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! We keep a few favorites on the coffee table and then we have a bookshelf where all of the other must-haves live in the living room. Several of these (including yours) would definitely make it into the coffee table stack! Crossing all my fingers…

    Book me! I keep my books on a bookshelf – so predictable! But I try to spice it up by organizing them by color and adding a few of my favorite small items (like pretty bookmarks handed down from my grandmother’s collection), handmade glass sculptures, and plants.

    BOOK ME! I have a “library” (i.e. couple shelves in our home office) for the real hard-copy books that are special to me. Everything else ends up on my Kindle. These fantastic books would be destined for my library of special books :) when they aren’t being actively read cover to cover repeatedly of course…

    Sadly all books have been relocated to the basement for safe keeping since my sister’s 1 year old Labrador has moved in with us and began chewing on her favorite novels.

    Really? You couldn’t ship these books to Canada? That’s really disappointing. I understand when a sponsor is hosting a giveaway and they won’t pay to ship their product but it can’t be that hard/expensive to pop some books in the post for us up north.

      We ask every single vendor who comes to us to do a giveaway if they’ll ship internationally or at least to Canada. Not just once, usually twice! We LOVE you all and always want to open our giveaways to as many people as possible! It unfortunately comes down to their policies (many companies just have a shopping policy to send within the US, and when working with so many different authors/books many of them didn’t do Canadian shipping). Very sorry you’re unsatisfied, but we’re always your biggest advocates. We unfortunately just can’t change people’s policies or make them ship outside the US if they’re not set up for that! Since everyone doing giveaways ships things directly to the winner, it’s not a matter of us getting things and sending them out, it’s all about how the company is set up to ship their products. Hope that makes sense :)

    Book Me! My books reside in book cases (some are stored two deep), baskets under tables, stacked by my bedside table and a huge pile under it. I have them in closets, on my desk, and now a lot of them reside with my two daughters who have a lot more room than I do.

    I keep my collection of books in my living room, housed in Ikea’s Hemnes bookcases. They’re overflowing, but I can’t get rid of any of them! My very favorites are displayed on the shelves that are eye level, so they’re seen first as you look at the cases (tho I doubt anyone but me really notices that)!
