Congratulations to Tracy R., winner of the October book giveaway…a very special one! Tracy has won signed copies of Life Lessons From the Chocolate Factory…10 Rich, Satisfying Nuggets to Nibble On for her ENTIRE book group in addition to a conference call from author Christopher Holl!! Thank you so much, Christopher, for providing such a generous giveaway! Hopefully, Tracy will provide us with some photos and news from her book group session!!
For November, the giveaway is a book written by a celebrity…a multi-talented celebrity. His name is Tony Danza!
I got the chance to meet Tony recently when he appeared in Connecticut at an R.J. Julia’s bookstore event in Madison. (I enjoyed talking with him about two favorite cities – comparing NYC and Philly.) And, this month’s giveaway is a signed copy of his first book I’d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had: My Year as a Rookie Teacher at Northeast High. If it sounds a little familiar, it may be because the subject was the topic of an A&E reality series called TEACH. Tony experienced the life of a first-year teacher – teaching tenth-grade English at Northeast High – Philadelphia’s largest high school. His students didn’t care about his celebrity…heck, they weren’t even born when Who’s the Boss aired; never mind Taxi! And, even though A&E cancelled the show after six episodes, Tony completed his year as teacher – a career he had aspired to long before he started acting.
The book is an insightful account you will truly enjoy. Be sure to enter to win often – before the end of November. Details for entering are here.
Thanks for visiting, Jackie
