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.

    My favorite books are always sprawled across my nightstand. There are really way too many on there at one time and once I put my glasses/phone/water bottle on there too it all comes crumbling down.

    I have two built-in bookcases, one has really gorgeous detailing so I strangely put all my favorites in that one. And it has glass doors so it feels organized but looks super cute :)

    What a great little collection of books this would be.

    I just realized we have book storage in 7 different rooms of our 1800 sf house — all the rooms except the bathrooms and laundry room. Oh wait, I guess there is a stack of books on top of a cabinet in one of the bathrooms too. Don’t ever want the books to be too far away, I guess.

    Books are all over our house, wherever they can fit! My desktop (it’s a secretary) is an impromptu shelf, as is one countertop, and a few “toy bins” in the kids’ room. Our whole family loves books, and there is rarely a space without them – except the floor, because books don’t go on the floor, as they might get stepped on, and that’s a cardinal sin here!

    BOOK ME! Congrats on the book release … you guys have worked long and hard and deserve everything good that comes your way!

Thanks for the give away!

    BOOK ME! My books are all over the house, but my favorite ones are currently the ones that make my one year old daughter laugh and that she makes us read over and over again. They live in her room for the most part, though they have a tendency to migrate into my bag if we’re leaving to go somewhere.

    3 bookshelves in the living room and 2 in the office. Also, I have to admit to numerous books being stuffed under the bed and several boxes in the attic. Yes, I have a bit of a book problem…

    I’ve got a bookcase near my kitchen with my cookbooks, a bookcase in my studio for knitting, art, and design books, and a bookcase upstairs for my novels. I bought a nook thinking I’d cut back on my book collection… helps at least with the magazines.
