pickMichelle is an inspiring woman and she gives her down to earth life advice in this memoir. Reading it, it‘s almost as if you‘re sitting in the room with her, one on one. Takeaway: we must always be each other‘s light. And when the lights go out, keep going.
I haven‘t been nearly as active on Litsy as I‘d like to be; from surprise gallbladder surgery in September, to two of the library‘s biggest events of the year within two weeks of each other, with jury duty in between, it‘s been a busy few months! But I‘m taking advantage of a day off today to look through this beautiful celebration of the incomparable First Lady Michelle Obama. God, what a queen. #michelleobama #theobamayears #amandalucidon

bailedI'm sorry, I bailed after she had been at The White House a while. It was a fascinating insight into a mindset and way of being that she developed through a determined childhood and adolescence. The rise to power was great to read, but I think she should have stopped there - I get why she didn't, as she is more than just a First Lady and wouldn't want to be defined as having 'made it' when she entered the White House - I just stopped caring. Good.
