Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing my annual list of favorites — books, films, and music — with all of you. This has become a fun little tradition for me, and I hope it is for you, too. Because while each of us has plenty that keeps us busy—work and family life, social and volunteer commitments—outlets like literature and art can enhance our day-to-day experiences. They’re the fabric that helps make up a life—the album that lifts us up after a long day, the dog-eared paperback we grab off the shelf to give to a friend, the movie that makes us think and feel in a new way, works that simply help us escape for a bit. To start, here are the books that made the last year a little brighter for me. Most of them came out in 2019, but a few were older ones that were new to me this year. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Ia melanjutkan, "Karena walaupun masing-masing dari kita memiliki banyak hal yang membuat kita sibuk — pekerjaan dan kehidupan keluarga, aksi sosial dan sukarela — outlet seperti sastra dan seni dapat meningkatkan pengalaman kita sehari-hari."
Dalam daftar yang ia bagikan, terdapat 19 buku termasuk "Trick Mirror" karya Jia Tolentino, "How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy" karya Jenny Odell, dan "The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: Native America from 1890 to the Present" oleh David Treuer.
Obama juga menyertakan buku-buku yang ia rekomendasikan awal tahun ini, termasuk "Finding My Voice," karya Valerie Jarrett, dan "The Moment of Lift" dari Melinda Gates.
Suami dari Michelle Obama itu juga berencana untuk membagikan daftar tahunan film dan musik favoritnya dalam beberapa hari ke depan.
