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! Books travel around my house. Sometimes they are displayed prominently on a table top, sometimes they’re on the book shelf, sometimes the craft room, sometimes the kitchen counter or right on the couch so I make time to snuggle with them HaHa!

    BOOK ME! I have bookshelves in the living room, dining room and two bedrooms. Others are in the kitchen, on the nightstand coffee table, in a closet — you get the picture — lots of books everywhere, but there’s always room for more.

    “BOOK ME!” Most of my books live on a bookshelf in my family room but the book I am reading goes EVERYWHERE.. the bedroom, office, my purse! I already pre ordered your book (it came today! Love it!) so if I won I would pass it along to my sister and keep the signed one for myself! Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

    BOOK ME!!! I <3 books with a serious passion!! I have filled every bookcase where we have lived (moved 6 times in 10 years) in record time! I keep a book with me, keep one or two on the nightstand, and have several in reserve in a special spot on the bookcase (which I consider an important piece of furniture–to be as important as a couch)

    My faves are right next to my bed! Easily accessible and well loved! :) But my books migrate to the living room and other areas pretty often and I have to regularly go around the house to gather them up. Especially when they’re home design or garden books – I can never stick to one at a time!

    I have a basket on the lower shelf of our coffee table where I keep current books and magazines that I might be reading right now. I don’t really have a permanent spot for any favorites though. The rest of our books are on shelves in the office.

    Book me! I luuuuurve books. I have them everywhere, and when I run out of shelf space they grow from the floor like stalagmites. My top shelves, though, generally have my autographed books, usually consisting of the fantasy genre – nearly every book by Jacqueline Carey, two by Patrick Rothfuss, one each by George R.R. Martin and Carlos Ruiz Zafon and Anne Bishop… and I can’t wait to add YHL to it! :D
