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 […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: Jenna
Your bio says your favorite genre is “takes place in an old hotel.” I love the specificity of that! Do you have a favorite “old hotel” book, or one that you think best represents the genre? I think anything Agatha Christie wrote set in a hotel or boarding house (most recently, I read N or M?) exemplifies what I love about hotel stories. There are always secret nooks and crannies, everyone knows more than they let on, and time is always of the essence because […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: The Book Omnivore
So you’re a “running nerd?” Do you listen to audio books while you dash up mountains? No, not when I dash up mountains 😁 but late autumn and winter here are usually cold and very dark, so during those months I need all the motivation I can get to go out and run. And audio books provide me with motivation and a well-needed distraction from the weather. I’ll never forget running in a dark forest last winter, with only my head torch for a light, in the […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: postcardsandbooks
You seem to read a wide variety of genres! If you could only pick one genre to read the rest of your life (let’s say a Kindle glitch while you’re on a space station/desert island type scenario), which would it be? Oh, God! What kind of cruel and unusual punishment is this? I want to read it all!!? I’ll be honest with you, I read so many different genres because I realised a couple of years ago that I don’t actually know what I like […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: wicherwill
You’re a first-time Cannonballer, right? How’s it going so far? Mostly kicking myself that I didn’t participate before! If there were a lurker trophy for Cannonball I’d have one for pretty much every single year. I love how I learn new perspectives on books that I’ve liked and disliked–keeps me honest and on the path to becoming a better human. What’s a wicherwill? This is a decades old nickname. In middle school, a friend and I would race to the elementary school during lunch and […]
Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: pixifer
This is your first CBR, right? What do you think so far? And congratulations on Cannonballing your first time out! Thank you! Yes, this is my first CBR and I love it. I thought the best part would be finding new books to read but it’s actually the social aspect. Which is funny because 80% of the time I decide my comments on other people’s reviews aren’t worth posting, so I say nothing and just lurk. I should work on that. In one of your reviews, you […]
