Here's a book I truly had no interest in reading. At All. Events conspired, however, and the timing was right so I decided to give it a try. 1. I'd just finished a wonderful, charming, delightful new author/series, you see. I always feel a bit bad for whatever book might follow something like that, it would have a lot to live up to, after all! 2. Kiwi had recently loaned me another book of a common theme, and, 3.Tall Reader's cousin passed this book on to her, and since she had grand kids coming and knew she wouldn't have much time to read so she passed it on to me ... I found myself taking a look at, and then reading Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man, by Mary L. Trump. (It's not really a 'tell all' regardless of what some news folks are saying). That's Dr. Trump, by the way, the author has a PH.D in Advanced Psychological Studies. It's rather like a train wreck ... it was hard to look away! This is a terrible family ... toxic, dysfunctional, unloving ... it explains a lot about the current POTUS, and why he should NOT be in the White House.

Now, just before this, Kiwi had loaned me The Trump Survival Guide: Everything You Need to Know About Living Through What You Hoped Would Never Happen, by Gene Stone (and several other contributors listed on the title page). This came out after the election, but before the inauguration and still the author was spot on most of the time. There are chapters on Civil Rights, Education, Energy, Environment, Immigration, and many more. There's a brief history of each, followed by what Obama did, and what the new president was likely to do, or at least try. Each chapter ends with what you can do to help keep some really bad possibilities from happening.

Naturally (well, to me, anyway), I thought I should include The Wit and Wisdom of Donald Trump, by Jack Knoff. It is a totally blank book. ;-) (It turns out there are several versions, by different authors ....!!)

The lack of an image of any book on this post is intentional.
