The Impostor’s Daughter: A True Memoir by Laurie Sandell is a graphic memoir I reviewed last year—not only did I love it, but it sparked my interest in graphic novels/memoirs in general.To celebrate the release of this book in paperback on July 12, Hachette is sponsoring a giveaway of 5 copies of The Impostor’s Daughter on my blog. The giveaway is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only (no P.O. boxes). I will accept entries until 11:59 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, July 29. I will select the winners using Random.org.
For one entry, please tell me the title of one of your favourite graphic novels/memoirs. If you haven’t read any yet, let me know why you want to read this one. Please be sure to provide me with a way of getting in touch with you. Entries that do not answer one of these questions or do not provide a blog link or email address will be disqualified.
Other ways to earn entries:
+1 if you comment on my review of The Impostor’s Daughter (if you’ve already done so, that counts too)
+1 if you are a follower or subscriber (please let me know)
Best of luck!
Ooh, throw me in the pot! The only graphic novel I've read so far has been The Complete Persepolis, and I enjoyed it. So many people rave about graphic novels, though, that I feel like I should read more of them, and I'd love to give this one a try. :)

I've been curious about this one for some time, as I hear a lot of mixed reviews. I do love graphic novels, though! Some of my favorites in the nonfiction/memoir genres have been Embroideries and Chicken With Plums, both by Marjane Satrapi.

Please enter me in your draw because I love graphic novel memoirs. My favourite is Alison Bechdel's Fun Home. I've made a list of others that I like on the Edmonton Public Library BiblioCommons catalogue:

i read my first graphic memoir last year--fun home by alison bechdel--and enjoyed it. alas, i can't be entered in the giveaway for this book because we only have PO boxes here. :(
ReplyDeletei will check this book out from the library, though.
This was my first graphic memoir, too! Not sure about my favorite (that's got to be Persepolis although Fun House is trying to sneak in). I haven't read a true graphic novel yet (fiction) but hope to later this year.
ReplyDeleteNo need to enter me, babe. I'm dropping in to say thanks for the e-mail. I've got this posted at Win a Book for you.
ReplyDelete(for more graphic novel fun, try ANYthing with Joann Sfar's name on it. Love it all.)
As for graphic novels I like anything Batman, I haven’t read many memoirs but I did read Do-Over! By Robin Hemley and enjoyed it. I have not read any graphic memoirs which is one of the reasons I’m so interested to read this one.

The magical Life of Long Tack Sam is a memoir of the author's research of her great-grandfather, a Chinese magician. I'd love to read The Imposter's Daughter.

I haven't read any graphic novels yet but i have read several reviews of this one and looked through it in the store. I think the story is intriguing and I liked the graphics in this book. I would love to experience my first graphic novel with The Impostor's Daughter and possibly it will pique my interest in an exciting, new genre!
