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.

FAB 5 FREDDY may not be the household name he once was, but this autobiography should change that. Come for the inside stories of graffiti, rap, hip-hop, and MTV, but you’ll stay for the reminiscences of late-20th century Black New York. A MINUS
