My Summer 2021 Lists
Nothing beats sitting down with a good book in the summer, whether you're camping on the beach or cuddled up on the couch on a wet day. I started sharing my summer favorites when we were still in the White House, and it's turned into a little ritual that I look forward to sharing with you all. So, without further ado, here are some of the novels I've recently finished. I hope you have as much fun with them as I did.
