Top Ten Reasons I’m Thankful This Year

November 22, 2017 by MsWas 5 Comments

It’s been a tough year. You know it, and I know it. But when I tally up everything I’m thankful for, maybe things aren’t so bad after all. It’s a pretty good list:

  1. Books
  2. Family
  3. Friends
  4. Volunteers
  5. Books
  6. CBR Fan Mail
  7. Books
  8. Wonder Woman
  9. Books
  10. You

That’s right Cannonballer, I’m thankful for you — thankful that you’re spending time here, reading and reviewing, and thoughtfully commenting on posts. You reach out across continents to cheer on your fellow reviewers and commiserate over terrible books. You carefully compose your reviews, and check off categories and tags, and you help kick cancer’s ass.

Yes, it’s true. Just by being here, you’re helping us kick cancer’s ass. If you’d like to make sure that we continue CBR far past CBR10 and way into double digits, know that any funds you can send our way will help support this site. In fact, after you’ve had your turkey and come out of your food coma to head online for some serious Amazon shopping, make sure to click through our affiliate link, the CBR Buy Hole. It just happens to be to a book written by one of the founders of CBR: Brian Prisco. A percentage of everything you buy once you’re on Amazon helps support our mission to fundraise for the American Cancer Society at no extra cost to you.

Thank you so much for visiting this site, commenting on posts, and supporting Cannonballers every day. Happy Reading!

    Happy Thanksgiving! What a lovely list. I genuinely don’t know what I would do without this great community of people, both here on the group blog and over on Facebook. You all mean so much to me, even now when I seem to be losing all will and motivation to read and review (apparently my body really does need everything rerouted into making a new tiny human, no matter how I generally feel about it), it’s so good to know that you are all here. And that we’re kicking cancer’s ass while reading and reviewing and discussing books.

    I am grateful for you, the community as a whole, books and all the many ways there are to consume them, and social media where I interact with Cannonballers, authors and other readers.

    Love this list by MsWas and I am thankful for all of you in the Cannonball community, who inspire me to read and write, even if I’m having trouble getting reviews written this fall.
