Book Giveaway: “Charlie Chaplin: A Brief Life” by Peter Ackroyd
Well, we had six lucky winners so far, so that means we still have THREE MORE BOOKS to give away via our Twitter contest. That said, we’re going to try something a little different this time… Rather then have three separate contests over the next three weeks, we’re going to run one contest during that three-week period (12/15-1/2) and give away one book each Friday within that time frame… so all you need to do is enter once and you’re ‘in’ for the remainder of the contest!
In order to qualify for to win a copy of Charlie Chaplin: A Brief Life via this contest giveaway, you must complete the following task by Friday, January 2, 2015 at 7PM EST (i.e. any time between now and January 2, 2015 at 7PM EST). However, the sooner you enter, the better chances you have of winning, because we will pick a winner on three different days within the contest period, via random drawings, as follows:
- Friday, December 19: One Winner
- Friday, December 26: One Winner
- Friday, January 2, 2015: One Winner
The winner(s) will be selected via random drawing and announced on Twitter the following day.

I’m a bit fascinated by Virginia Cherrill, Chaplin’s love interest from City Lights. I like the reactions between the two of them and the chemistry they seem to have. Thanks once again for the chance to win a copy of the book.

Gotta go with Buster Keaton. Two giants in the silent comedy world!
The donkey in The Circus. I know that alot of the actors and actresses were amazing and I truly cannot pick just one. The donkey is a animal actor I guess and always stood out and made me laugh as hard as Charlie. I love how it just runs and chases after him in the movie.
