This is an amazing book to read during the holiday simply because it distracts your mind from the real world and transfers you to a historical fiction reality. An amazing experience in which we can all connect especially if you love historical events. An amazing series and an expanding one that is a unique take on the exploration of Vinland. -Matthew Luciani '24 Secretary of Library Advisory Board.
I would like to recommend I Am Behind You by John Ajvide Lindqvist. This book is a great horror book that looks into past mistakes and the darkness of the unknown. It dives deep into the horror of the thoughts of a human being. It is very suspenseful and although a fairly long book, it keeps you intrigued the whole time while reading.

Leviathan Wakes-Only the first book in the fantastic sci-fi series The Expanse, filled with great detail, worldbuilding, and character development. I'm not usually a sci-fi guy, but this series is seriously good. A bit long though, so those who lack patience may not enjoy it. There's plenty of action for those who wait.-Ivan Rocks ('24)
Set in the mystical land of Awara, a fantastical realm loosely based on feudal Japan and Japanese mythology, Traci Chee's A Thousand Steps into Night regales readers with a lighthearted yet impactful coming-of-age story about a loud, stubborn, tomboyish girl named Miuko. Her personality obviously goes against the grain of what society expects of her, and such standards are evidently oppressive for such a free spirit as her; however, Chee is not afraid to show Miuko's fallibility, showcasing her mistakes, rash decisions, distrust, and inexperience on her path toward saving herself from the demon's curse. With the help of friends she accumulates throughout the story, our protagonist learns not only to combat society but also to master herself. I highly recommend this book for its excellent world building, colorful cast of characters, amusing character interactions, and themes about humans and society; some reviews online even compare A Thousand Steps into Night to productions by Studio Ghibli, and I cannot help but agree that the vibes are there. -Gabriel Santos ('24)
This book was great, an amazing way to see what motivated and drove Malcolm X, a very real historical figure, to take action. It was interesting for me to see the conditions that African-Americans had to live in, in a closer and more cruel way than I have seen in other books. What intrigued me the most, however, was how the book dove deep into Malcolm's philosophies, his inner mind and way of thinking. It helped me to reflect on my own beliefs, it helped me understand different views, different motivations, different points of view. -Andre Concepcion ('25)
The book's premise was pretty interesting in how humans were becoming obsolete due to advanced tech taking human
Jemisin's work The Fifth Season was a cryptic yet rewarding read. The use of the second person narration—something that is almost rarely seen in modern literature—and was a risk that allowed me to feel more immersed in the foreign world of the "Stillness." The story began a bit slower than Dune in my opinion; however, as different parts of Essun's life began to connect, I was invested. Even from the beginning, fantasy was overwhelmed by a general sense of dread as the reader is reminded of the insignificance of a dying planet's inhabitants. -Aidan Maione ('24)
