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.

Thanks for the chance to win!
Elise says
BOOK ME! I live in a what I like to call charming, old house. My favorite feature is the built-in book cases, which I fill with all my favorites. These books would look great in them! :)

We store our favorite books in a cubby bookshelf that doubles as our tv console.

BOOK ME!
I keep my favorite books on a small bookshelf in my office. It’s the first room next to my front door so its the first thing you see. I love to share my books with friends :)
Diana says
BOOK ME!
My favorite books end up in a stack on the coffee table, or I place them in the guest room for visitors.
I haven’t heard of several of your picks – they look interesting!
Roxine says
Book Me — favorite book is on the ottoman where it’s handy. Just got an email from Amazon that my copy of your book has shipped! Can’t wait to see all the secret projects.

My books mingle on a regular ol bookshelf.

Miriam says
Book me! My husband has a 1300+ collection of books and graciously gave me one shelf of our six full size bookshelves and one half size shelf for my stuff. So all my books are squeezed in there (rolls eyes lol)
Jess says
Book me!!! My favorite books live on a shelf by the bathtub. Best place to read ever!!!
Bethany Skorich says
BOOK ME!!! (…please). We had built in bookshelves in our previous house and we loved having all of our books organized on the shelves. Currently, we are living with my parents while our house is being built, so the books are all in boxes. But in our *new* home (YAY!) we are planning on building a library in the front room and making it a den/office/library with floor to ceiling Ikea/built-in looking shelves! Can’t wait!
Sue says
Book Me!
Stefani says
BOOK ME! My books are everywhere! I have dreams of a beautiful floor to ceiling library, but for now they live mostly on bookshelves in the living room (and on my nightstand of course).
Emily says
BOOK ME!!!!!!! puh-please!
all my favorite books are in storage right now because I’m moving, BIG TEAR, so I would really love some awesome home decor reads to lift my spirits! :)
Valerie says
BOOK ME!
I have a special bookcase that is arranged by subject in the family room. Love all these fun options!
Jean says
BOOK ME!
I am a book hoarder – I have a shelf and a drawer in my night stand. I try not to allow them to overflow!
Shannon says
Book Me!! I can not wait to get my hands on your book and would love to add others to my collection! I keep all my books on book shelves in our living room. I have an affliction for hard cover books, so I tend to buy everything hardcover, looks so much nicer on the shelves :)
Brian T says
BOOK ME! My favorite book is in my backpack to read on the way to work.
Andria says
BOOK ME!
I keep my favorite books in the living room. Most of them live on a “bookcase” that I found at a garage sale in my hometown – a guy had made it from some leftover copper piping! I like to keep my favorite design and/or travel books where I can see them and others can see them – and where I can randomly pick one up and page through it. I am SO EXCITED to add Young House Love to my collection tomorrow!
Kathryn says
Book me! I keep books I covet or am currently reading in my book in the office. High enough kids can’t reach them, but super close to my favorite spot to read!
Jessica says
BOOK ME!
I love decorating with books. On our self in the living rooms works great for me!
Melissa Mitchell says
BOOK ME!
I use books as elements of design as well- my bookshelves in my office have books grouped by hardback/paperback and then in rainbow order.. I have a LOT of books so I have quite the spectrum of color… reminds me of this pin I’ve always loved…. http://pinterest.com/pin/32580797273745479/
Elizabeth McKinney says
BOOK ME!! My rather large collection of books is on my bookshelf in my family room and a select few are on my Kindle.
Audrey says
BOOK ME!
on my newly painted built in bookshelves!
Meghan says
Book me! I’ve got SEVERAL bookshelves… but my living room built-ins are the prime location.
Jeania says
BOOK ME! As an English major, I have quite a collection of books on bookcases and built-ins throughout the house. Even the foot board of our bed is a bookcase full of books. My favorite way of displaying them, is on wall mounted brackets that make them look like they are floating.
Megan Foard says
BOOK ME! We have two huge, 7ft tall bookshelves that are overflowing. We need a third. I love a wall of books!
Carolyn says
BOOK ME!
I just have a bookshelf where I house all my books (boring, I know). All my favorites reside there.
Heidi says
BOOK ME!
I’m actually a big fan of the public library because I read so much and checking out books from the library really keeps my book costs down to a minimum. However, those precious books that do make their way into my house stay on my bookshelves either in my living room or in my office.
Samantha Severson says
Book me!
Whatever book I am enjoying at the moment follows me around. It goes in my car, on my bedside table etc. But we keep books all over our house, that way if you ever get stuck in a room, you have something to read.
Mallory says
Book me! Right now all my books are in storage, but they will fill a bookcase or four when we finally move into our new house!
Brady says
BOOK ME!
Living in a small space doesn’t allow for a ton of book room (some day I will have a library a la Beauty & the Beast) so only my favorites get to stay with us. I have one bookshelf where my favorite books live and the rest either get donated or sent to my parents’ house. I prefer real books to the Kindle but that is one giant plus to the Kindle – less book weight added to our boxes when moving!
Cindy says
BOOK ME!
We have books everywhere, but the ones we go back to over and over (or are currently reading) have a particular shelf so we can get to them easily.
Cool giveaway!
Kami Buchanan says
BOOK ME! I have Nate’s new book on my dresser iny bedroom with two of my favorite things from his collection. I’m waiting for your book to come in to add! Hope I win them all!
Krista Lee says
BOOK ME! Usually on my bookshelf after reading it thoroughly, but if it’s pretty it can linger on the coffee table for quite some time!
Katie says
BOOK ME! My fave books currently live on my nightstand, but I’m always trying to find ways to mix books into my home decor.
Jenn says
Book ME!
Books are kept on the top shelf of our master closet. It was the only place I could find that wouldnt tip over and crush our kids, LOL
Jenae says
book me!! I have a brand new coffee table right in front of our fireplace that is just begging for some new books!
Page says
BOOK ME! I keep mine by my favorite chair.
Justine says
Book me! I keep my favorite books on my nightstand, although I rotate through them quite frequently.
