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.

    My husband and I are SUCH book worms! We use IKEA bookshelves as our entertainment center – just because we have SO MANY BOOKS. But alas, of those listed here, I only have yours and would LOVE to have the rest!

    BOOK ME! My books usually reside on my bookcase but my favs of the moment shine on a tray table on top of the coffee table.

    PS Can’t wait for my book to come in the mail! Pre-ordered a while back and can’t wait!! Safe travels on the book tour…fingers are still crossed for a Philly visit!

    We keep all of our books on bookcases that line the walls in the office, which gives it a library feel that is warm and comforting.

    BOOK ME! I keep my books on Expedit Bookcases – one in my office, one in the basement. I try to keep them pretty and organized by theme AND colour. To hide ugly ones, I hacked my bookcase with painted canvases: http://dans-le-townhouse.blogspot.hu/2011/11/my-artful-ikea-expedit-hack.html

    I’d love to add these gorgeous ones! Thanks for this great contest and congrats on the success with your book.

    My favorites have a special spot on the bookshelf near my desk, stacked neatly with a cute little clay kitty and unicorn that a very good friend of mine made. They hold up my journals for various writing projects, so I will see them every day.
