Former first lady Melania Trump’s memoir, Melania, is the #1 book in the country by almost 17K print units. It topped many but not all of the regions across the U.S. The #2 book is From Here to the Great Unknown, Lisa Marie Presley’s posthumous memoir, completed by her daughter Riley Keough and the latest Oprah’s Book Club pick. Keough’s book tour has included stops in Memphis (at Graceland) and in St. Louis, and the book reigned in regions that include those cities.
