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 use shelves to float my top cookbooks above the dining table and display art and history books as well as some very old school books from my grandmother on our entertainment center, and feature the rest on a cabinet found after much searching with the doors removed!

    Book me! I have books all over, but they have to be high up so Maggie our 12 yr old daschund won’t get to them. She likes to chew the spines! Must be the glue? So they are on the mantle, my bedside table, the office table, and anywhere away from the dog!

    BOOK ME! As a high school English teacher, mother of three boys, and bibliophile, the question is where DON’T I keep books…..there isn’t a room in our house that isn’t stacked/covered/decorated in books…..my favorite new thing to do is to store holiday picture books away, then pull them out a few weeks before said holiday time begins. I put them in a pretty basket, and all three of my guys (even the nine year old) curl up on the floor/couch to read.

    I keep all of my books on a big shelf in my guest room. I think it’s the perfect spot because guests can grab a book (or two!) whenever they stay over! But my most favorite books are kept right on my night stand. I typically read an entire book through at one time, but I like to keep options just in case I need something different!!! <3

    BOOK ME! My husband and I are actually building a new Craftsman-style bungalow right now. Our builder is a really nice guy… my dad. And, all future books will be stored in my graphic design studio/creative writing nook/library on wall-to-ceiling bookcases built by another nice guy… my father-in-law (see a trend here?) It’s the bookcase I’ve always wanted, complete with sliding ladder (I’m sure my toddler has plans for this thing). I love your site, BTW. I’ll keep checking in daily even if I don’t win the books. Y’all are awesome!
