Summer is a good time for some fun with book titles. While you slather your body parts with sunscreen, let’s insert some body parts into book titles. Change one word in a book title to a body part to make a fun new title. Here are some of mine: Lady Chatterley’s Liver The Armpit and the Pendulum Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Gallbladder One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Neck Gone With the Wisdom Teeth Now it is your turn, comment below with your body parts titles!
CBR Diversion – Bingo – “One”
The Cannonball Read Book Bingo Reading Challenge is a beloved annual tradition. You can get the complete information on this year’s Bingo here. This year I’d like to help with your bingo board by providing assistance in finding books to meet a particular bingo circle. Where better to begin than with “One”. One – the first book in a series; the author’s first book; a standalone; one star rating; the one book you would recommend. Lots of fun ways to go with this – think […]
CBR Diversion – Don’t Know Much About History!
I have always loved reading historical fiction. I learn so much about various people, times, events, and places in history. I will occasionally read a really good non-fiction history book (especially non-fiction that reads like fiction).

Here are some questions to ponder (and comment down below about and talk about on our zoom call!) Do you like your history reading to be fiction or non-fiction? […]

CBR Diversion – End of Year Reading Wrap Up
The end of the year is a perfect time for reflection. Let’s reflect on the most important part of your year – the books you read. First, I want to talk about the worst books I read this year. These books were a pain to read, but I did finish them (I am one of those always finish what you start people.) Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White – a read for my YA book group which we all hated, extremely violent story of sociopath […]
CBR Diversion – Name that sequel!
When you finish a really good book, you hate for it to end. That is why we all love sequels. Let’s have some fun with sequels. Since most of us don’t have the time or the talent to write a sequel to our favorite book, we can at least write the title. Even if the book already has a sequel with a different name, I am sure we can think up a better one. So here are my suggestions – original book title followed by […]
