“The lights will come back on someday…and then we’ll all finally get to go home.”

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

April 11, 2020 by scootsa1000 1 Comment

I am not saying anything you don’t already know when I tell you that this book is simply amazing. I first read this book back for CBR6 (and shockingly — I think I was the first review of it!!), and recommended it to everyone I knew for months afterwards. I bought copies of it for birthdays, and housewarmings, and hostess gifts. I participated in the very first #cannonbookclub. I thought about getting a Survival is Insufficient tattoo. I was all about this book. And I […]

The Woman in Cabin 10 or How Unreliable is this Narrator, Really?

The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware

May 16, 2017 by BabyBearStrikesBack 6 Comments

I love murder mysteries, especially on audio book—my commute just flies by! I especially enjoy murder mysteries with female narrators. It’s safe to assume I really loved Gone Girl. When The Girl on The Train came out, I was an early cheerleader. I “read” it through Audible and the narration was really outstanding, which I think made me like it more than I would have if I had just read the book normally. This is all to say, I came into this book with high […]

Another Historical Romance Novella (I forgot that last part while reading.)

All's Fair in Love and Scandal by Caroline Linden

August 11, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 2 Comments

I read Caroline Linden’s best book first. It’s One Night in London from the trilogy “The Truth About the Duke”, but I haven’t gotten around to reviewing it yet, although it is on my “Re-Read and Review List. (Linden books I have gotten around to reviewing can be found here.) Having enjoyed that first book so much, I bought the trilogy and now everything else she writes, but her most recent efforts took a turn that has left me wanting something more from her. It’s […]

God Bless Us Every Quarter Cannonball!

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

December 31, 2014 by Ewandini 4 Comments

Everyone knows the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens as the story of a mean old miser named Scrooge who has a change of heart after being visited by four ghosts. I have seen many film versions of this story, but I can’t really choose a favourite amongst them as they include things that I like and things that I don’t. The main difference between the movies and the book is that the book has many things that the movies […]

I did it, I really really did it!

Fables Encyclopedia by Jess Nevins

December 31, 2014 by Robyn Robotron 6 Comments

It’s a Fables encyclopedia. But, more importantly, I made it!!  I almost didn’t think I was going to.  This has been wonderful fun.  I’m definitely signing up for next year, except I’m only committing to a half Cannonball.  With a new baby on the way, and how close I came to the wire on this one, I don’t think I can make it to 52 next year.  Thanks to everyone for the interesting reviews and to MsWas for keeping this ship afloat.  I hope everyone […]

wuthering heights

A story of incredibly passionate love and vengeance.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

December 31, 2014 by AamilTheCamel 5 Comments

Fifty-second book reviewed as part of the 130 Challenge. It seems that one can only despise someone with true passion, if they have once loved them just as much. And there is no story that can equal Wuthering Heights when it comes to passion. The story is tragic, but beautifully so and the reason why tragedy is such a thing of beauty is because it takes much loving and longing to make a tragedy. Nothing that happens in Wuthering heights is subdued. There is unabashed […]
