To start, a sincere THANKS to all who participated in the first giveaway hosted by Once Upon a Screen. And another to Josh Williams, Publicist of Triumph Books for sending me copies of Hollywood on Lake Michigan: 100+ Years of Chicago and the Movies to review and share with those who visit this blog.
An enjoyable and informative read, you can take a look at my review of Hollywood on Lake Michigan: 100+ Years of Chicago and the Movies here. That is the same post where I announced the giveaway – three copies to give those interested and all they had to do was mention their favorite film that was either filmed or based in Chicago.
Sixteen people participated in the week-long event, which ended at midnight last night (or this morning). To pick the winners I put the names in a box (I didn’t have a hat handy) and asked a neighbor who I was having coffee with this morning to pick three at random. And…here they are…

Thanks Aurora 😀
Thank you so much Aurora and Michael too! My two favorite subjects in one book is just priceless for me. Chicago means the world to me and always has. I lived there for 10 years, and thankfully the Loop is now only a couple of hours away. I’d love to take Michael’s tour ASAP, This was the perfect giveaway and I’m thrilled to have won a copy of this book! Thanks again!
I think you’ll love it, Sarah!
Send me a tweet or an email whenever you are in town, Sarah, and I will try and meet up with you to sign your book. You too, Vanessa. Hope you both enjoy the book!
