Former US President Barack Obama is keeping up with one annual custom as he shared his favorite books of the year 2020.
“As 2020 comes to a close, I wanted to share my annual lists of favorites. I’ll start by sharing my favorite books this year, deliberately omitting what I think is a pretty good book – A Promised Land – by a certain 44th president. I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did,” former US president shared in a tweet.
