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.

    The question isn’t where do I keep my books, but rather, where can you go in my house and not see my books? My bookshelf, coffee table, nightstand…. books are meant for sharing and enjoying.

    We keep the majority of our books in our study on a large bookcase, but we also have some on our coffee table, and a few on the mantle. My husband loves old books with a lot of history, so we have quite the colection!

    BOOK ME!!! I decided a while ago that I needed to pare down my book collection, which, as a librarian, was very very hard. Now I’m down to just the favorites, and they all live on one of those 4×4 IKEA Expidit shelves, which is perfect.

    BOOK ME! I don’t think I can say that books have just one special place in our home– they are in every single room. From the coffee table that houses special , photograph-heavy books in our living room to the sideboard in the dining room that is home to my cookbooks, to the stack of books on both sides of our beds and the giant bookcases full of them in our playroom and office– we are book lovers through and through. What a great giveaway!

    BOOK ME PRETTY PLEASE!!! I keep my mom’s dissertation on the bookcase in the living room so that every time I go by it (or she comes over) I’m reminded of how awesome she is. She finished her PhD while working full time and being a single mother to two kids. She’s my inspiration every time I think I’m never going to finish this degree.

    I’m such a book worm! You can usually find them all over my house! I have a huge bookshelf that holds the “read but want to keep”s and the “new and need to read”s. Then there’s the books on the coffee table and the book by my bed, usually on top of the Nook with other books in it! I would love to add every one these books to my collection! Crossing my fingers!
