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 favorite books used to live on the coffee table before I had a little one who’s favorite activities include pulling books/magazines off of the coffee table and/or ripping pages from them, so now they live on our kitchen table. It’s close by the couch and out of his reach (for now).

    Book Me!!

    I am getting quite a collection of bookshelves going at my house… I try to add candles or bookends or a ceramic animal along the front of each row of books. I’m not great at the styling yet, but I want the books to be in the main room, not hidden in a storage space, so I’m doing my best to make them the center of attention!

    We just purchased our first home, and I set up our books last night! We have a corner leaning bookcase, but I like to decorate with books all around the house, putting a few in each room. Under lamps, on coffee tables..

    I selected my and my husband’s favorite all time books and have those on our coffee table, and conversation starters in the den.

    I use my decor books as decor themselves. In our old house, they were stacked like a statue on our sofa table bringing color to the room. In our current apartment, they are stacked inside of a glass bookcase so I can see them.

    BOOK ME! – we love to keep our book collection (yours now included!) up on a high shelf, now that our little 14 month old loves flicking texts across the room. However, we do keep our sons book collection at his level so he can pick and choose his reading selection as he chooses!

    I don’t have a place to keep my favoites. A god book is meant to be shared. I read it then share it and ask the person I gave it too to pass it on.

    It may take me a little longer to pass on a how to book. I first reference it to learn then once I got a handle of it, then I pass it on.

    BOOK ME! Books I’m reading rotate! On my nightstand at first (like my pre-order of your book which arrived on Friday!). Then they migrate to the coffee table or a buffet for stacking…and maybe get used on a bookshelf.

    I usually keep my favorite books on a book shelf in the hallway right outside the Master Bedroom in our house. I’m kind of afraid to put them out on the coffee table or side table cause I don’t want them to get accidentally spilled on! :)
