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! I recently moved all my books to a cube bookshelf and arranged them all by color. Makes me smile every time I look at it. Would love this prize – these books would totally help solve the dry spell I’ve been having in terms or decorating/figuring out what the heck to do around the house!

    Would love to put them on our coffee table, but w/ 4 little ones, higher up on our shelving unit would probably be where they’d go if I get lucky.

    Thanks for the opportunity!

    BOOK ME!

    My house is so full of books. My favorite fiction books are in a bookshelf in my bedroom, so they’re there when I need a book to read before bed. All my other books are distributed between the 3 bookcases in my office, and the 3 bookcases in my husband’s office. Sometimes I need to check all three rooms to find the book I’m looking for. :)

    I keep my books in a refurbished kichen cabinet. My dad and I refinished a cabinet that used to live in my grandmother’s house! It’s huge, but that’s great because I am an English teacher–I have accumulated lots of books, as you can imagine!

    I’m such a book nerd! Always have been. I have shelves full in my office/guest room but my favorites live on a special shelf in the living room. Fingers are still crossed that I will meet an amazing man (sugar daddy?) who will surprise me with a library a la “Beauty in the Beast.” Hey a girl can dream right? :)
