I’ve been on a big Rainbow Rowell re-read lately. I got all of her books on audible, and with the new job, I’m in the car a lot. Seriously, so much. And I find Rebecca Lowman’s voice to be so soothing, that even the Beltway traffic doesn’t bother me too much when I’m listening to her. And FYI, this review is pretty much a big huge spoiler. If you haven’t read it, go ahead and pick up a copy. I’ll wait. The other day I […]
Star Wars and a Happy New Year
Rainbow Rowell is a CBR treasure so naturally I had to seek out Almost Midnight, two short stories published together in the UK, by cleverly giving it to my sister for her birthday and then borrowing it. I had already read “Kindred Spirits” but I had not read “Midnights” before. I have already read and reviewed “Kindred Spirits “ but it was fun to reread it leading up to the release of Last Jedi this Friday. My husband and I bought tickets a month ago but then he was unexpectedly sent […]
Merry October or I revisit a favorite
Merry October everyone. (Shhh… I know its November, but it’s still October in my heart.) I love Rainbow Rowell, and I love the characters she creates. I also love how much she loves my favorite month of the year. This is my second time through Attachments and while looking back I can see all the ways in which Rowell has grown as an author but my affection for this story has only grown. I rated this one 4 stars when I last read it for […]
Apt that the book prompting this was Fangirl
You guys, I loved this book. Like, a stupid amount. I loved this book so much it gave me the warm fuzzies. I loved it so much I wanted to be a teen again, and NO THANKS to that. I loved it so much I saved reading it for bad days despite wanting to eat it in one go like a cupcake. I loved, loved, loved this book like I was Roger Ebert’s evil twin reviewing the movie North. What I’m saying is this is […]
“Do you believe in love at first sight?”…”I don’t know,” he said. “Do you believe in love before that?”
Apparently, I’m in the middle of a massive re-reading binge. I didn’t even realize it, but most of the books on the list of “reviews I need to catch up on” are for books that I’ve not only read before, but have also reviewed before. Attachments is one of those books — first reviewed in CBR5, it was a book I loved so much, I was afraid to reread it. What if I didn’t love it as much as I did last time? Wouldn’t that […]
Thanks, Rainbow. I can always count on you.
When I heard that Cannonball favorite Rainbow Rowell was joining the Marvel team, I was certainly intrigued. I’m not a huge Marvel fangirl, but I had faith that Rainbow wouldn’t sign on to a project that wasn’t worthy of her. So, at her urging, I went to the library to pick up the first two volumes of the original Runaways, written by the always great Brian K. Vaughan. And, of course, Rainbow was right. I was immediately taken in and wanted more.* Here’s a quick […]
