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! Right now our books are pretty scattered :) I have most of my books on the shelves around the TV and my fiancee has his books in the guest bedroom (a work in progress). But I promise these books will go on our coffee table for everyone to admire!!

    my favorite books are stacked hap-hazardly on an old bookshelf. There’s no system to organization, just shove one in there wherever there’s enough space and pull out the next one.

    i rotate my favorite design books in the living room. i keep a few “on display” on the coffee table & switch them out once in a while with the rest that i have on a nearby bookshelf. i currently have a book about classic new england architecture & “barn” decor on the coffee table because they both have some great autumn photography.

    thanks!

    Our books reside on a couple of different bookcases around the house. I’m not typically a fan of keeping books (especially fiction ones), but recently have discovered the joy of the coffee table style book!

    BOOK ME! I keep all my books on shelves incorporated in a TV Stand. It is a terribly unstable/junky piece from a big box store that I should have returned but couldn’t find anything else I could afford at the time. The books totally help stabilize it for a TV!

    Right now they’re still in storage, but I have plans for built ins in my master bedroom to store them all. We’re a book loving family, so there are a bunch. As much as I love my Kindle, there’s nothing like a real book in your hand.

    One of the closets in our master bedroom is our library. The closet is too shallow to hang clothes and was already filled with shelves when we moved in so it’s perfect.

    We are so bad, if we aren’t reading them they go under this old trunk we have that is missing one foot (to help hold it up!) it started off as a cute idea, “oh one stack of books will serve as the 4th leg”…and has quickly gotten out of control. Although I do have stacks of vintage books around as decoration, but I really don’t ever plan on reading a 1940’s copy of “How the United Nations Works”
