Melania Trump's memoir climbs New York Times best sellers list
President-elect Donald Trump has published a number of books over the years, including "The Art of the Deal" and "Why We Want You To Be Rich."
However, soon-to-be First Lady Melania Trump recently moved up The New York Times' best sellers list with a book of her own.
Columnist praises memoir for being "direct"
That's according to New York Post columnist Cindy Adams, who described Mrs. Trump's self-titled memoir as "straight" and "direct" while avoiding "the tears, fears and rears of those whose should’ve been kicked in."
Melania, my New Book, is now available nationwide.
I hope you enjoy stories from my childhood, the White House years, how I became a model, our beautiful wedding, and so much more.

What's more, Mrs. Trump also reminded her fellow Americans that they should not forget the humanity of their political opponents.
"I commend those of you who have reached out beyond the political divide — thank you for remembering that every single politician is a man or a woman with a loving family," the incoming first lady wrote.
First lady "captivated" by husband's "charm and easygoing nature"
In addition to referencing politics, Mrs. Trump's book also delves into details concerning her personal life, including how she met her husband.
"I was captivated by his charm and easygoing nature," the Post quoted her as saying of the president-elect when they first encountered one another at a New York Fashion Week event in September of 1998.
"The gossip columns labeled me a 'gold digger,'" she complained before dismissing that allegation as being "baseless" as she was already a successful model who could "easily have captured the attention of numerous celebrities."
The Post noted that Mrs. Trump also shared less pleasant memories, such as learning that her husband had been short while speaking at a campaign rally earlier this year.
Mrs. Trump doubts Jill Biden's sincerity
"I rushed to the TV and pressed play. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing," she explained. "I watched the chaos unfold: the gunfire, Donald instinctively reaching up to his head."
"He's on the ground. Are you sure he's OK?" the former first lady asked her husband's chief of staff before attempting to call.
Although First Lady Jill Biden called her predecessor to express support following the assassination attempt, Mrs. Trump later expressed doubt that the first lady was being sincere.
She pointed out to the French publication Paris Match earlier this month that Mrs. Biden had called her husband "evil" and a "liar" just days before her husband was shot.
