Wrapping up CBR14

January 27, 2023 by MsWas Leave a Comment

Cannonball Read, Inc. became an official 501(c)(3) organization in 2022, and not only that, we topped that milestone by reaching, and then exceeding, the $10,000 mark in our total donations to the American Cancer Society. To think all this began as a friendly wager on a pop culture site between a couple of Pajibans–AlabamaPink and Prisco! We’ve read over 27,000 different titles and written more than 49,000 book reviews. I’m in awe every day at what folks are writing…  Read the full wrap-up at Pajiba.com […]

Now only the really tragic sections of the story are left

Sandman, Act III by Neil Gaiman and Dirk Maggs

December 31, 2022 by Malin 8 Comments

4.5 stars Act III of the full-cast audio adaptation of The Sandman was suddenly released with what felt like absolutely no fanfare or previous advertising. Suddenly, one day, it was just there on Audible. This installment covers the two collections Brief Lives and World’s End, as well as some of the stories collected in the anthology volume Fables and Reflections (the very first volume I ever read). It means we finally get the full and tragic story of Dream’s son Orpheus and his beloved Euridyce, […]

This was just as delightful as Emmalita/Rochelle promised

Season of Love by Helena Greer

December 31, 2022 by Malin Leave a Comment

Ten years ago, Miriam Blum cut all ties with her entire family, including her eccentric great-aunt. Now she turns antique junk into creative and incisive art and has a loyal following on Instagram. She has a beautiful and wealthy fiancée and while they’re never going to share a passionate romance, they love each others as friends and support one another. Miriam is working towards finally opening her own art studio in Charleston when she is informed that her great-aunt Cass died (no one had even […]

It’s the biggest and most dangerous dating show in the universe!

Sweep of the Heart by Ilona Andrews

December 31, 2022 by Malin 2 Comments

This is not the place to start The Innkeeper Chronicles, as it’s the sixth installment overall (four full books and a novella come before it). This story has a LOT of callbacks to previous stories, so just start with Clean Sweep if you haven’t tried this yet. Innkeepers Dina DeMille and Sean Evans are still trying to recover from the last cosmic adventure that taxed them when they discover that Wilmos, the aging werewolf who’s pretty much Sean’s surrogate grandfather has been abducted. The traces […]

One of my favourite book club picks of the year

Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

December 31, 2022 by Malin 4 Comments

Viv the orc barbarian has had enough of the adventuring life and leaves her band of fellow warriors after one last battle with a particularly challenging monster. Instead of fighting, she dreams of taking all her savings and putting them towards a business of her own. In the city of Thune, she plans to open a cozy little shop, selling something called coffee. Turning a worn-down livery stable into a pleasant café isn’t exactly something Viv’s warrior training prepared her for, but she manages to […]

This is a story about the brothers Lynch

Greywaren by Maggie Stiefvater

December 31, 2022 by Malin Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! This book is the third and final in the Dreamer trilogy, which in itself is a follow-up to the four-book Raven Cycle. It very much doesn’t stand on its own and won’t really make sense unless you’ve read the previous books. The place to begin is Call Down the Hawk, or if you want to read all the books about Ronan, Adam, and their friends, The Raven Boys. I’m going to be honest, while I normally love Stiefvater’s writing and willingly go along […]
