My dad and MIL both like gifts of books. My dad fiction and my MIL biography/ history. It was tough this year picking out something half way decent. Virtue signal messages are shoved down your throat.
Couple of interesting things I noticed in Barnes & Noble (I prefer independent stores to browse but the one I like is a bit out of the way but I ran out of time.) They were still displaying the last Obama book that came out last year. I could tell it did not sell too well. There is another one with him and Springsteen that was displayed behind the register: Renegades - Born in the USA! Barf. I just rolled my eyes. (The phrase 'they think you follow the stars' came to mind.) But in the best sellers section at the front of the store, there were zero books on Biden. Nothing. When Trump was in the WH, there would be like, fifteen.
I also noticed they did not have RFK Jr.'s book on Fauci. At first I thought they were purposely not displaying it- I live in Big Tech country. But when I look at the top 100 on bn com, it is the number 2 best seller. (Number one is a book on the Beatles lyrics - coffee table type book that would be a Christmas present for Beatles fans.) They must have sold out. Which gives me a smidgen of hopium.
