Fab Freebie: Book Worms Rejoice

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

So many book-hungry people out there! This giveaway hit its 10,000 cap within 24 hours, so we’re already back with a winner. The lucky worm is… Melissa (who keeps her favorite books in a bedside cabinet, a living room end table, and on a special display shelf in the family room. She believes “all good book nerds have them in all parts of the house!”). Congrats Melissa!

Our book release is officially here! Woo hoo! And we’re celebrating by giving away books this week. But not just our book. Lots o’ books. In fact, some of them will even come signed by some pretty awesome people. Woot! We’ve been gobbling up so many design, decor, and home books lately that we thought it’d be fun to share some of our recent faves from our library. So in addition to a signed copy of our new book, you’ll also be getting copies of the following (marked with an asterisk when signed!):

  • The Things That Matter by Nate Berkus
  • The Handbuilt Home by Ana White*
  • Design*Sponge at Home by Grace Bonney
  • Home by Novogratz by Robert & Cortney Novogratz*
  • Style Me Pretty Weddings by Abby Larson* (which releases next month)
  • Happier at Home by Gretchen Rubin*

BookGiveawaySMP

  • PRIZE: Copies of all of the books shown above, including signatures from us, Gretchen Rubin, Abby Larson, the Novogratzes, and Ana White!
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “BOOK ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … what special place in your home do you keep your favorite books? Do they get a prime spot on your coffee table? Or do you have a large collection of faves that fill a bookcase somewhere? Maybe your top pick at the moment just lives cozily on your night table?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Nov 7th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible – more on that here)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info.

    BOOK ME!! Our books are all over the house, but the most prominent display is a large stack (about 3′-4′) with all black bindings that sit next to an Eames Plywood Lounge in the living room. Topped with a kodak brownie. The rest are on the bookshelf in ROY G. BIV order.

    … We have stacks of books EVERYWHERE in our house. A full cubes-style bookcase in the living room, another side table in the living room, on top of said side table, stacked under and on top of our bedroom side tables, a full crate in our son’s room full of his books, etc. :) We desperately need to invest in some faux built-ins in our living room.

    BOOK ME!Kids books are in their rooms and usually whatever they are reading is left wherever they had to set it down. I have my current read on the bedside table. WE also keep two big bookcases stocked in the living room. These lovely books (If I win) would probably be displayed in the family room.

    I have a bookshelf between my bedroom and living room where I keep a bunch of books I’ve read. I like to keep it there because sometimes I’ll just grab one, open up the Table of Contents and go to a part of the book I love or to a part that could use a second (or third!) read. It’s also a resting place for recently finished reads.
