Q: What did the quater say to the penny?

Spend It! (Moneybunny) by Cinders McLeod

by Leave a Comment

Spend It! is one in a series of books for kids learning about money.  Along with Earn It! and Save It! (and possibly a future title Give It!) the reader finds out that money is not as straight forward as one might think. Cinders McLeod, in this book, talks about understanding your choices when it comes to money. Our bunny hero, Sonny, has three carrots, therefore, that means he can buy three things, right? Wrong! As he quickly learns. (Though you got to love that reasoning!) And, with his mothers help, Sonny figures out what each thing he wants cost/how […]

B*tch better have my money

Happy Go Money by Melissa Leong

by Leave a Comment

I won this book at a brunch that I was dragged to by a friend and, quite frankly, was a bit petulant about attending in the first place (first thing on a Sunday morning I just wanted breakfast and gossip, not a lecture on my poor spending habits).  Out of these inauspicious beginnings, I was pleasantly surprised and had to begrudgingly backtrack on my bad attitude- the brunch, and this book, were both great. If Leong looks or sounds at all familiar, you might be Canadian- she is a reporter for the Financial Post, a section of the more right-wing […]

Of course, no religion can prove that it is “true.”

Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief by Lawrence Wright

by 2 Comments

I’m honestly a little bit afraid to write this review, having learned what I learned by reading Going Clear. I don’t want to crap out and not write a review. Other Cannonballers have been brave. What am I so afraid of? An aggressively, violently litigious organization with enormous reach that picks legal and physical fights with anyone who questions their legitimacy. A for-profit company that practically bankrupted the US Treasury in their fight for IRS-recognized status as a religion. An abusive institution that uses its legal status as a religion to commit systematic, egregious human rights violations. A cult based […]
