Former first lady Michelle Obama discusses her book “Becoming” with Sarah Jessica Parker at Barclays Center in December. By Stephanie Merry Stephanie Merry Book World editor Email Bio Follow March 26 at 10:07 AM Sales for Michelle Obama’s memoir “Becoming” continue to skyrocket. According to publisher Penguin Random House, the book has sold more than 10 million copies — including hardcover, audiobooks and e-books — since its November release.
The success of the book has been bolstered by a book tour to end all book tours, which has taken her to arenas around the country, including Washington’s Tacoma Dome Sunday, where she spoke to a crowd of more than 18,000 people, according to the Tacoma News Tribune.
The tour, like the book, has been extremely popular. Tickets, which started at $29.95 and peaked in the thousands for special VIP access , were quickly snapped up, prompting the former first lady to extend what started as a 10-city tour to include an additional 21 stops. Next up, she’ll be appearing in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Paris, among other cities, before returning to the States and finishing her tour in Nashville on May 12 with a discussion moderated by Stephen Colbert.
