Best audible books of all time

There are two things I can’t resist.

One, a book that’s a crazy bestseller. You show me a book bandwagon, and I’m hopping right on.

Two, a book about First Ladies. Exhibit A: Upstairs at the White House.

So the chances of me skipping Becoming, Michelle Obama’s new book?

Zero percent chance.

I also knew that Becoming was a book I wanted to experience as an audiobook because Michelle Obama reads it herself and there’s nothing I like more than hearing a book read by the author (assuming, of course, the author is a decent reader).

I started listening over Christmas break while I wrapped presents and spent the next couple of weeks listening in all my spare time.

It turns out, I knew next to nothing about Michelle Obama.

If you’d asked me what I knew about her, I probably could have told you she was a lawyer and that she planted a garden at the White House as part of a healthy eating initiative.

I also knew she’d made headlines by wearing pretty reasonably priced dresses to many appearances.

Aside from that? Just about nothing.
