Barack Obama’s Memoir Release Date?
While many were expecting Former President Barack Obama’s post-White House memoir to release this year it is now being speculated that we’ll be waiting until 2020. Ya know the year of the next U.S. presidential election–which I’m assuming is a coincidence because he just hasn’t finished writing it yet. I mean he is having to follow in Michelle Obama’s writing footsteps, that’s a lot of pressure.
Watchmen Teaser!

And Another A Christmas Carol
