by Robert A. Heinlein

Story of an orphaned boy discovering his place in the galaxy. I liked the easy-going style, though it would have been helped by a more driving overall plot. The end literally gets weighed down in bureaucracy.

Alice in Zombieland

by Gena Showalter

A teeny-bopper zombie tale, this one with more spirit-like zombies and lots of teen romance. Longer than it needed to be and the mystery felt like someone leading you on. Meh.

On the Banks of Plum Creek

by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Continuing my way through the Little House series and this one finally us gets us to Minnesota. The plot in these stories is so minimal, but I do enjoy getting a glimpse of life in the 1800s.

Anthills of the Savannah

by Chinua Achebe

A little more academic and literary for my tastes (took me forever to figure out who the characters were since the narration kept switching back and forth), but it did offer an interesting perspective on African politics and culture.

Through the Ever Night

by Veronica Rossi

The second in a trilogy, which is always kind of a letdown. This one didn't quite seem to go anywhere until the last third.
