It sounds crazy to think I have anything in common with a black woman from the South Side of Chicago who became First Lady, but we came of age at the same time, and I can relate to so much of her story and her thoughts!Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-2365371193006656992019-11-21T09:55:16.797-05:002019-11-21T09:55:16.797-05:00I agree, Jane - loved Bird By Bird (and probably t...I agree, Jane - loved Bird By Bird (and probably time for a re-read). I also enjoyed Operating Instructions since I read it when my first son was a baby :)<br /><br />Interesting about Becoming. I don't actually know anything about the Obamas as a couple or their history before he became President, so I'm finding it fascinating. Love that he was late to his first day of work and that he leaves his clothes on the ground! ha haSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-41246444664827427322019-11-21T09:53:12.580-05:002019-11-21T09:53:12.580-05:00It is SO good!

I’ve read a few Anne Lamott’s but nothing can compare with her Bird by Bird, which I have read a few times.<br /><br />For some reason, I stalled on Becoming about a third into it—maybe because I already know the story after she and Barack become a couple. I know so many people love the book, but I found myself wanting to read other books where I didn’t know the story already.<br /><br />One of these years, I have got to make time for non-fiction November.
