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 – YAY for YA – Genre Discussion
I started reading YA when my daughter was old enough to start reading YA books. That was over 20 years ago, and we both continue to enjoy reading lots of YA. Many people think YA books are somehow less worthy than other genres of books. Yes, there are YA books that are poorly written, predictable, and just plain bad. However, there are poor quality books in every genre (and “a few bad apples don’t spoil the whole bunch”). To me, the beauty of YA books […]
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). This year we will continue to have genre based zoom discussions with our first one about historical fiction and non-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 – Titles on Skis
It is cold and snowy (at least where I live) and that stupid rodent predicted 6 more weeks of this. What can you do to combat this darkness? You could snuggle up in a comfy chair with a cup of tea and a good book, you could binge watch the Olympics, or you can log on to Cannonball Read and come up with some crazy book titles! I vote for the last one. This diversion, I challenge you to “improve” the title of a book […]
CBR Diversion – Community Bookshelves – Book set in a place you have lived.
New for 2026 we will be building Cannonball Read community bookshelves. Don’t worry, no carpentry skills will be required.

We […]
