Hi, genericwhitegirl! Thank you for agreeing to participate in the Cannonball Read getting-to-know-ya. (And for providing such great responses to the pre-interview questionnaire.) Since this is a community of people reading and reviewing books to help kick cancer’s ass, it seems only right that we start with your favorite book or books. You mentioned that while you’ve really enjoyed the Children of Time series by Adrian Tchaikovsky, Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders, Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde, and Ella Minnow Pea by […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: a Classic mystery
Hi, Classic! Thanks so much for agreeing to participate in our interview! I see from your Cannonball Read profile that you’ve been participating in and off since CBR 9. How did you find us? I used to post on Pajiba, and reading Pajiba Love, I saw that there were often book reviews and I started to read the reviews that were linked. There were more CBR commenters back in those days, and I think it was Ms. Julien who told me about CBR and how […]
Quick Questions with Cosbrarian: Fairy Tales Are F*cked Up
Thanks for joining us today, Cosbrarian! We’re so excited to talk about your book, but we’ll get to that in a minute.

Quick Questions with Tracy: Getting back in the saddle
Hi, Tracy! Thank you so much for agreeing to participate in Quick Questions with a Cannonballer. You’ve been a member of the Cannonball Read community for several years. Would you mind sharing a little bit about yourself and how you found us? Ok, a little about me: I grew up in Maryland and I was one of those horse crazy girls. I took riding lessons and read all the horse books I could get my hands on. After grad school (for clinical psychology), I moved […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Denesteak shares Southeast Asia
Denesteak! You’ve participated in Cannonball Read off and on almost since the very beginning. We’re so glad you’re back with us for CBR17. Would you share a little about how you came to be a part of the CBR community and what your screen name means? I’ve been part of the Pajiba community since the early 2000s, and I remember AlabamaPink fondly in the comment section, as well as Prisco. I joined CBR2 because I thought it would be a nice way to honor her […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: CoffeeShopReader
Do you have a favorite genre and, if so, what is it? Can I have 2-ish? First up would have to be sci-fi/fantasy/speculative. I know that’s not exactly a single genre, but some of my favorites really do end up combining, like the Checquy Files (?although the third says the series is now the Rook Files) series, most anything non-horror by P. Djeli Clark, and Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series (I’ve read the whole thing), I’ve also been drifting slightly towards the cozy side of things, such […]
