Obama's 2023 list is out! As always, he reads a wide and varied selection of genres. Thoughts?

repost for @PuddleJumper:
June #roll100 is here! I'm slammed next week and wanted to get it early rather than late.
Dice inspired by this cute sticker a friend got me.
Roll 1 = 70
Roll 2 = 2
Roll 3 = 18
Tag me at @puddlejumper so I can see what you are all reading! Have fun!

I read this with my #bookclub this month. It was an interesting look into his family background and life growing up. Obama ponders the different facets of race that played a part in his upbringing and how it affected the way he sees the world and himself, with a mixed family background.
#OnThisDay in 1995 a little known law professor published his first memoir. One year later he was elected to the Illinois Senate. Twelve years after that, his message of hope led him to the Presidency. "You might be locked into a world not of your own making … but you still have a claim on how it is shaped." #HistoryGetsLIT
My books for #Roll100 this month. I only signed up for 1 number but I may try to do both anyway.
I finished Dreams from My Father today and then turned around and discussed the first half of Between the World and Me with one of my groups on Facebook. Definitely some moving moments in both books and really giving me some reflections on the state of the world. I love that one of Obama‘s speeches is included at the end of his memoir.
Life is always more hopeful with the Obama‘s around. 😏 I‘ve read Becoming, but I am so happy to own my own copy (still thinking the audiobook is also necessary). I haven‘t read either of Barack‘s books yet, but what better time?
