Soul Searching
by Lyla Sage
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I started reading Lyla Sage when the local bookstore had a bookclub reading of the first Rebel Blue Ranch book. I read through the whole series and loved the world that was created and the development of the characters. Soul Searching was the first book of what I assume is going to be another great Lyla Sage series. She continues to have great character development, descriptive world building, and engaging storyline. I’m not usually one for ghost and the supernatural, but this felt so natural and I actually really enjoyed it.

Fighting words

This story made me reflect on what it truly means to grow up. It reveals how imperfect adults can leave deep wounds on children, but it also reminds us that hope can still shine through, even in the darkest moments.

Didn’t love this book, but didn’t hate it. I feel like it had a lot of potential but unfortunately the pacing was just too slow for my liking.

This is the last Heartstopper book and as I’m sad to see the series end, I’m really happy about how it ended and turned out. The whole series is amazing and if someone hasn’t read it they really should.

The 57 Bus
by Dashka Slater

book cover


This book was recommended to me by my friend and I loved it. It tells the story of Sasha, who's skirt gets set on fire while taking the 57 Bus on the way home from school, and Richard, the boy who did set the skirt on fire and initially got accused of a hate crime. It goes through both students' perspectives and also provides background information that relates to their story. It shows the complexity of people and is just an amazing read. I would recommend this book to everyone as I believe it is an important book just to read. I would also recommend to people who have read Accountable, which is by the same author. If you like the 57 bus, you should also read Accountable.

Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power
by Jon Meacham
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Jon Meacham portrays Jefferson not as an aloof, dispassionate philosopher, but as a masterful, pragmatic politician. The book explores how Jefferson brilliantly navigated turbulent partisanship and compromised his strict ideological dogmas to build America into a continental power. The most eye-opening part of this book about Jefferson was that he addresses the profound contradictions in Jefferson’s life, particularly his stance on slavery. Though Jefferson recognized the moral evil of slavery, he owned slaves and had a long-term sexual relationship with Sally Hemings. The book tackles this duality to create a more human and complex portrait of the Founding Father. My reading focus for 2026 has been a deep dive back into American history. Re-learning these stories has been incredibly rewarding, and it’s a journey I plan to continue long after the year ends.
