Melania Trump’s memoir, “Melania,” has been one of this year’s best sellers. It explores Donald Trump as well as his youth and years in the White House. The 184-page memoir documents her career as a model in Europe and her subsequent journey to America, particularly New York, a city she loved.

The book was also a Barnes & Noble best seller, indicating that it has been successful across multiple vendors and platforms
“I believe it is important to share my perspective, the truth, especially in these times of division and uncertainty,” reads the book’s foreword.
“As a private person who has often been the subject of public scrutiny and misrepresentation, I feel a responsibility to set the record straight and provide a true account of my experience.”

“Melania” has gone out with several eye-catching memoirs, including Riley Keefe and Lisa Marie Presley’s “From Here to the Great Unknown” and Ina Garten’s “Be Ready When the Luck Happens.”
That week, “Melania” rose to the top, ranking as the number one bestseller The New York Times list
Other political books and memoirs have done well since the election, highlighting the polarizing climate the country is facing. These include “Hillbilly Elegy,” the memoir of our soon-to-be Vice President JD Vance, and “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health,” by Robert F. Kennedy.
Dystopian fiction is also experiencing a good sales moment with books like Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaiden’s Tale”, George Orwell’s “1984” and Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451” increasing their sales by significant margins.
