Due to popular demand last December, Michelle Obama added a grand total of 21 new dates to her book tour for her uber-popular memoir Becoming.

Now, she's revealed an entire new list of star moderators to join her on the 21-stop tour. And the one we can't help but be excited about? Our very own editor-at-large Gayle King, who will be sitting down with the former FLOTUS in Atlanta on May 11. Other guests include Good Morning America's Robin Roberts-who will be making two stops in Canada- celebrity chef Carla Hall in Cleveland, and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel in Tacoma, Washington. You can check out the full list here.

Though it was only released in November, the Oprah's Book Club pick quickly earned the title of 2018's bestselling book, with more than three million copies sold in the U.S. and Canada. Fans can't resist the candor of the former first lady, as she opens up about her childhood in the Southside of Chicago, marriage counseling, and life in-and after-the White House.

"I'm having so much fun with all of you on my #IAmBecoming tour that I decided to do one final round of events to see folks in some cities we missed!" Mrs. Obama wrote in an Instagram post. "These conversations have been so meaningful for me, and I hope they’ve been meaningful for you all, too. Can’t wait to see even more of you in 2019!"

Out of the new 2019 dates, 11 are taking place in the U.S., six in Europe, and four in Canada. Her Paris appearance was rescheduled and added to the lineup as well after the original December date was cancelled, allowing her to attend President George H.W. Bush's funeral services.

Last year the first part of Mrs. Obama's tour sold out within hours. And currently tickets are admittedly extremely limited, so get them while you still can on Ticketmaster.
