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! . . . As of right now our books are scattered throughout the house, but we’ll be starting a big bookcase project in our dining room soon. I can’t wait to fill “my side” with glorious home decor and DIY books – included yours, which I already own and have read more than half already. HEHE! :)

    BOOK ME! We have books EVERYWHERE!!! Which is wonderful, but also a source of consternation to the moving men that show up at our house to move us every few years when my Air Force husband gets new orders. Because, let’s face it, books are heavy! But we love them!

    My husband and I are both big readers and we own a ton of books. Presently, all of our favorites are organized by color on two large book shelves in our living room and we have a second set of shelves holding some of our less favorite reads.

    If I keep a book it’s because I’m sure I’ll read it again. My library is approaching 1500 books so I obviously don’t know how to play favorites.

    We treasure all of our books. Most of them are contained in an entire wall of glass enclosed Billy bookcases in our office. We love them so much that we installed gorgeous accent downlights on top of the bookcases. I would make a special space in there just for those books!

    BOOK ME! I try to limit my book collection to what fits on the bookshelf. Luckily there’s a library that’s only a 10-minute walk away, so I get most of my fix there. Then I only buy the ones I want to read over and over again. Much more cost-effective!
