It’s the end of March, so Gayle and Nicole take stock of the reading they’ve done so far this year, now that it’s one-quarter over. They also check in on various reading challenges and see how those are coming along. They are at Round 3 of the March Book Madness competition! We narrow our matchups down to the final two. Who will win?
[Halfway through the show, they also held their book club discussion about Michelle Obama’s memoir, Becoming, one of their favorite books of the year. They talk about how the book was written, the stories and images we found most memorable, our favorite section, and whether Michelle’s book changed our opinions of Barack. (Spoiler alert: they still love both of them.)]
