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 a geographical system in place for my books. Books I need to finish and review are on the end table next to my spot on the couch, books that I want to read are in the window ledge. How-to books live under my card-catalog-cum-toolbox and cookbooks are on my kitchen table. I rotate art books on and off the coffee table/bench.

We have books everywhere: on the top of the antique armoire and on the bookshelf in our family room, lying around on the ottomans of our family room and living room, sitting on the nighstand or the floor in our bedrooms, stashed on the kitchen counter or dining room table. I read a lot.

    BOOK ME! I’ve got books in just about every room in my house. However, I was so happy that I was actually able to fit all my nicest bookcases together in my living room in our new house so most of my personal collection is there. (I went to grad school for literature so I have got a LOT of books!)

    BOOK ME! My favorites are either on my coffee table or night stand for easy access in the beginning, then proudly on my bookshelf (which I’ve been pruning lately but all of these would surely stay for the long haul!). And congrats on the official release! I’m hoping my copy of your book is waiting for me when I get home…
