Thanks for your responses! Ben, I think I'm going to pick that Wheat Belly book. Abigail, a friend of mine had recommended Essentialism a while back and I had forgotten, so thank you!

I just found the book recommendation for Blood and Earth: Modern Slavery, Ecocide, and the Secret to Saving the World and I think I'm going to be reading it for my "book on a current issue" category. It would also work for a book published in 2016.

Also came across this book for my "memoir" book, but it could be a book published this year as well.
The Hundred-Year Walk: An Armenian Odyssey
