A very lovely romance about two complex people on the search for belonging

#CannonBookClub June 2023 Book Announcement
Hello, Cannonballers! Whether school’s out or not, the time for summer book club is nearly upon us. Since I decided that my first time participating in CannonBookClub in any way, shape, or form should involve me organizing and hosting, I figured the smart plan would be to keep things simple: one book, nothing too heavy. It was a good plan, but then I remembered that much like summer in the hometown I’ll soon be moving back to (New Orleans, LA), I have ZERO chill. So, […]
I’m a seriffs guy, personally.
Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn
Love Lettering is a portable romantic comedy – it would make a great movie, limited series, comic book, etc. Good job, Kate Clayborn! Love Lettering is about Meg – an up-and-coming hand-letterer and designer in Brooklyn. A few years ago she moved from the Midwest to New York with her best friend, Sibyl. Sibyl, aka Sibi, is an actress looking to make her way in the City. Meg is more of a wanderer than a planner (even though she custom designs planners), but seems to […]
A little disappointing
Luck of the Draw by Kate Clayborn
I’ve tried Kate Clayborn before when I read Love at First at a friend’s recommendation. It was all right, but I didn’t love it. So I recently decided to give Clayborn another try with Luck of the Draw (2018). I was excited because the protagonist is a lawyer who won the lottery! I was a lawyer, and I would love to win the lottery, so I figured I’d be able to relate. There were some fun parts to this book, I guess, but I also didn’t love this one. Zoe Ferris […]
I decide I ought to find out everything in life she wants to say yes to, so I can hear it over and over again
Georgie, All Along by Kate Clayborn
I like Kate Clayborn’s Georgie, All Along so much. This is the book I’ve been waiting for since Luck of the Draw. Her other releases have been good, but this one, this one is the perfect blend of heart, sass, and heat. It will make you cry, but won’t make you feel stupid for doing it. Georgie Mulcahey returns to the small Virginia town where she grew up with all her worldly possessions in her Prius. She’s come back to help her best friend get […]
