Honestly, any time books come up in the news us here at NewInBooks get a little excited. So when a hashtag about books go viral we take notice. After the third presidential debate, the hashtag #TrumpBookReport went viral. Inspired by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s responses, Twitter users are using the hashtag to humorously explain great works of literature. This is great fora giggle no matter which candidate you support. Here are some of our favorite contributions:
