Winners and Giveaways

Can you believe it's the first day of Spring?

Our temperature is suppose to be in the 70s today with lots of sunshine, then tomorrow night back in the 30s with rain. Not sure if spring is going to stay around very long. Oh well, onto today's post.

Now for a couple of giveaways. First, these books are a little different from other giveaways I've shared. To enter either or both giveaways just send separate e-mails (mcbookshelf@gmail.com) with "Win and the book title" in the subject line and include your name and address in the body of the e-mail. Both giveaways will end on Saturday, April 10. 
  
The first one is an autobiography of Pam Grier. Thanks to Anna and the folks at Hachette Book Group, I have three (3) copies of the 288 page hardback book, "FOXY" (ISBN: 9780446548502).

Here's a brief summary of the book: "Beautiful, bold, and bad, Pam Grier burst onto the movie scene in the 1970s, setting the screen on fire and forever changing the country's view of African American actresses. With a killer attitude and body to match, Grier became the ultimate fantasy of men everywhere. But she quickly proved that she was more than just a desirable film goddess. She had the brains, courage, and tenacity to sustain a career that would span more than 30 years. In FOXY, she chronicles the good, bad, and steamy highlights in her life and career."

Pam Grier started her career in the early 1970s, starring in a string of moderately successful women-in-prison films and blaxploitation films, and has generally remained in the public eye, starring in movies such as Coffy, Foxy Brown, and Jackie Brown.

The other giveaway is for "SEXAHOLICS" by Pynk, a 336 page paperback book (ISBN: 9780446179584). Thanks to Anna and the folks at Hachette Book Group, I have five (5) copies to giveaway.

Here's a brief synopsis of the book: "Miki, Valencia, Teela Raye, and Brandishare one thing ... they are all addicted to sex. United through Sexaholics Anonymous, these women try to recover from their dependence on wild, spontaneous, and even sometimes, dangerous sex. From whips and chains, to sex in public, they have done it all! Led by Dr. Rachel Cummings, each woman takes the first step to recovery by sharing her biggest sexual act with the group. SEXAHOLICS takes readers through the outrageous experiences of four women on their long path to success.

Marissa Monteilh, writing as Pynk, is a former model, television news reporter, and commercial actress. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she now resides just outside of Atlanta, GA.

Join me tomorrow, I plan to have a couple of book reviews that might surprise you. Now, it's the first day of Spring go out and enjoy the sunshine (at least I hope the sun is shinning where ever you are).
