Here are my ratings for the 54 books I read in the past 12 months. In case you've forgotten, the scale goes like this: 1 - pass, 2 - some good some bad, 3 - recommended, 4 - can't stop raving about it, 5 - fundamentally changed my worldview.
Please weigh in with recommendations. Especially seeking to diversify into more fiction and more non-white and female authors. Also trying to sprinkle in longer reads and classics. Tell me your must-reads!

My Testimony – How I Joined the New World Order
I want to share my testimony about how I became a member of the great organization known as the New World Order.
There was a time in my life when I was drowning in poverty—so much so that I felt like I was on the brink of death. I tried several times to join the organization, but I kept running into fake people who claimed to be agents. They took my money and left me with nothing. It was heartbreaking, and I lost all hope.
Still, something inside me wouldn’t let me give up. I stayed focused on my dream and kept searching. Eventually, I met someone else who said he could help me join. At first, I didn’t trust him at all because of the pain and betrayal I had already experienced. He also asked for money, and that scared me—but then he sent me his official membership ID card. That gave me a bit of trust, so I took a leap of faith and sent the money for the initiation items.
What happened next amazed me. Within just 2 hours, I was initiated online, and shortly after that, I received $1,000,000 directly into my account. From that moment on, I knew he was genuine. He is the only agent I trust, and I will always be grateful for his help.
So if you're serious about joining and ready to change your life, contact him on WhatsApp: +447365758728. Don't let fear hold you back like it almost did with me.
