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.

    The book I am reading at the time always hangs out on my night stand (so I can read right before I go to bed), my favorite book (currently my signed copy of your book!) sits on the ottoman with the current month’s edition of Better Homes and Gardens, and the rest of my book friends hang out together on the bookshelves on both sides of our fireplace! We love books around here :).

    Sheesh… we have books. LOTS of books.

    In our living room they take up a whole wall… and our little baby girl has a whole bookcase in her bedroom.

    Kids books are irresistiable to me.

    Most of “my” books are from the library, but my husband’s books are housed throughout the house. We probably have a bookcase for every room. They’re not used for staging, as so many of the lovely design books provide assistance in, but for their original purpose: casing books. I’d love to add a few of my own favorite titles to the mix.

    There are books in almost every room of my house, and most of them are organized by color (reds and blues in the bedroom, blacks, whites and oversized books in the kitchen, greens in the living room etc).

    Book me! I just moved, so most of my books are still in boxes at my parent’s house. My new apartment is next door to a library, so I have a few library books sitting around. I have less storage in my new apartment, so I’m going to have clear out some books and think creatively on how to store my books.

    And I got your book today! Can’t wait to spend time with it. I was at school for 12 hours today (math teacher= parent/teacher conferences), and still had to go pick it up at my parents house once I heard it arrived.
