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.

    I have books all over my house, and even though I really don’t like to have them oozing out of their bookcases too much, I usually have a pile next to my bed.

    Like you fine folk, I often just arrange them around the house. Credenzas, desks, end tables and so on. It’s kinda like displaying art with the visual interest of them & all that jazz.

    Book me! I hope someday to have an amazing home library. But for now, all of my classic collections are tucked away into a little bookshelf. And I leave all my favorites about the house, a few on the kitchen island, a vignette of books on my nightstand, a few on a shelf above my desk, and a stack on the coffee table-it’s fun to be able to flip through something, no matter where in the house I am.

    My most treasured books are on my nightstand shelf…it’s pretty full right now.

    We keep books piled on one main book shelf in our bedroom. Occasionally we will have to weed out those we won’t ever read again but we each have those we will keep forever. Our daughter’s (2 1/2 yrs) books however, are everywhere!

    BOOK ME! My books are EVERYWHERE! I have a special spot in every room – ever since I was a kid I have devoured books of all types! In my room, there is a bookshelf next to our bed; the living room has a bin of books for the kiddos’ favorites, a bucket of books on a bookshelf, and a few with pretty covers stacked for decorating. I have books in every room of the house! My favorites of the day usually don’t have a permanent “home” while they’re the fave because they usually are not far from wherever I’m at! :)
