Here’s a list of books Barack Obama has been reading this past year

Here is some interesting news you bookworms out there are going to love. So POTUS 44th shared with his fans on Facebook what he has been reading in 2018. Looking at his list, it looks pretty cool and will give any reader some good insight and fresh perspective on life.

“As 2018 draws to a close, I’m continuing a favorite tradition of mine and sharing my year-end lists. It gives me a moment to pause and reflect on the year through the books, movies, and music that I found most thought-provoking, inspiring, or just plain loved. It also gives me a chance to highlight talented authors, artists, and storytellers – some who are household names and others who you may not have heard of before. Here’s my best of 2018 list – I hope you enjoy reading, watching, and listening.” – said Obama in a Facebook post.

At the very top of his list is his wife Michelle Obama’s recent book, Becoming.
