Why I chose this book:
New to the list this year, Michelle Obama's biography is a book I've wanted to read since I've learned of its existence late last year. I always figured she'd have an interesting story to tell, so I was happy to add this one to the list when it came to filling in the extra spaces.
Thoughts:
Definitely an interesting story to tell! There's a lot of substance here, and a message of hope and perseverance that I think will always be relevant. I loved the way it was written, and even with all the political stuff I stayed interested throughout.

Verdict: Was it worthy?
Absolutely. A powerful voice, and one I think we could all do to listen to. I can't imagine a time when the themes of her story won't be relevant. Her strength of character is evident, and I think this book will continue to inspire for as long as there are people reading it.
