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:

1. Grant by Ron Chernow
2. Between The World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
3. Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
4. The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg
5. Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
