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!

    I have a bookcase, or two, or three. Filled with books in our basement next to my favorite rocker. Then I also have my Kindle… so we can safely say I like to read and I love books.

    BOOK ME!

    I have books just about everyone. By my bed, and a bookcase in the guest room, office, living room, and basement (not to mention the boxes my mom keeps asking me to pick up at their place). The favorites go on either on display in our living room or in our bookcase/headboard of our bed.

    BOOK ME! I have a library (actually just a very large walk-in closet) right off my living room which stores many books. But I also keep books on some shelves in my living room and in the nightstand next to my bed, and of course, in my Kindle.

    Book Me! I oddly keep my coffee table books under the coffee table. It’s not very big and I don’t want them to get spilled on so they rest on this little shelf underneath. I like it.

    BOOK ME, please!!!! My favorite books “reside” all over my house, but for those truly special books (currently reading 3) house magazines (I’m saving for inspriation) and shadowbox materials (a project I haven’t gotten around to yet, with either child) I keep them in my beside table because I know my husband wont’ troll the area to “declutter!”

    My current read is always stashed in my work bag. My favorite books stay on the bookshelf because I usually donate all others or just got them from the library. I can’t wait for my YHL to arrive! Hope it makes it for Boston book signing!
