Book Giveaway!

“So, You Think You Know the Jersey Shore” by Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta

BOOK GIVEAWAY! USA ONLY!

Happy National Give Something Away Day!
Win one of my three books!
Just comment which one you’d like to read and I’ll put your names in a hat and pick a winner at the end of the day, around 5 p.m. EST.

If you win, I’ll ask for your email address so I can get your mailing address.
Totally free, all postage paid! USA ONLY!
(This contest is on Facebook and WordPress, so there will be two winners.)

Here’s the books to choose from:

1. “I Don’t Want to Be Like You” — My memoir growing up in the 1970s and dealing with bullies, and how they didn’t break me. Inspirational and honest.

2. “The Gypsy Smiled” — About a young woman trying to make it in the music business. The book was inspired by Lou Christie’s song “The Gypsy Cried.” Lots of kitschy fun — Elvis tribute artists, all-girl bands inspired by Tom Jones. Fun and silly.

3. “So, You Think You Know the Jersey Shore?” — A reference guide I put together about all the nooks and crannies of The Jersey Shore. What’s cool is that I took some of the photos for the book.

Apple Records legend, Brute Force, reading my book, “I Don’t Want to Be Like You”

AN EXTRAORDINARY MEMOIR OF BETRAYAL combines the power and insight of a poet’s voice with a clear-eyed look at how society marginalizes female experiences, but celebrates the strength found in women’s friendships. Searing and beautiful. A MINUS

I read three #autobiographies and #memoirs, one of which could also go in the “Cats” section, but I thought it was more about the author. I enjoyed them all, though I wouldn’t say any of them were terribly well-written.

“Maybe I'll Pitch Forever” by Satchel Paige (Re-read)

“Yours Cruelly, Elvira” by Cassandra Peterson

“A Street Cat Named Bob” by James Bowen

A FAMILY’S DEEPEST SECRETS are brought to light in this ambitious, poetic memoir. In a mix of recollection and recreation, the author uses her uncle’s conviction for art forgery as the lens through which to examine a family in flight from truth. B PLUS

BARBRA STREISAND’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY is as unique as its subject and her remarkable career. Lots of candor about her childhood and her professional life, very little gossip about her romantic life, a strong throughline of moral and artistic clarity. A MINUS

In Search of African Diasporas: Testimonies and Encounters by Paul Tiyambe Zeleza

"This is an ambitious and brilliant book by one of Africa's leading diaspora intellectuals. A combination of a researcher's field notes, a travelogue and personal memoir, it is unusual in African writing. It is the first book by an African scholar to take us on such an amazing analytical and narrative journey in search of African diasporas around the world from Latin America to the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. It is filled with analytical insights, captivating stories, and intriguing observations on the complex histories and experiences of African diasporas, their triumphs and tragedies, perils and possibilities, and their enduring struggles for belonging, for their humanity. Its inimitable passions are leavened by engaging humor, its scholarly analyses by a novelist's eye for local context and color.
