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.

    We have a large set of built-in bookcase in our kitchen. That’s where the majority of our books are. My kindle and other books I’m currently reading lay on a small table in my reading nook of my bedroom.

    I keep books everywhere…nightstand, book shelf, kitchen counter, in my purse, etc. My current read travels with me pretty much wherever I go, while my favorites get prime locations like the coffee table.

    BOOK ME! I love the little built-in bookshelf my husband created at the top of our stairs when we renovated our second floor. We have a tiny house, and this little square ‘landing’ also serves as the ‘hallway’ linking our bedroom to our son’s nursery. In fact, William’s room is so small that we put the glider out next to the bookshelf, and it’s a lovely spot to sit and nurse him in the mornings and evenings.

    BOOK ME! I have a glass-top coffee table that I picked up at a garage sale a couple years ago and a black trunk I bought at target that *just* fits underneath the table. I placed some of my favorite (or prettiest) books in the space between the trunk and the glass table top. Unfortunately the coffee table is usually covered with school work so you can’t even see the books! I also have books on display in a bookcase in my dining room and books in “storage” under my bed. I’m a librarian. I have a lot of books.

Now I have all my favorites and a bunch from the library right at my fingertips when I’m looking for that nightly read. I would love to add these ones to the collection :)
