Tracer by Cher Smith (Book Review #282)
Tracer is a psychological thriller written about Z Ellis. The Eradication of Violent Crimes has come up with the concept of software that erases the memories of people who have committed horrendous crimes such as mass murders. By replacing the memory and creating a whole new identity, they hope that the individual would lead a normal life without committing any more crimes. Z Ellis is one of these people.
When Gage McAlister, the inventor of such a program meets with Z and begins to doubt whether he did the right thing by taking away Z’s memory and making him believe he is someone else.
The journey Z takes in order to identify what is real and what is fake, is extraordinary. The story is written with explicit intention to create confusion and induce twists to the plot, in order to innovate different scenarios in the reader’s mind, just to read along to find out what happens next.
The literature standard was strong, and the work appeared very well put together. The pace of the story was steady and provided enough world setting to assist the reader in drawing an imaginary picture in their head. The character development, even with the conflicting personalities, was very intriguing. It made a superb recipe for an ideal psychological thriller.
I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a story to provoke your mind.

Literature by Guillermo Stitch (Book Review #449)
Literature by Guillermo Stitch
Literature is a sci-fi novella. Billy Stinger is a terrorist that is always strapped for time and has some explaining to do with his life choices. The odds are definitely against him in this thrilling fictional story.
The story is just one day and begins with him showing up later for work, he has not dressed appropriately, and his girlfriend is not happy with him. Billy’s character is interesting in the matter of being so particular. He isn’t necessarily the hero nor is he the anti-hero. The mixture made a difference to this short story.

Dear You
By Derra Nicole Sabo
Genre: Nonfiction
Brief Description:
Dear You is a collection of letters written to the people and events that have made the most impactful influences in my life. This book started out as a personal series of letters to the people I love. Letters filled with memories and life lessons. I began writing these letters after finding out that I was very sick. As each letter was written, certain events and memories began popping into my mind which inspired more letters. Dear You is my way of sharing an underdog story about a girl who was never meant to live, but did. I’ve survived surgeries, bullies, depression and being suicidal. I’ve seen this world at its brightest and at its darkest. Living with a rare disorder has allowed me to see this crazy t hing we call life in a whole different perspective. The main message embedded within Dear You is my message to those out there who feel like giving up, who feel alone or forgotten, those who feel lost…you are worth everything this life has to offer, never ever give up. The book opens and closes with a letter i have addressed to the reader…hence, Dear You.

On Historical Societies by L. S. Johnson
On Historical Societies
Writing any kind of historical fiction, no matter how “alternate,” requires research. Once you choose to set your story in some combination of place and year, you need to make that setting come alive. Through the frame of your character’s POV, your readers will be experiencing the sights, sounds, and smells of your world. Whether it’s the feel of a slippery damask dress or the sound of the knocker-upper tapping on a window, the coffeehouse debate about the latest opera or the visual feast of a market display, your world is conveyed as much in the details as in the broad strokes of cultures, politics, and economies.
