“2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, & Isaac Arnsdorf (Penguin Press)
The book “2024” became an instant New York Times bestseller by taking the reader behind the scenes to reveal the inner workings of the Biden, Harris, and Trump campaigns. Despite civil lawsuits, criminal indictments, and two attempts on Trump’s life, he disposed of his primary challengers, went on to easily defeat Vice President Kamala Harris in the general election and become the 47th president. “‘2024’ is a well-paced, thorough and often (darkly) humorous account of the two-year campaign season that began when Donald Trump announced he was running for president again,” said the New York Times in its review. “Plenty of thrilling fly-on-the-wall moments.” [Nonfiction]
“Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America’s Heartland,” by Salena Zito (Center Street)
Newsmax columnist and contributor Selena Zito was there on July 13 last year when Trump was a mere millimeter from death. Had there been a gust of wind in the wrong direction, had he not turned his head slightly at the last moment, things would have turned out much differently. As it was, a round struck him in his right ear, and a Trump supporter seated behind him was killed. Zito literally had a front row seat that day, and was later given extraordinary access to the president and his top aides to prepare for the book, and she reveals it all in “Butler.” “Zito’s book is about far more than the July 13 shooting and its aftermath, and the title is intended to signify that explanatory breadth,” said the Washington Free Beacon. “This tells us something essential about Zito’s worldview: that she’s acutely conscious of place, as she compellingly demonstrates throughout this powerful and often charming book.” [Nonfiction]
“How We Broke America,” by Jerrod Sessler (Todoblue Press)
The author combines his engineering background with inspiration from the biblical book of James to analyze what forces eroded the nation’s biblical foundations, and to explain how to fix what’s been broken. “How We Broke America” offers a compelling blueprint for reform, to return America to its founding principles — preserving the structure of the Supreme Court, protecting individual rights, securing borders and restoring federalism. This book is organized and methodical. It is clear and direct, addressing the critical issues challenging our nation today,” said E. Griffin for Amazon. “Its message is simply, let’s get busy fixing our broken, but beloved, America.” [Nonfiction]

“The Unraveling of Julia,” by Lisa Scottoline (Grand Central Publishing)
Julia Pritzker believes she’s cursed with bad luck. Shortly after she lost her adoptive parents, her husband was murdered. She soon fears that she lacks any control over her fate when she discovers that her horoscope actually predicted her husband’s death. Then she learns that she has inherited a Tuscan villa and vineyard from a total stranger, Emilia Rossi. When she arrives in Tuscany, she discovers that her benefactor believed herself to be a descendant of the legendary Renaissance Duchess Caterina Sforza. Julia soon discovers that she not only bears a striking resemblance to both Rossi and Sforza but also shares an interest in astrology with them. Then things turn weird — and deadly. “Supernatural and gothic elements are light but suspenseful here, enveloped in the warmth of Tuscan food and new beginnings,” wrote Booklist. “(Lisa) Scottoline’s latest (following ‘The Truth about the Devlins’) is evocative of the vintage gothic tales of Phyllis A. Whitney and Victoria Holt.” [Fiction]
