If you’re like us, you love to get stuck into a new book (or three) each month.
We’ve teamed up with the fabulous people at Dymocks for our monthly book club filled with everything you need to read for the month ahead.
These are our picks for the books to read in February.
BECOMING by Michelle Obama
Former American First Lady Michelle Obama shares her own story in this warm and honest memoir. Powerful and intimate, the work features anecdotes and deeply personal stories from her childhood on the south side of Chicago, through to her career, motherhood, life in the White House and beyond.
From one of the most iconic, inspirational and compelling women of our era, Becoming ($49.99) is a must-read – with its message of empowerment, finding your voice and your courage, and embarking on the journey to become the person you aspire to be.
Says Michelle, “It has allowed me, for the very first time, the space to honestly reflect on the unexpected trajectory of my life.”
