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! My YHL book came Saturday from Amazon, and that’s been allowed to take center stage on my husband’s coffee table – that he’s insisted stay empty for 2 years! While he isn’t quite as obsessed with your blog as I am, he noticed right away that the size, shape, and colors were great for actually displaying the book! (And maybe I’ve caught him reading it 2 or 3 times already, too)

    My books are all in a bookcase with my favorite ones in a stack on one shelf.

    I know the winners are chosen at random but, I have the shingles and am completely miserable. Winning these books would make this crummy week so much better.

    Thanks for having this giveaway!

    Book me! Our favorite books (for there are many books in our house) end up on a bookshelf given to us by one of my college professors, which originally belonged to his parents. It’s a sweet little four-shelf number in shabby old shape.

    BOOK ME! I keep a few of my favorite books and magazines on the danish modern wooden magazine rack that was originally my grandmother’s. I have many happy memories of curling up on the danish modern recliner (that goes with the rack) in a cozy corner of my grandparents livingroom, reading treats I grabbed from my grandmother’s stash.

    I keep my favorite book (a photo book my mom made me when I was a baby and gave to me on my engagement) right on top of our coffee table. It always makes me smile to see the photos of my parents starting our family as my fiance and I start a family of our own.

    I actually have a library upstairs. I am an avid reader and have them all organized with my favorites being on the top shelf. Whatever I am reading at the moment is usually either on the coffee table, nightstand, or even in my purse if I’m not at home. I would love to add the books above to my library!

    BOOK ME!! I have been collecting books since I was eight years old. I have books in my closet, books on my bed, books under my bed, and a two-shelf, two-foot-wide nightstand/bookshelf combo. I have books boxed up, and a beautiful built-in bookcase of over 17 linear feet….stuffed! I think I may have a problem :D
