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 books EVERYWHERE since they’re just about my favorite things in the world, but I suppose my favorites are kept together on one shelf of my bookcase. I also almost always have my current fave stashed in my purse so it’s with me whenever the mood strikes or the boys nap :)

    BOOK ME! My fave books live in 2 major places: my living room and what my boyfriend and I like to call the library (which is really our office). I tend to keep the bigger, more coffee table-esque books in the living room (which is where your book will live!) and my Jane Austens in the library. :)

    I have a bookcase and a half full of books, but my favorites are all on a shelf together since they’re all by the same author. I tend not to keep ones I don’t really love after I’m done reading them.

    BOOK ME! It seems like we have books scattered throughout the house! Books I’m currently reading are sitting in a little basket next to the couch, there’s always a book next to the bed, and the rest are either on the bookshelf in the guest bedroom, or in the ikea cabinets in our living room! Our books have definitely spilled out and are begging for another ikea cabinet to be bought! :)

    BOOK ME! Oh my gosh, I have never wanted to win one of your giveaways more than I want to win this one!! Books are my absolute favorite gift, hands down. Book lovers unite!

    I keep books pretty much everywhere, but especially a stack near by bedside table that is slowly teetering out of control.
