I'm loving @michelleobama 's memoir Becoming.Thoughtful, inspiring and surprisingly relatable. It's everything I thought it would be and then some. This also marks the first time I'm listening to an audiobook rather than reading, which is unexpectedly pleasant experience. #bookstoread #bookrecommendation #michelleobama #becoming #audiobooks #readersofig #bookstagram

A truly delightful and inspiring novella exploring ageing, loss and friendship. Like a Mule Bringing Ice Cream to the Sun gave me all the feels 🙂🙂. Highly recommended!
