Hope you are enjoying this year’s Cannonball Read Book Bingo Reading Challenge. You can get complete information here. I am back with assistance for finding books to meet the bingo circle “Wheels”. Wheels – leaving; traveling; transportation; immigration; vacation; assistive mobility devices; road trip; infrastructure; robots; a car on the cover. Let’s dig deeper into road trip. I love a good road trip book. People jammed into a car on a mission to get somewhere. There can be conflict among passengers, vehicle breakdowns, small towns, […]
CBR Diversion – Bingo – “Craft”
Hope you are enjoying this year’s Cannonball Read Book Bingo Reading Challenge. You can get complete information here. I am back with assistance for finding books to meet the bingo circle “Craft”. Craft – boats; knitting; a character makes something; this book is a good example (or bad example) of the craft of writing. I decided it would be the most fun to explore this one from several unusual angles ranging from witchcraft to spacecraft to baking. Hope something on this list inspires you! Here […]
CBR Diversion – Body Language!
Summer is a good time for some fun with book titles. While you slather your body parts with sunscreen, let’s insert some body parts into book titles. Change one word in a book title to a body part to make a fun new title. Here are some of mine: Lady Chatterley’s Liver The Armpit and the Pendulum Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Gallbladder One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Neck Gone With the Wisdom Teeth Now it is your turn, comment below with your body parts titles!
CBR Diversion – Bingo – “One”
The Cannonball Read Book Bingo Reading Challenge is a beloved annual tradition. You can get the complete information on this year’s Bingo here. This year I’d like to help with your bingo board by providing assistance in finding books to meet a particular bingo circle. Where better to begin than with “One”. One – the first book in a series; the author’s first book; a standalone; one star rating; the one book you would recommend. Lots of fun ways to go with this – think […]
CBR Diversion – YAY for YA – Genre Discussion
I started reading YA when my daughter was old enough to start reading YA books. That was over 20 years ago, and we both continue to enjoy reading lots of YA. Many people think YA books are somehow less worthy than other genres of books. Yes, there are YA books that are poorly written, predictable, and just plain bad. However, there are poor quality books in every genre (and “a few bad apples don’t spoil the whole bunch”). To me, the beauty of YA books […]
CBR Diversion – Community Bookshelves – Please judge a book by its cover!
Let’s talk book covers. The old adage “don’t judge a book by its cover” is ridiculous. We all judge a book by its cover, and the publishers know this and spend lots of time and energy designing book covers for just this reason. If book covers didn’t matter, why do they change covers between US and UK editions of the same book? (They sometimes change titles also, but that is a different discussion.) I have a lot of opinions about book covers, so make yourself […]
