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.

    Books are a huge part of my life. My husband and I collect signed first editions and have amassed quite a collection. We have two bookshelves dedicated solely to our signed firsts. We keep them away from direct sunlight so that the spines/covers won’t fade.

    As a PhD Comparative Literature student my apartment is full of books, pretty much covering every corner but my most special one, a copy of “Little Women”, sits on my desk. I glance at it everyday as it reminds me of my love for books and readings even when I’m the most tired of reading!

    We have an awesome wall of bookshelves in our family room area. We used the IKEA cube-like shelves and stacked them to cover the entire wall. I love it and have renamed the family room the library – too bad my husband hasn’t caught on with the new name.

    BOOK ME!! Unfortunately my books live in a bunch of boxes in my basement until we move. After that, I hope they will be diplayed on coffee tables and book shelves in an office. Althought I already bought your book and got it in the mail this past weekend (and am TOTALLY!!!loving it so far) I would LOVE a signed copy as you’re not doing any book signings in my area!

    BOOK ME! All of my books live on one giant bookcase in my bedroom. As an English major, I’ve gathered quite the collection and now have come to do a half vertical, half horizontal arrangement to fit them all! I’m sure I could find room for a few more, though… :)

    Book me! We have a ton of books, and they get stashed all over the place in a semi-functional manner. We don’t have a special spot for favorites, but you can usually tell the favorites because they’re the ones out of place because they’re being read!

    BOOK ME! We have 2 build in book cases in our living room and mine lives on one of them (the other holds family and friends photos and a few special trinkets). I always take off the cover when I read a book, or before I let anyone borrow them. I only started reading regularly about 4 years ago (Twilight got me hooked) so I am very protective over my books.
