Former PresidentBarack Obamahas released his annual best-of list, which includes the books, movies and music he enjoyed in 2018 — and he didn’t miss an opportunity to shout-out his better half.
“As 2018 draws to a close, I’m continuing a favorite tradition of mine and sharing my year-end lists. It gives me a moment to pause and reflect on the year through the books, movies, and music that I found most thought-provoking, inspiring, or just plain loved,” Obamawrote on Facebook on Friday.
“It also gives me a chance to highlight talented authors, artists, and storytellers – some who are household names and others who you may not have heard of before,” he continued.
He listed wifeMichelle Obama‘s memoir,Becoming, as the first of his favorite books.
“Obviously my favorite!” he wrote in parentheses of the book, released earlier this yearto smash sales. (“I am proud of what I’ve created,” Mrs. Obama said earlier this year, adding, “I’m also a little frightened because it is so candid and honest and open.”)
