Summer is coming to an end soon and to celebrate it, former President Barack Obama shared his reading list. Keep reading to find out Barack Obama’s 2024 summer reading list and what you should be reading too!
I am always excited to see what books make Obama’s summer and end of year books lists. He has a pulse on what’s new and always has great selections. And this year is no different. There are some must reads here that I can’t wait to read.
The list is divided into fiction and nonfiction which I think is great. Both of these lists offer different things and will be easy for readers to choose what they are in the mood for. A lot of these novels are going to see an uptick in sale because of this list. You can see the full list below!
