CBR Diversion – Bingo – “Bird”

October 2, 2026 by jomidi 7 Comments

Hope you are enjoying this year’s Cannonball Read Book Bingo Reading Challenge. You can get complete information here. I am back with assistance for finding books to meet the bingo circle “Bird“. Bird – symbol of a nation; symbol of resistance; birds of a feather; bird’s eye view; has the name of a bird. For this one I am going to explore bird books of four types – character named Bird, bird on the cover, plot involves birds (or birdwatching), and title with a bird […]

CBR Diversion – Books for Spooky Season

October 1, 2026 by jomidi 22 Comments

In the spirit of Halloween (not the pop-up store), this diversion, and our upcoming book chat Zoom, will focus on all things spooky. I will use the idea of spooky loosely here to include: ghosts, vampires, gothic, witches, horror, and things that goes bump in the night. I must start by saying I am a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to reading horror. I prefer being able to sleep at night. However, this has not stopped me from being in a gothic […]

CBR Diversion – Bingo – “Wheels”

September 1, 2026 by jomidi 13 Comments

Hope you are enjoying this year’s Cannonball Read Book Bingo Reading Challenge. You can get complete information here. I am back with assistance for finding books to meet the bingo circle “Wheels”. Wheels – leaving; traveling; transportation; immigration; vacation; assistive mobility devices; road trip; infrastructure; robots; a car on the cover. Let’s dig deeper into road trip. I love a good road trip book. People jammed into a car on a mission to get somewhere. There can be conflict among passengers, vehicle breakdowns, small towns, […]

CBR Diversion – Bingo – “Craft”

August 15, 2026 by jomidi 21 Comments

Hope you are enjoying this year’s Cannonball Read Book Bingo Reading Challenge. You can get complete information here. I am back with assistance for finding books to meet the bingo circle “Craft”. Craft – boats; knitting; a character makes something; this book is a good example (or bad example) of the craft of writing. I decided it would be the most fun to explore this one from several unusual angles ranging from witchcraft to spacecraft to baking. Hope something on this list inspires you! Here […]

CBR Diversion – Body Language!

August 4, 2026 by jomidi 23 Comments

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”

July 1, 2026 by jomidi 18 Comments

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 […]
