Recent books

In honor of the Rabbi!
I am a guy in high school, and I am debating between various recent books – which ones are better to invest time in:
Shev Shematata, Sha’arei Yashar, The Virtues for the Study of Halacha, Maraches, Novels by Rabbi Chaim Halevi, Lubhav Mordechai, Avi Ezri (\Other Books).
What does the Rabbi think is more worth focusing on?
Thank you, have a good week.
