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 am so excited for your book, I told my hubby that I HAVE to have it for Christmas!!!

    Our books are all in various places, some are in the bookshelf downstairs, others (favorites) are stacked nicely on a shelf in our living room that I made (plans from Ana White…inspired from your old dining room), and other are on an end table by the rocking chair or story time with the kiddos.

    We have small clusters of books all over the house, but my favorite by far has to be my collection of editions of Wuthering Heights. It’s my favorite book and I started occasionally picking up a new copy every time I found one. My number is up to 21 now and I’m hoping to keep expanding it. These would be so perfect to add to our tv console for quick grabbing and also good looks :) Thanks guys!!

    we’re book people, so we have about 5 bookshelves crammed to the gills with favorites (although to be fair, one of those shelves is actually full of our kids’ books), but since we have no flat walls to put them on (darn baseboard heating), they live in an area of the garage that we converted into a reading room. :)

    Our books live in our Billy Bookcases (thank you IKEA!), which are in our living room. We have a veritable library! But the books we are currently reading are either on our nightstands, in my purse, or in my husband’s backpack. Got to keep entertained during our bus commute!

    Book me! I keep my favorite books in a few different places: my most special are stacked together in my living room, nestled between some blue mason jars. These are books that I have collected over time, that my parents have given to me, or that hold a particular place in my heart. I also keep a stack of my favorite cookbooks on top of a kitchen counter. My limited assortment of well-loved cooking manuals are weighted down by a small framed David Bowie post card.

    It’s just as awesome as it sounds.

    All of these books are on my wish list, I would so love the YHL book fairy to grant my wish ;) I have a floor to ceiling semi custom-made 10′ tall bookcase in my living room. My favorite books live on the shelves there. Of course, yours would probably travel all around the house with me, because I’m sure I won’t be able to put it down!
