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.

Most of my books are overflowing from a bookshelf in the office, but my favorites are stacked on my nightstand.
Sarah Lillard says
BOOK ME! I keep all my books in the living room – I have no desire to hide them away anywhere else! I also color-coordinate them, which can sometimes be a headache for my husband but is very aesthetically appealing. ;)

BOOK ME!
I love books, so there are a ton of places around the house that I stash them. My favorite is the bookshelf full of old hardbound books that I inherited from my grandparents – some from the 1800s!

Sarah C. says
‘Book Me’
Right now most of my coffee table books live on my coffee table. But someday I’d love to house them in built-ins :)
Martha says
Book me! My books live on a bookshelf of course (unless I’m obsessively thumbing through them…) Yours arrived at my house last week in the midst of the hurricane and I have been huddled by the candle looking at it every night. It was a great way to get my YHL fix since we’re without power so I couldn’t read the blog everyday. Congrats! Love the book!
Jessica says
Book Me!
All of my favorite books are on a bookcase.
Traci says
Book Me!
My books tend to end up on my nightstand. I would love for them to be out in my living room for all to enjoy, but my lovely 6-year old daughter might decide to add a little color to them so on the nightstand they sit. Someday, a beautiful bookcase, built by my husband, will be in the family room and all my books will be out and available.
Aimee says
book me!
KL says
BOOK ME!
I have three overflowing bookshelves (two in the bedroom, one in the living room) but wouldn’t mind adding a few more! Wish I had your built-ins; mine would be entirely stuffed with books.
N Shirley says
Book me- I adore books and decorating books the most! Unfortunately books run me, not the other way around. I am pretty sure they jump down from the shelves and scatter themselves about while I am not looking. Unfortunately my husband loves books also so we have a hard time keeping them anywhere! BUT, we have a spare bedroom we have lined with Ikea Billie bookcases with glass doors and they mostly live there!
Alec Johnson says
BOOK ME!
I like to keep my books on a bookshelf in my bedroom. I can’t tell you how many nights I walk up to that bookshelf, pull out a book, and end up staying up way too late reading. I actually already have yours and Ana White’s books, but I’m sure that I could learn a thing or two from the others as well!
Lisa says
BOOK ME! I’m a library book junkie, so I typically return favorites, but a few treasures reside on a book shelf in the office. Thanks!
Loi says
BOOK ME! My favorite books live on my bright blue powder coated bookcase.
Marissa says
Book ME!!! All keep my favorites/ to reads on my dresser. The rest go in my expedit shelves.
Susie deGeneres says
Book me! Whatever book I’m currently reading lives on my nightstand….unless it is obnoxiously good then it lives in my purse where I can yank it out whenever I have a few extra minutes during the day!
Lindsay S says
Book me! Mine live on our built in bookcases in the living room – prime real estate!
Stesse says
BOOK ME! I happily admit that I am addicted to reading… Books would easily take over the house if my husband didn’t organize monthly death marches, err, housekeeping sessions. As far as I’m concerned – a favorite place for books is anywhere! But my most favorite place for a book is in my hands while I’m reading it.
Terry G says
Book me!
My favorite books go on a special bookshelf in my office.
Sarah Mc says
BOOK ME!
