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.

    Awesome books like this don’t get put away around here :) Our coffee table has a cutout on the bottom right side where we keep all of our eye candy books. Would love to add to the collection since most of them are restaurant related and belong to my boyfriend.

    I’ve gone the way of Ebooks for most novels and nonfiction. (So much less clutter). However, I still have a nice lawyers bookcase in our foyer with books that still need to be read in book form-like these!

    BOOK ME! I am always reading 2 or more books at the same time, plus blogs, plus the paper, plus TMZ and people.com (guilty pleasures!). I have 2 large bookcases in my office and they’re filled with medical books from school, happiness books, the classics and best-sellers. My bedside table has whichever 2 books I’m reading at the time, but I also keep an easy to pick up and put down book in my work bag for the rare lulls at work. My recipe books have a special place in a bookcase near the kitchen and my husband’s fly tying books live in his fly tying room. Oh yes, there’s a fly tying room in my house. I should post a photo sometime!

    BOOK ME! I’ve worked for a library, a used book store, and a nonprofit dedicated to writers…. so I’ve collected many, many books along the way! They sprawl all over my tiny apartment: through the kitchen, on bookshelves in my living room, in stacks under my windows, and even in my bedroom. I really don’t have the space for the them, but I can’t part with them either. My favorite books are on the bottom shelf of my nightstand. :)

    Just received my copy of your book today!
    It will go on my nightstand, on the top of the stack of books to read. my favorite books go on the top shelf of the bookcase or in the guest room as suggested reading.

    Congrats to you two!
