Book Giveaway-Anna Nicole Smith-Blonde Ambition

Thank You Brianne at Hachette Book Group for allowing me to host this giveaway.I will be giving away 5 copies of Blonde Ambition-The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death by Rita Cosby

YOU PROBABLY THINK YOU KNOW ALL THERE IS TO KNOW
ANNA NICOLE SMITH LOST HER SON.
SHE ACCIDENTALLY OVERDOSED. SHE WAS A DRUG ADDICT.
YOU DON'T KNOW A THING...

She was famous for being famous-Americana at its Scarlet Letter-wearing best. A bodacious young girl from Texas, Anna remade herself into the centerfold of the world. She was a "dumb blonde," a stripper, a Playboy Playmate, who boldly took her case against her billionaire husband's family all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Her tragic life and untimely death evoke an odd mix of fascination, shock, and dismay. And through it all, there still exists a voracious thirst to discover more about who she actually was,and how she really died.
In a book that is sure to surprise even the most avid pop culture junkies, Rita Cosby blows the lid off this astounding story. After an in-depth investigation, this is the definitive journalistic account of the Anna Nicole Smith saga-with unearthed secrets and explosive, never-before-told information.

  5. This is one book I would really love to read!

    My one word is "Flirt" It was flirt or bimbo because when ever I saw here in the news that is what I would pop into my head. I am sure she had problems and needed attention to make her feel good.

  7. Anna-Nicole was born and raised in Mexia, Texas which is about 45 miles from where I live. I never met her, but thought it was an interesting tidbit.

  8. I've been trying to comment on the Jerry Bledsoe post, but my computer won't open the comments there. He sounds like a good author with scruples. I'll have to check him out next time I go to Barnes and Noble.

    I'd love to hear how you like your Kindle 2 once you get it. I've told my husband that is what I want for my birthday.

  15. Lonely. You can be surrounded by people but still be lonely. You need at least one person in the world that understands you and loves you with no reservations without wanting anything in return.
