Note to Boy by Sue Clark (Book Review #857)
Note to boy is a fictional tale about Eloise and Bradley. The two forecast a very interesting dynamic of a relationship. None of the characters mesh or sync well, and both are together for their own reason, which creates a compelling story. The secrets they keep from each other and the way they face them as it gets revealed were interesting. Both are young, and with that comes inexperience, which creates more clashes and drama causing the reader to be intriguing until the end.

Read MoreFat Books, Tolkien, and Resurrection Power by Michael Jack Webb
I can’t help myself—I write “fat” books! I’ve tried to write books under one hundred thousand words, but no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to lose the weight. My very first novel started out at over two hundred thousand words—and became a trilogy. I’ve tried writing short stories. They turn into novellas. I’ve tried novellas. They turn into full blown novels. I’m a hopeless lover of deep characterization and back story, lots of action, and page-turning plots, something nearly impossible for me to do in less than one hundred thousand words. Plus, I want my readers to feel like they’ve eaten a ten-course meal when they finish one of my thrillers.
Read MoreCarrying My Father’s Torch: From Holocaust Trauma to Transformation by Gail Weiss Gaspar (Book Review #888)

At the age of 63, as he stands at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Gail’s father shares family secrets that were cherishable and admirable, inspiring her to do the same.
Read MoreChasing the dragon’s tail by Craig Fullerton (Book review #854)
