My Top 5 Books of 2020
The world stopped in 2020 and lots of plans were cancelled. A positive of this is it helped me read a lot more than normal! Here are my top 5 books that I read in 2020, and would recommend to everyone!
Becoming — Michelle Obama
The first book of my top 5 is this beautifully written memoir, from the former first lady of the United States.
Released in 2018, this book has topped Book charts across the world — an achievement which I think is well deserved!
Okay, so I was a little late to the party with this one, but if for some reason you are reading this and you HAVEN’T read this — Please do!
This book is Michelle’s story — from her early days on the South Side of Chicago to her 8 year stay at the White House, this book gives us her truth. The good, the bad and the hilarious.
This beautifully written memoir is inspirational, educational and political. Whether the Obama’s are your political cup of tea or not — this book gives you the real story of Michelle and Barack’s journey to the White House and beyond.
I listened to this book on Audible, and let me tell you — hearing Michelle herself tell me her story was nothing short of incredible. So if you dread the idea of sitting and reading a 400 page memoir, the audio book will definitely deliver for you!
Star rating: ***** (5/5)

It is human nature to have regrets, but only the Midnight Library gives you the option of seeing your life as a parallel — the life you could have lived if you had made a different…
