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 hardly keep books around- once I am done with a novel I give it away; cookbooks and other books are usually hanging around the livin room and kitchen in nooks and crannies or on top of a table!

    BOOK ME! I keep my favorite books on my computer desk near my monitor. When my mind wanders from my current task, I glance at the book, remember how great it is, then have the motivation to continue with the previous task, which tends to be working.

    Book Me! I love books so I have them in bookshelves and on tables all over the house. Its so much more convenient these days to buy books for my ipad so I can read them on my commute, but the books I really love I end up buying in hardcopy as well just so I can see them everyday. Does that make me crazy??

    Most books reside on the three bookshelves in the basement, but there are some favorites in a cupboard in our bedroom, and a few more in my office. Of course there are kid books in the living room, family room, their bedroooms, the basement, and the diaper bag. I never realized how much more real estate their reading stuff gets!

    I have one year old twins…and find their books everywhere. Since they run the show, my favorite author is currently Sandra Boynton…because who doesn’t love books about Hippos and belly buttons? Most likely place to find books these days…my pump bag for pump breaks at work. Or, the usual place, under my bed.
