Barack Obama’s year-end list of book recommendations is here.
The former president this week continued his annual tradition of sharing his favorite reads of the year.
The list of 15 titles — 11 new and four carried over from his summer recommendations — features various genres, including fiction, history and memoir.
“If you’re looking for a new book over the holidays, give one of them a try,” Obama wrote. “And if you can, shop at an independent bookstore or check them out at your local library.”
Of course, there’s also a third way to check out Obama’s recommendations: audiobook.
Subscribers to the Spotify streaming service have access to all but three of the titles on the list for no additional cost to their $14.99 monthly charge.
The three titles that aren’t included with a Spotify Premium subscription are the following:
- “King: A Life” by Jonathan Eig
- “The Covenant of Water” by Abraham Verghese
- “This Other Eden” by Paul Harding
Here are Obama’s favorite books from 2023 that can be listened to for free on Spotify.
