NEW YORK (AP) — Michelle Obama's "Becoming" has become a massive hit.

Crown Publishing told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the former first lady's memoir has sold more than 1.4 million copies in print and digital formats in the U.S. and Canada in the seven days since it was released Nov. 13.

Based on demand from retailers across all channels, the publisher has printed 3 million hardcover copies in North America. On its first day, the book sold more than 725,000 copies, making it one of the year's biggest debuts.

Crown also said that "Becoming" is currently the No. 1 adult nonfiction title in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Holland, Spain, Denmark and Finland. In Germany, some 200,000 copies have been sold, prompting a second printing of 100,000 copies.

1. I love it though it's not surprising

Except maybe for how fast the sales happened. It makes me feel warm and happy to know the world loves our Michelle as much as we do.

Thanks for posting this good news!

2. You're welcome.

I hope that it also makes the Trumps feel terrible this Thanksgiving. How will Melania's plagiarized memoirs "Be Best"?

3. LOL!

November hasn’t been a good month for the Trumps, and it’s just a prelude!

Their standing in their world has been altered forever, no matter what happens. If they felt they were disliked by high society in the US and all civilized countries before they will soon find out they can’t even crash a party after this. Then what can they do?! That was their modus operandi before the light exposed them.
