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 have two book cases in my living room that I display all of my books on, and my favorites are grouped together by theme. Whenever someone comes over for the first time, they usually ask “so who’s the reader?” as they scan the shelves and comment on what they have/haven’t read. This book worm loves it!

    I keep books absolutely everywhere. My husband and I are voracious readers, so our house is littered with books of all kinds. I keep my “book of the moment” on my nightstand, but you can’t really walk through our house without tripping over a couple!

    I keep books that make me happy on my bedside table. There are probably so many other more functional uses for that space, but seeing books there, that I love to read or look at fills me with joy. So if my lippy and glasses need to live somewhere else, so be it.

    PS – Ahhhhhhhhhhhdore Nate Berkus!

    BOOK ME!! To answer where I keep my favorite books, all of the above! My nightstand, in the built-in shelves around our fireplace, on our credenza/sideboard in the main/family room, another shelf in our basement/playroom. I saw your presentation in Cincinnati (got my book signed (yay!), also the Novogratz book!) and just received a copy of the one I pre-ordered from you when you announced your book was ready! So, if I win, I will have some of my Christmas shopping done! Thanks!

    Book me!!! I would love to have an amazing library filled with books and magazines…but with an active two year old, we use the end table in our bedroom as our storage space. My two year old has made a career out of ripping pages from our favorite books and magazines.

    Book me! I keep my books on a bookcase behind my armchair. Easy to reach for me but out of reach for the little member of the family who just likes the sound of paper crinkling. It is a favourite spot to sit any time of day and inspiring authors literally backing me up.
