The New Classrooms team always finds time to ignite their brains by diving into the depths of a new book. Recently, we’ve noticed an increased number of books sitting on the desks of our collaborative workspace - fiction and nonfiction pages, bookmarked with sticky notes, just waiting for the subway ride home. Sometimes the books make a mid-day debut at lunch or before a virtual meeting, giving colleagues the opportunity for impromptu conversations about literary devices and learning something new.

Check out just a few of the books that we’re geeking out over:
- Grant by Ron Chernow
- Between The World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
- Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
- The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg
- Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
- The Smartest Kids in the World by Amanda Ripley
- When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanthi
- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
- Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
- Grit by Angela Duckworth
