Michelle Obama Extends Book Tour As Sales Top 3M

People Magazine reports:

“I couldn’t be more excited to visit even more cities across the country and around the world,” the former first lady, 54, said in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE about the additions to the final leg of her book tour, Becoming: An Intimate Conversation with Michelle Obama.

Even before its publication, Mrs. Obama’s memoir Becoming made headlines. Her candid reflections about her childhood, how she struggled to balance her career as a high-powered lawyer and mother, and the challenges she’s faced during her marriage to former President Barack Obama and as first lady, have captivated the nation.

Rocketing to the number one spot on the New York Times bestseller list after one week, the hardcover edition has sold more copies than any other book published in the U.S. in 2018, according to the tour’s press release. More than three million copies of Becoming have sold in the U.S. and Canada alone.
