Former first lady Michelle Obama made a surprise visit to the Tattered Cover in Denver on Friday, leaving behind several signed copies of her book.
“While in Denver I stopped by the @TatteredCover Book Store and signed some copies of #TheLightWeCarry,” Obama said in a post on X. “I’ve enjoyed these surprise bookstore visits all year long – and this time I decided to bring some people from my team!”

In a video posted by Obama, the former first lady is shown walking into the Tattered Cover on Colfax Avenue, taking a pen from her purse and signing copies of her book on a display table.
“If anyone goes to the Tattered Cover Book Store and finds them, please let us know,” Obama said in the video. “Let us know that you actually received one of the signed book copies.”
The last time Obama visited the Denver bookstore was in 2018 for a signing of her book “Becoming” before she spoke at the Pepsi Center, now Ball Arena, and visited Children’s Hospital Colorado.
“Hopefully the next time I talk to you it will be somewhere across the country, at a bookstore near you,” Obama said. “Until then, be kind to each other and don’t forget to vote, vote, vote.”
