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 favorite books live on my desk, between two white ceramic horse head book ends that were my great-grandmother’s. She was a book lover, and so is her daughter (my Grandmother), and so am I!

    I loove books and can’t wait to add yours to the collection. Since I am a tired teacher/mom I use my decorating books to refresh myself and inspire me. I have them on my bookshelf, console table by the door, all my cottage themed ones under a distressed lantern on my entertainment center. Even the titles inspire me to do little projects around the home. I don’t ever want to be finished decorating as I love little inexpensive changes.

    Fancy, pretty books (like yours!) go in our special antique china cabinet/bookcase or on our industrial bookshelves in the office. All other well-loved (and less pretty) books go in a basic bookcase upstairs that is currently BUSTING at the seams.

    Would LOVE to add some more pretties to the collection for the coffee table!

    My books are all kept on bookshelves in my office. We got a bunch of the Billy bookcases from IKEA and put them together to look like built-ins. I’ve always wanted floor-to-ceiling bookshelves! Though these days, my Kindle and I are best friends, to be honest. :)

    Our books are all in our bookcases that flank our fire place. I have a Kindle as well, but the ones I truly love are also purchased in ‘real’ versions. My husband and I LOVE books!!!
    By the way, my Young House Love book arrived in the mail today. I’m working from home so it’s all I can do to wait until 5 pm to tear into that puppy!!!

    BOOK ME! I have some books on my nightstand, and some in the living room. Otherwise, we have a “library” room with a chair and two big bookshelves in our house. I’d love to have a huge room with built in bookshelves, a librarian ladder attached to the bookshelves, and lots of oversized chairs. Oh! And a fireplace, too.
