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!

    My design/coffee table books live on a bookshelf next to my bed. I arrange them by color and loved-ness. I page through them and I take pictures with my iPad of fave spaces/ideas with a clear view of the page numbers so if I have an “a-ha!” moment on the run I can peruse my fave book pages and then reference the page when I go home. It has worked well so far! Would love to add those books to my collection!

    I love books! Not just to read but for decorating as well! I love displaying a beautiful book on my coffee table (as I would do with these gorgeous books!) but I also have a big bookcase full of my favorite books! Another place I love to keep books is my Kindle haha! It’s so portable and easy! I guess what I’m trying to say is, books are awesome! :D
    Once again, great giveaway!

    BOOK ME!

    Right now we only have one bookshelf due to the move. It has half the books we brought with us from Ohio. The other bookshelf is still to be purchased once I figure out where to put it in the new apartment It will be Ikea’s Benno DVD shelf. My sister discovered they’re the perfect depth for paperback books, so that’s where my collection of sci-fi and mystery books will live!

    When not safely ensconced in a shelf, my books can be found on pretty much any horizontal surface in our living space. :-)

    I keep most of my books in shelves in the living room — they occupy a weird corner that used to be an outer wall — but also keep the bigger ones, like design books, in my little home office at the back of the house. I keep ultra faves on my dresser in my bedroom.
