Book #12 was "Between the World and Me" by Ta-nehisi Coates, a National Book Award winner. My husband read this as a paper book and recommended it to me. I listened to it as an audiobook as read by the author and was blown away by it consistently. It is a very brief (only 3 discs on audibook) book written in the form of a letter to Coates' teenage son, looking back on what it means to be black in America and talking about his hopes and fears for his son. This is so powerful. Just read it.
