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! (Perty Please!?) I prefer to use my books as decoration – I almost always buy hardback so I can take the covers off and use them to prop up a table lamp or put a dish of candy on top!

    Our favs are in several spots- one huge bookshelf with doors to keep the toddler out, one bookshelf in the master closet (to make room for kid #2 due in 5 weeks!) and piled up on both our nightstands. We’re borderline book hoarders!

    BOOK ME! My books have been living in boxes for months while we repaired dry wall, refinished floors and installed new baseboard but it’s due to be finished by the end of the week and I can’t wait to reinstall the books were they belong–on a bookshelf next to a comfy chair!

    Book Me!!! We have a wall of bookcases in the living room and my favorites are on a special shelf that’s at my eye level. I wish I could keep them out on the coffee table but the baby loves books too and will “read” them by pulling out the pages. These books, if I’m the lucky one, would go on the special shelf. Primetime!

    All our books are in boxes as we just moved into a new house, but I have dreams of a glorious, full wall bookshelf, with all kinds of knick knacks and vingettes making it ours.
