Sure, But Who’s Really the Animal?

Animal by Lisa Taddeo

May 1, 2026 by G.D. Giant Leave a Comment

Animal, by Lisa Taddeo, is a story about Joan. Joan will tell you herself that she is depraved. She will also remind you that she is a survivor and that she’s been judged not only by what she’s done to others, but by the things that have happened to her. For years, Joan’s rage was dormant, but now, after yet another violent act by a man in her life, her rage is growing. Joan is “hot” and “sexy” but is most flattered when someone simply […]

The protagonists meet with a pretty original, if highly unlikely meet cute. Savannah is on a third […]

Cannonball! I wasn’t prepared for this read

Educated by Tara Westover

December 1, 2019 by KimMiE" 10 Comments

I’ve been hoping that I would read something amazing for my first Cannonball. I had heard so many good things about Educated that I put a hold on it in my library and was excited when I got the call last week, timed perfectly to be read over the long Thanksgiving weekend and become my fifty-second review. Educated is an incredible, thought-provoking memoir. Yet I find myself writing this review quickly not because I’m so eager to share my opinions with other readers, but because I […]
