Who Is Barack Obama? | Roberta Edwards, Who Hq

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

thewallflower0707 Probably unpopular opinion but I think it‘s really weird that he is still doing this 4mo
squirrelbrain As always, I think his lists are great. I‘ve read 4, own another 2 that are imminent, and a few others were already on my radar. 4mo
MittenGirlPeach Looks like a terrific list. I‘ve got several in my TBR pile. 4mo

Sapphire I really need to get to the Wager. I have it around here somewhere! lol 4mo
Hooked_on_books I always enjoy seeing his picks. I‘ve read 9 of these and would agree that 8 are very good. This Other Eden didn‘t work for me. 4mo
Chelsea.Poole Gah! I love when he does this 🥰 thanks for posting!! 4mo
TheKidUpstairs @Hooked_on_books The Other Eden didn't work for me, either, glad I'm not the only one. There are some here that I've been really looking forward to, and some that weren't on my radar at all. 4mo

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

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?
