Former President Barack Obama released his summer reading list on Friday, continuing a tradition from his time in the White House.
"While we were still in the White House, I began sharing my summer favorites -- and now, it's become a little tradition that I look forward to sharing with you all. So here's this year's offering. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did," Obama said on multiple social platforms.
Here are the 11 books Obama recommends people read this summer:
"AT NIGHT ALL BLOOD IS BLACK" BY DAVID DIOP
The historic fiction novel details the dark tale of a Senegalese soldier's experience fighting for the French during World War I. The story -- originally written in French -- was translated to English by Anna Moschovakis and won the 2021 International Booker Prize.
