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! Books don’t have a special place in my house….I read so much that they’re scattered in every room! There’s usually a stack on the bathtub surround, one or two in the kitchen on the microwave, a stack next to the bed and currently our my bookshelves are overflowing onto the floor as well.

    Book Me! I keep books everywhere! In our first 10 (broke)years married, my husband and I bought 9 pieces of furniture. This included our bed (important) and 7 bookcases. They are all full of books. Of course, my favs always live close to me on my nightstand.

    Definitely my coffee table!

    I went out to my little ‘ole mailbox today and GOT A PRESENT!!! Yay! Your book arrived!! I’ve done nothing but sit on the couch and absorb everything through osmosis. Even dinner for the hubs had to wait! I got my Martha Stewart Living magazine too but I haven’t even opened that baby yet!!

    Wow- it’s a GREAT book! So well written and laid out! You guys did an awesome job and I’m so excited for you both. I’ve only just glanced through it and looked at all the great pictures and the chapters but I’m going back and will read it from cover to cover. Buying a copy for my new daughter in law and will bring her over to the DIY dark side soon!

    As an English major and a current graduate student in Creative Writing, I keep books EVERYWHERE. My husband and I both have stacks next to our bed, and there are literally books in every other room in our house as well – on open shelves, in cabinets, being used for decoration, etc. What a great prize this is!

    BOOK ME!!! We have a couple 8′ tall bookcases. But the pretty ones sit on desks, tables, baskets, and anywhere else that decorating with a book is appropriate. And our vintage leather bound law books are stacked on the floor and create end tables for a few chairs.
