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.

    My favorites stay out and in the open on shelves in the living room. Any I’m currently reading or re-reading sit on my night stand. :)

    Your book is on a FedEx truck to be delivered to my door today! I’m so excited!! :)

    BOOK ME! I like books everywhere. I think books and paintings make your house a home. You should always have something to stare at or read so that you may ponder life another way. I just moved into a new home so my only special place right now is my bedroom window seat. It overlooks a lake and feels like a retreat even though it is right outside of DC. I currently snuggle with magazines and dream of the modern home my house will become. I look at the lake and see ducks. Some swimming and others in flight. Some alone and some in formation and I think how great it is going to be when the design deed is done.

    My favorites live on a small bookshelf next to all of my TEXTBOOKS (ugh…life of a college student). Not a whole lot of time or room for building my book collection right now…I’m looking forward to having my own place with plenty of room for books one day!

    Our last house had fantastic built-ins in the living room. Right now all of our books are in boxes in storage because we moved to a new city. We just bought a house last week and will be closing in mid-December. I can’t wait to find the new spot for books in our new house!

    My books are on my night stand, in at least two of my dresser drawers, in my closet, under my bed, and in my childhood bedroom! I hate getting rid of them in case I want to read them again, so they overflow all the way in to another city. Ha. Guess I need a kindle…
