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.

    Oh goodness, I have books everywhere. We moved in about a year ago and still have most of them in boxes. I SOOOO miss the built-ins we had at our last house that held our library–but I guess that just means we have a DIY project in the future! :)

    BOOK ME PLEASE!
    My books live everywhere. At last count my husband and I had over 400. There’s a library/spare bedroom upstairs, usually a half dozen books on each of our nightstands, and they cover our downstairs. In times of desperation they have become chairs, tables, and footstools. They’re all my favorites.

    Well, we have SO many books– that live on our livingroom entertainment shelves, downstairs bookshelves, and my office at work has a whole wall of books. My faves are always next to the bed or sofa, or in my bag. Of course your YHL book will be in the place of honor: the coffee table!

    BOOK ME! As an English Lit major, I have too many favorite books to put together in one place! However, my favorites are easy to find because all of the books are arranged by genre on the large bookcases that flank the desk in our “library”–which is just an name for an office with too many books. ;)

    BOOK ME !!! My current faves are usually somewhere between my bedside table, the couch, or my purse…if I happen to be reading on the go! After a few moves, I purged more books then is like to admit- and now I’ve been steadily gaining back a great collection of books- a shelf in the bedroom is starting to get nice and full!

    My favorites are on a shelf high up on our bookcase in the living room, where my kids can’t get their sticky little hands on them! A few more reside on the shelf under my nightstand, so I can flip through them whenever I want, without having to go find them.
