Though I don’t write reviews for CBR, I’m definitely still reading—this year I’ve put a double Cannonball on my Goodreads “Read” shelf! And so, on this Giving Tuesday, I’m donating 50¢ per book I’ve read in 2022 to Cannonball Read! Who’s with me? How many books have you read (and/or reviewed!) this year? If you’ve completed a half Cannonball, that’s 26, would you consider a $26 donation? If ten Cannonballers met this challenge, we’d be halfway to our goal! Would you consider challenging a fellow […]

(After seeing so many at Halloween, I’ll wager that we see dragons or dinosaurs taking over displays this year. You heard it here first.) A Big Thank You I’ve said many times […]

Detached broken fossils of pre-adamite whales, fragments of their bones and skeletons, have within thirty years past, at various intervals, been found at the base of the Alps, in Lombardy, in France, in England, in Scotland, and in the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Among the more curious of such remains is part of a skull, which in the year 1779 was disinterred in the Rue Dauphine in Paris, a short street opening almost directly upon the palace of the Tuileries; and bones disinterred […]
