Bibliophile Alert: Michelle Obama to Release Her Next Book Later This Year

Calling our fellow bookworms! Put down your Kindle, audiobooks and hard copies because we have some very exciting news. USA’s former first lady Michelle Obama has announced the release of her next book titled The Light We Carry. This will serve as the official follow-up to her 2018 bestselling book, Becoming (which sold 17 million copies worldwide and even won a Grammy award for its audio version).

The Light We Carry is a 336-page book through which Michelle shares a series of stories and insightful reflections on change, challenge and power. According to Variety, the book’s intro reads, “I’ve learned it’s okay to recognize that self-worth comes wrapped in vulnerability, and that what we share as humans on this earth is the impulse to strive for better, always and no matter what. We become bolder in brightness.” She added, “If you know your light, you know yourself. You know your own story in an honest way… One engaged community can ignite those around it. This is the power of the light we carry.”
