I am on a good start in trying
to finish my 25 books by the end of the year.
That is only two books a month
which is not so much of a demand, though it requires me to get the ball rolling
on the reading thing. I mean, we are already in month two of the year. But I
think I can do it.
I finally finished reading
Becoming by Michelle Obama and must say that it is an excellent book. 448
pages of words that are both engaging and inspiring as she talks about her life, her family, and being a part of the first black family to ever be situated in a presidential role.
I laughed at times. Sometimes even found myself surprised at her remarks. Her words are edgy, provocative and motivating; especially for woman like me. Perhaps it would be a great book for young school aged girls to read as they journey into their purposes in this world.
My favorite thought in the book was, “If we belong than so too can many others. I’m an ordinary person who found herself on an extraordinary journey. In sharing my story, I hope to help to create space for other stories and other voices to widen the pathway to who belongs and why” (Michelle Obama).

The audio book is even better
because it’s read by the author who reads and projects different emotions and
nuances with her voice, as the story unfolds. Love, Love, Love it!!! I listened as I drove, cooked in the kitchen or did cleaning around the house. The book never got boring and kept me interested in listening more and more.
