| Wild Wings by Gill Lewis | Hounded by Kevin Hearne | ||
|
This book is a about a couple of friends who realize that on their farm they have a pair of rare ospreys. They follow the birds’ migration across the land letting more people in on the secret as time goes on. I liked the places described that the birds migrated over. Ruch Branch |

A very funny novel about a 2100 year old Irish Druid living in modern day Arizona and being hunted by the Irish god of love. It was very funny, yet still has a tangible plot. Central Point Branch |
| Chariots of Fire by W.J. Weatherby | Great Writing by Harvey S. Wiener | ||
|
This is a true story of the two men, Harold and Eric, who run not to run but to prove something to the world. They will sacrifice anything to achieve their goals and to glorify God! Read this book, it’s so cool!!! I love the whole plot of this book! Central Point Branch |
|
This is a great book of all the great writings of history. It has Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, E.B. White, William Shakespeare, Martin Luther King Jr., Frederick Douglass, and many more. Read it. It’s amazing! Central Point Branch |
| The Usborne Science Encyclopedia | Saint Maximilian Kolbe by Patricia Jablonski |
||
|
It’s just basically the best encyclopedia ever! It really helped me understand everything I needed to know about science! I really liked it because it’s clearly explained and fun. Central Point Branch |
|
This is a great story of a man who puts his life down to save another in Germany in World War II. Read this book – it’s amazing! It’s just an amazing story and I love reading about the saints! Central Point Branch |
| Night World #7: Huntress by L.J. Smith | Spells by Aprilynne Pike | ||
| Huntress was exciting. It introduced the Wild Powers and the apocalypse. In all the fighting there was love, too. Jez was strong and could fight. Instead of the scared characters, she fought hard. I love how the main character already knew about the Night World. |
|
Great book! Not as good as the first one, though. I like how they introduce Klea and the ending was real. I don’t like that Laurel wants human things. She isn’t human and should be Taminine. Eagle Point Branch |
| Gossip Girl #2: You Know You Love Me by Cecily Von Ziegesar |
Everlasting by Alyson Noël | ||
|
Amazing! Starts things out with more surprises. I love the ending though, awesome! Can’t wait for the next book! I love how different romances keep popping up and you get shocked. Eagle Point Branch |
|
The book was great. I loved how you got to see the rest of the Immortals and how they forgave everyone. I hated that it was the last book of the series. I would want to have more time in everyone’s past life, the beginning of it all. |
| Flash Burnout by L.K. Madigan |
|
||
|
A terrible portrayal of “teenage life.” I spent the entire book hating the main character and how the author “justified” his actions. Add the most terrible, unresolved, and lame endings, plus the fact that the main character learns nothing after being a moron the entire book makes me want to “burnout” this book. I didn’t like the arrogant, sex-craving, moronic dolt of a main character. Central Point Branch |
