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!

    These books look amazing to browse and be inspired! My favorite spot to keep books are : library books go near the door on the entryway table (with 3 kids we go to the library a lot to keep costs down!) and books I own are on a special bookcase in my bedroom, right across from where I sleep.

    This is your best giveaway ever. But that’s the book nerd in me talking. I have a bookshelf crammed full of books in my living room, but the books that I like most (photography from National Geographic and a book about advertising in the 1920s) get a primo spot on my coffee table.

    Book Me! We’re a bookworm kind of family, so we have bookshelves in almost every room. The types of book in each room are based on the room, so we have the ones awaiting reading in our bedroom, the old favorites mainly in the living room, and the reference, home improvement, and swapping books in the office/guest room. And kids’ books everywhere, of course.

    Actually- you guys should definitely apartment crash my place when you are in DC, I am a 20-something single girl who bought my first apartment with money saved during my work in Afghanistan. Small, sweet 1916 apartment, decorated with hand-me-downs and furniture from my travels. Interested?
