The moment’s reading lists: Barbie and Barack

You can never have too long of a to-be-read list, right?

So if yours is wilting a little bit this summer, here are two lists to perk it back up.

In honor of a certain blockbuster movie that's just freshly out, Electric Lit recommends eight books for every era of Barbie.

(And in case anyone already saw the movie, Literary Hub looked into it, and the books that Ken comes across in the movie don't appear to exist.)

On a less cheeky note, the books former President Barack Obama is reading this summer has come out, too.
