Listened to the audio book and had the pleasure taking my daughter to see Michelle last month. So good!❤️

@Excel no we were so far up. It was interesting because Jimmy Kimmel was there too so it was more like a conversation than a speech. She is very inspiring. ?
Awesome!

On my pile
Currently reading as well.
Currently reading. So far I am enjoying it. I hope it doesn’t get too political before it’s over.
I’m sorry but I’m not a fan of Michelle Obama so I will pass on this one. I really like more historical bios of women during the civil war and the making of our country European monarchs.
She is such an inspiration and a national treasure.
A wonderful book by a wonderful woman!
I listened to the book! She read it.. It was so great
I wouldn’t read that ever.
Why? It is a great book.
@Excel Many people admire Michelle Obama but many do not. I would imagine those who like her will be inspired by her memoir. Others will not.
Exactly.
@Sharon I won’t be reading it either. ?
I’m listening now. It’s absolutely wonderful!
It was an incredible book
It’s a great read. I’ve read most of the First Ladies books and find this one to be one of the best
I saw her when she was doing her tour. She is amazing!
I just saw her in Tacoma. She is as gracious live as she is in her book. One of the smartest and most accomplished people out there.
Awesome! Did you take a photo?
@Excel of course. Jimmy Kimmel was the host and there were several local celebrities who came out and said a word or two.
I really enjoyed it
I was listening to the audiobook, but not really into it.
No.
You haven’t?
I loved the book and just got the audiobook!
I’m listening to the audiobook at 1.25 speed. I love her gravitas but sometimes she talks too slow for my liking ? I love it! Feel like I’m finding out so much more about her and her family (had no clue she was a lawyer before her powerhouse of a husband was)
It’s on my want-to-reads list.
I am reading it now!!!
One of the best biographies I have ever read.
Yes!!!

Wonderful book! And not just for women or Democrats.
Loved it. Authentic. Inspiring. Interesting. Relatable we’re the same age. Both had daughters.
Loved it so much – bought six of them!!! Such an inspiration – miss them both so much
I started to and would have kept on reading, but I am in the middle of a project, so I had to stop, but I will go back, it is such a great book.
I agree with you.
It was wonderful, like she was telling me.
I’m working on it… have it on my Nook, which I tend to read only while traveling.
I really enjoyed jt
Very good. I listened to it on audiobook and narrated by Michelle Obama
I enjoyed her book. Read it in 3 days.
Loved this book! It felt authentic and had a depth of reflection that I haven’t really seen in other autobiographies. I love Michelle, but I didn’t expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. I felt I learned a lot, too. I’d highly recommend it.
Read, liked it
It’s great and so inspiring. The audiobook is read by the author and that makes it extra special!
I loved it!
Would like to
I’m not a fan of hers but thought the book was good.
Liked the book but though it dragged a bit
Currently reading and loving it!
Loved it!
I really enjoyed it.
I am listening to her narrate it! 🙂
Great book she is a class act
Our entire book club loved it!
LOVED IT! Finished listening to it today. Did I say that I LOVED IT?!
No.
So amazing! I love her even more after reading the book!
I absolutely loved this book. I got it on audio, and its like shes talking to you. I have always liked her, but now I really LIKE her.
Great book! Especially loved the story of Barack’s proposal!
I am overwhelmed with your comments.
Great!
Happy reading!
Got the book for Christmas and enjoyed reading it very much. Michelle is very candid and honest.
I agree!
It’s beside the bed waiting!
Me too but I am still online
I want to read it – but have not yet
Loved that book. She is such a classy lady. I would love to meet her.
I’m 88 on the list at my library so that should tell you something. I’m looking forward to it.
Awwn!
Lol I’m 82 ?
I just finished it. It’s very current, very well written, a really good read. What I’m begininig to know is that when I buy a book that’s politically current, by the time that you actually begin to read the book and then finish it, all the political issues that hae
all the political issues are not current anymore. If your are obsessed with current political stuff, I think better to just watch it on TV as it unfolds. If you buy the current book, it wi be outdated in just bout 20 minutes. Of course, if you really want the background …..?????
@Lisa I’m about the same. Can’t wait. I may have to buy it. ?
@Kathryn I thought the same.
Enjoyed her book.
Just started it today and am loving it.
I loved it! It was easy to read. Regardless of your political views, Michele is an incredible woman, and has a wonderful story to tell,and does it exquisitely
Loved it!!! She doesn’t dress it up too much and is painfully and poignantly candid and real in discussing all facets of her life.
Read it and loved it.
Loved it and “read” it with Audible because she does the narration. It was really a good read, and one I will “read” again.
Absolutely loved it-she is so down to earth and inspiring. I can’t wait for Barack’s book to come out.
Enjoyed it very much.
Me! Amazing! Intelligently written and eye opening. A truly gifted and compelling woman of our time.
Just started it and enjoying it
I stills will `never read it. A woman who never took pride in her country before b. O. A woman who thinks Beyonce is a great role model for little girls.
No i havent wish i could get my hands with a copy
I’m listening to it. I almost never listen to books, but I wanted to hear her read it. It’s wonderful. (As an aside, I’m seeing her speak Sunday night here in London, and I can’t wait!)
@Excel thnx!!
I’ve avoided any discussion on this book because of the potential to be so politically charged. But I am curious… for those who have read it, how much of the book is political? Is this book about Michelle Obama, or is it about the politics during the Obamas’ terms in the White House? While I may not agree with the Obamas political convictions, I have always admired both of them for various reasons, politics aside. (I don’t discuss politics, especially not online… it tends to get too ugly. I firmly believe that we can disagree without being ugly toward each other, but I’ve found that often times others can’t. So I just refrain. But I truly am curious.)
@Tricia I found that it focuses on her life and perseverance through her career. It does talk about her husband being elected, what life in the spotlight was like, and what their life in the White House was like, but it did not discuss specific political views in any way
@Danielle Thanks!!
@Danielle I agree!
Listened to the audible version and absolutely loved it
To be clear, although I’m fairly negative about M.o. book, I rarely read any political persons autobiography. Time seems to calm the storms or answer questions.
I think it showed a lot of courage how she allowed herself to be so vulnerable in sharing both the good and bad aspects to her life. This is about Michelle, nothing else. I already respected her, the book just reinforced that. She was a regular person, just like everyone else. She experienced job changes, deaths of people close to her and struggling with jobs, kids, family life at the same time trying to be supportive to her husband who was determined to work his way to the Whitehouse. They were broke, struggling to make ends meet just like most of us. Loved this book.
I thought the book was great. I think it’s interesting to find out people’s backgrounds. Plus I thought it was interesting to get the “behind the scenes” look at the running for office, being First Lady, and living in the White House.
I am reading it and I am thoroughly enjoying it!
I just finished the book and thought it was great.
nope
It was an honest memory, I think. Honesty being rare these days.
I read and I found it interesting and informative. I was impressed by her candor and transparency. I think that the country was fortunate to have her as FLOTUS for 8 years.
She makes a lot of sense and I found myself nodding in agreement in lots of the situations she described.
Very interesting!
On my summer list
Loving it and really makes me miss the Obama’s in office.
Made me feel relaxed. I really enjoyed it.
