This week I'm featuring featuring Recorder by Cathy McCrumb. I've gotta say, this book is a great way to start off the year. It's fantastic! I'm loving it so much!
The Consortium is All. But Recorder Can No Longer Obey.
Recorder has no family, no friends, and no name. Donated to the Consortium before birth, her sole purpose is to maintain and verify the records. A neural implant and drone ensure compliance, punishing for displays of bias.
Suddenly cut off from controlling technology, Recorder tastes what it means to be human. But if the Consortium discovers her feelings, everyone she knows will be in danger.
With no name, no resources, and only an infinitesimal possibility of escape, Recorder's time is running out.

Book Beginnings
I did not have a name - none of us did - but once when I was young, I had a friend.
Friday 56
I had decided to return to the beginning and follow the trail forward when an unexpected hand on my shoulder startled me. I spun around.
