The Calling of Emily Evans

A forgettable Christian book about a single woman in the old west.

Diary of the Displaced, Book 2: The Broken Lands

I typically like first-person books but this turned out to be an exception, although it is still half-decent.

The Capture

First book of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series about a barn owl named Soren who's thrown from his nest and captured by a school for owls, out of which he plots to break. Okay, but not great.
