CBR Bingo(x4) Snubbed

October 25, 2018 by Caitlin_D Leave a Comment

“I lost a Tony award to Broadway legend Audra McDonald when I was twelve so I’ve been a bitter bitch since before my first period.” Anna Kendrick seems like the ideal author for “snubbed” because she has not only lost a Goodreads Choice award she has also lost a Tony, an Oscar, Golden Globe and SAG award. She did beat Ryan Reynolds for best Twitter personality at this year’s Kid’s Choice Awards so she is doing alright. I’d previously read Scrappy Little Nobody but for my reread I […]

There’s Always a Road to Here, No Matter Where Here Is (#CBR10Bingo)

August 21, 2018 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

I went away this weekend with one of my favorite people and we spent our time looking at gorgeous scenery, visiting museums and historic sites, and eating and drinking local. In doing so we spent a lot of time in the car going from place to place, so my travel buddy suggested we listen to Anna Kendrick’s autobiography because he was sure I would really enjoy it. This is why he’s one of my favorites, perfectly lovely weekend away and happy to re-listen to an […]

Scrappy Little Memoir

January 3, 2017 by Beth Ellen 3 Comments

I don’t remember where I first saw Anna Kendrick. It very well might have been Twilight. But ever since Up in the Air we are excellent terms. And I hear from many she has a delightful social media presence, but honestly: I can’t be bothered to keep up with any of it. I am not now, nor ever have been hip, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy watching Anna Kendrick in movies. So I learned more about her. Ms. Kendrick covers her life up […]

Remember This Scrappy Little Nobody?

January 1, 2017 by Travis_J_Smith 1 Comment

Since my glory days of completing a Cannonball multiple times over a couple years in a row, the amount of reading I’ve done has cratered. Amusingly enough, re-reads have comprised most of my reading, which is funny because I’m not the type to re-read anything normally. Rainbow Rowell’s become the exception to that rule, with each of her books making me feel at home and serving as ample distraction from whatever worrisome thoughts or situations happen to be clouding my mind. If she were to […]

“I lost a Tony award to Broadway legend Audra McDonald when I was twelve so I’ve been a bitter bitch since before my first period.”

December 4, 2016 by Caitlin_D 1 Comment

Anna Kendrick is one of those people who I probably like more for their real world personality (Instagram and Twitter) than her body of work. I enjoyed the first Pitch Perfect but was disappointed by the sequel and my husband will never forgive me for dragging him to see Into the Woods. I’ve only soberly seen the first Twilight (although I believe I’ve been in a room showing the next two in the series) but I remember being pleasantly surprised by her performance in Up in the Air since she was […]
