Continuing my New Year’s Resolutions with my “Leaders are Readers” Reading Challenge. Trying to be consistent in reading at least 2 new book each month this year.
What’s the most interesting, engaging book you’ve read this past year? Please leave a recommendation below so I can consider it for my book reading list this year.

Room looks like a raw / disturbing story. My daughter is in the book club, and said it was a good one. I know it came out as a movie as well, so the basic storyline must be intriguing enough!

I just finished The Great Fire: One American’s Mission to Rescue Victims of the 20th Century’s First Genocide, which offers some hard but also uplifting historical precedent for today’s Middle East crisis.

@Rob Seems like you’re a history buff? Quite an interesting description: “The harrowing story of a Methodist Minister and a principled American naval officer who helped rescue more than 250,000 refugees during the genocide of Armenian and Greek Christians—a tale of bravery, morality, and politics, published to coincide with the genocide’s centennial.”
