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! If I have a favorite book I have to hide it in my bedroom because my kids seem to have a knack for figuring out which ones are my favorites and using them for anything and everything they aren’t supposed to be used for.

    I am a bibliophile, so I have SEVEN bookcases scattered throughout the house (I promise it doesn’t look like a hoarder lives there). I forced myself to donate some recently, so I have plenty of space for these new additions to live. :)

    BOOK ME! My favorite books are all around our house. The current faves are on my nightstand, others are stashed in a giant wooden bowl in our guest room, and a few of the prettier ones are on our coffee table propped up in the longer slat of a wooden carpenter’s toolbox that was my grandfather’s. YOUR book would definitely get it’s own prime time spot, though!

    My books live in a little bookcase in my front room and a box in my storage unit (sad face for books in a box).

    Hope to get another bookshelf soon to house all of the ones that are boxed up!

    My favorite books are stored on the shelves of our built-in bookcase in our living room/den. (We painted the built-in shelves trim white and the backing a deep sea blue. Because you know, I was so inspired by some folks ’round here)

    We have books all over the place: mainly in the bookcase in the living room, but you can find the ones we are currently reading under the bed, on the dining table or coffee table, in the (ahem) bathrooms. My favorite ones are nicely displayed in the bookcase though.

    Book me! If I had a bookcase, that is where I would stash my goody reads. Sadly, no such bookcase for me in the house exists. Maybe one day…. As of now, my books (mostly Geography/Science textbooks from college) are stored in my unfinished basement with the rest of my one day finished basement goodies. Thanks for offering such a great offer and congratulations on your awesome book and corresponding tour!

    BOOK ME! I love being surrounded by books, though in the most organized way possible. Bought a beautiful bookshelf a few months ago that is in our den – it’s organized by backing, color, and size.. Other books are thrown around the house, as I’m always in the middle of at least three.
