For obvious reasons, I spent the last two months dealing with constant low-grade anxiety that occasionally really tries to reach full panic mode. This means that my ability to concentrate on anything substantial has been severely affected. So I’ve spent quite a bit of time just engaging with lighter entertainment like romance books and reality shows.  This is probably why I actually read this full series despite the fact that the most I can say about it are that those books are the definition of […]

I Hope You Get This Message by Farah Naz Rishi

Jesse, Cate, and Adeem are all just trying to survive- even before they catch wind of an alien planet’s message to earth: you will all be destroyed in seven days.

While the books are not particularly deep and complex read, […]

It’s official: Seanan McGuire is my new favorite. After really enjoying Sparrow Road and then realizing I’d have to wait a near-eternity (or maybe it just seems like it) to get the sequel from the library, I found on the shelves Every Heart A Doorway, first in another series (Wayward Children) by the same author. The basic premise is intriguing: what happens to the people who find their way into fairy tale worlds (like Alice in Wonderland etc) but then end up back in their […]

For CBR12 we’re planning three book clubs that we hope will inspire you to pick up a new to you book or reread something and consider it again. On March 20th and 21st we’ll celebrate five years of #CannonBookClub and revisit our first book – Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel.
