Barack Obama's year-end list of book recommendations is here. The former president this week continued his annual tradition of sharing his favorite reads of the year. The list of 15
titles — 11 new and four carried over from his summer recommendations — features various genres, including fiction, history and memoir. "If you're looking for a new book over the
holidays, give one of them a try," Obama wrote. "And if you can, shop at an independent bookstore or check them out at your local library." Of course, there's also a
third way to check out Obama's recommendations: audiobook. Subscribers to the Spotify streaming service have access to all but three of the titles on the list for no additional cost to
their $14.99 monthly charge. The three titles that aren't included with a Spotify Premium subscription are the following: * "King: A Life" by Jonathan Eig * "The Covenant
of Water" by Abraham Verghese * "This Other Eden" by Paul Harding Here are Obama's favorite books from 2023 that can be listened to for free on Spotify. "THE HEAVEN
