nutshell. I once again participated in my local […]

CBR Diversions: Oh, The Horror – With a Chainsaw

June 15, 2023 by jomidi 45 Comments

I am a huge scaredy cat! I cannot watch horror movies or read horror books. I still have nightmares from scary movies I saw as a kid. This makes me the perfect person to pen the Cannonball Read Horror in Summer blog post. Nowadays, there are so many subgenres of horror books – Gothic, Paranormal, Psychological, Post-Apocalyptic, and Sci-Fi, to name a few. But I am taking you back to the old horror genre of Splatterpunk. How could anybody not love that word? Under the […]

CBR Diversions: You made me read it!

June 15, 2023 by jomidi 9 Comments

We humans succumb easily to peer pressure. We want to fit in. We want to do what our friends are doing. Well, it is no different with books. You are browsing Cannonball Read reviews and a book catches your eye, you think “Hey, this might be interesting.” Then you keep seeing that book being reviewed, over and over again. Why is everybody reviewing this book? What is all this fuss about? Curiosity gets the better of you, you rush out and read that book. Here […]

CBR Diversions: Using your TBR pile to time travel.

March 10, 2023 by jomidi 37 Comments

In the latest Cannonball Fodder, MsWas challenges us to “Take a look at your Goodreads (or real) “Want to Read” shelf, and crack open the book that has been on there the longest.” I recently went through all my bookshelves, reviewing every book that I own to determine its fate. Did I want to keep this book since I still intended to read it, it was autographed, or it had some other special sentimental value?  Did it belong in the donation pile, something my friend […]

CBR Diversions: “But February made me shiver” Fighting the Winter Blues

February 16, 2023 by jomidi 33 Comments

I am not a huge fan of February. I could very easily do without the Super Bowl or Valentine’s Day (don’t judge me!) It is usually cold, grey, and dark (unless it is snowy, in which case it is cold, white, and dark). Like every faithful book lover, I turn to books to fight these winter blues. I pick up a funny rom com, or a suspenseful mystery, or I return to another time with a historical fiction. Time passes as pages turn, and suddenly […]
