Michelle Obama set for book tour

Michelle Obama will visit 10 U.S. cities to promote her memoir Becoming, a tour featuring arenas and other performing centres to accommodate crowds far too big for any bookstore. The former U.S. first lady will begin at the United Center in her native Chicago on Nov. 13, the book’s release date. She will finish at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Dec. 17, Live Nation and The Crown Publishing Group said Wednesday. Obama and former U.S. president Barack Obama each have been working on memoirs, for which they negotiated a multimillion dollar deal with Crown. No date has been set for his book, although it’s expected in 2019.
