As every year, the former president of the United States has shared through posts on Instagram one list of his favorite books and another with this year’s favorite songs.

"Whether you're on the beach or on the couch on a rainy day, there's nothing better than sitting down with a great book over the summer. While we were still at the White House, I started sharing my summer favorites - "Over the years, it has become a small tradition that I look forward to sharing with all of you. So, I'm showing you some of the books I've read recently. I hope you enjoy them as much as possible," he wrote.

But not only that, Obama a few days later published a top list of songs.

"There are many reasons to celebrate this summer. I have put together a list of some of the songs I have been listening to lately. It is a mix of old and new names."
