Susan Rice found herself on the hot seat this week as members of the GOP threatened to block her path to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.

In her book, featured on this week’s list, Rice speaks for herself and spells out her views on keeping America safe. It starts with tackling poverty.

Also this week, we celebrate the birthday of Peanuts creator Charles Schulz by featuring his book about the timeless comic strip with Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy and the whole gang.

We also take at a look at The Central Park jogger case as a new book and documentary explores how race and class sent five young men away for more than a decade for a crime they didn’t commit.
