Butcher & Blackbird (CBR16 #14)

The first book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy came to my attention thanks to my fellow Cannonballers. I feel like I went from knowing absolutely nothing about this book or its author to being flooded with information about it and somehow still managing to go into the reading experience with extraordinarily little spoiled for me (something I hope to accomplish with my own review). Malin’s review from…

Romancing Mister Bridgerton (CBR16 #13)

This is a re-read for me, put to the front of the line by a weeklong battle with a sinus infection and certain sectors of my social media intake being flooded with Bridgerton season three promos featuring Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton as Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton. As I am not made of stone, I’ve read all 8 main Bridgerton books, watched the first two seasons of the show (a…

Using and Curating Archaeological Collections (CBR16 #12)

When I have a work question, I often try to find a book for it. At work I was added to a project team for a landscape preservation project which includes some preliminary archaeological field work. My role was to provide additional historical background information for the archeologists and then provide guidance for how we wanted any finds curated for preservation. I felt ready for most of that…

I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.

There is NO "death of the author" with JK Rowling - she controls and continues to profit from her IP, and uses that money to fund hate groups.

Perma Red (CB16 #11)

When I was looking for a historical fiction written by an indigenous author I knew right where to go because back in 2021 the Indigenous Reading Circle was featured in a Read Harder Challenge, and I’ve been following them on Instagram ever since. This year they are highlighting native women in fiction and Perma Red by Debra Magpie Earling, a complicated coming of age set on the Flathead…

Juniper Harvey and the Vanishing Kingdom (CBR16 #10)

As I mentioned in my review of The Carrefour Curse there are two tasks in the 2024 Read Harder Challenge that are specifically about middle grades books. Juniper Harvey and the Vanishing Kingdom is my selection for task 6: read a middle grade book with an LGBTQIA main character. Right off the bat, this is a good book, in fact Nina Varela can write better than most authors I’ve come across in the…

Chimney and Hen have always been together, like my first mate. Buck is very much like my son. Eddie is a little bit of a reflection of Bobby, in some ways.

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something
