She believes “all good book nerds have them in all parts of the house!”). Congrats Melissa!

Sarah says
Book me! My husband and I LOVE books. Most of our special books are in our living room, but we do keep a lot of books on a bookshelf in our bedroom as well.
Mariam says
BOOK ME! I wish I had a special place, but all of my favorites are scattered throughout our numerous bookshelves!
Kasey M. says
“BOOK ME!”
We have what I like to call a “pew” couch. It’s got this interesting little shelf along the back for a few favorite books to live, just like the shelf behind a church pew which holds your bible and hymns. That’s where I keep my favorite/most frequently referenced craft & cook books as well as a few favorite novels.
Kim says
Book Me! I keep them on my nightstand.
liz hanna says
Book Me! Our living room coffee table!
Abby says
I love organizing our vast book collection in two giant IKEA expedits. These gorgeous and simple shelves allow me to walk up, yell BOOK ME, and grab a great read. (I also sort them by color for a fun layer of design in those awesome expedit cubes. LOVE.)
Jamie H says
BOOK ME! We have a ton of books, but our favorites are in the bookcase in our living room for easy access. :o)
Denise says
“BOOK ME! to my coffee table…please!
kat says
BOOK ME!
Books go everywhere in my home! But pretty books that can be lined up between cool bookends are a definite bonus :)
Justine Weber says
BOOK ME!!! We have a grouping of shaky bookcases that hold our large, beloved book collection. Fun fact: over a third of our collection is made up of bird books! (Yeah, we’re nerds.)
Dee says
Book Me!
My favorite books, yours included, are on my coffee table. I already have a copy of your book, but would prefer to win a signed one!
Diana Friedman says
I keep my books on the second shelf of my bedside table or organized by color in my book shelf (yes, I am that person) :0)
Holly says
BOOK ME!
A top shelf in our library room. Seems I’m “greedy” and like to keep them just out of reach of people who may be browsing when they visit
andrea says
BOOK ME!
my books are everywhere! they make me smile. can’t wait to read yours!
Claudia says
BOOK ME!! My pretty books have major real estate in my coffee table!! I love this giveaway! :)
Ang says
BOOK ME! Most of our books live on a lower shelf on a console table in our family room, but I have a few artfully stacked in the headboard, which has built-in shelves (something I never would have thought of if not for YHL!).
Katie says
Book Me! I have a tiered end tabel these would look fabulous on! Would love some decorating books.
Caroline says
Aptly timed giveaway as your book just arrived from amazon! Hooray! I was wondering how did you decide who’s name went first?
Book me!
Adrienne says
Book Me!! The majority of our books live primarily in the library off our living room…but they seem to spread throughout the house. Your book came in the mail on Saturday though, and that one is currently living on the side table next to the couch. I sat and read through all of it Saturday afternoon (insert sheepish smile and shrug here). Best spent Saturday afternoon for awhile.
Cathy says
Book Me! My favorite books are currently tucked away in my closet out of the reach of my super destructive toddler. Eventually they’ll be able to return to our bookshelf.
Christy Davis says
Book Me! My collection moves around. Currently it is in the bookshelves around the fireplace but sometimes is in my sewing room.

BOOK ME!!!!
I am so happy that books have started using color instead of white or tan or black covers. It makes them art for your home and I keep them everywhere! Coffee tables, book shelves, next to my bed, stacked on my desk….instant inspiration.
Even if I didnt win this totally awesome prize, I am happy to have a few more book recommendations :)
sarah says
Book me!
And they are everywhere. But I’m planning a booksale in the spring, to clear out and raise money for a birth centre in Uganda, a lifesaving project I had the privilege of visiting earlier this year.

Jen W. says
BOOK ME! I have a bookshelf in my living room that holds my favorite books.
Charlotte says
BOOK ME! My books all live in an overcrowded bookcase. There are expansion plans in the works. I already have your book ordered, but a signed copy would be awesome, plus lots of the other books are still on my wish list!
Valerie says
Book Me! Instead of a formal living room, we’re building in shelves and calling it the library.
Paige says
Book me! I only have a couple of good places to house my special books. One is a built-in vertical shelving unit that we built in next to our fireplace. The other is a shelf made out of barn wood from my husband’s great-grandparents’ homestead. And coming soon- our new Vallvik bookcase from IKEA that we purchased just this past weekend! We are putting it together tonight in hopes of having a little more room to house our books. Want to help us fill it up?
Jordan says
Book me! I have books all over the house but my favorites live in my living room bookshelf. Others reside in the basement, my nightstand and sometime even my purse. Total bookworm here!
Meggan says
BOOK ME! I can’t believe I’m actually the first comment. Maybe that’s a glitch… Anyway, I am usually reading anywhere from 3-10 books at a time, so they live all over my house. I have at least 5 large bookcases full of books, and I am sure my collection will only grow.
Meg G. says
Book Me! What a great addition these would make to my collection! I keep most of my books on one main bookshelf but my favorites end up on my nightstand so I can page through them before bed.
Meredith says
Book Me!
I keep my books on several bookcases and shelves around the house!
Shayla says
BOOK ME, por favor!
Usually our faves live on the bookcase in our office, but sadly they are all still packed away in boxes from our recent move. Although, Happier at Home is on my nightstand right now (and I’m frantically trying to finish it before it’s due back to the library tomorrow!).
Stacie says
Book me! All of my most favorite books live together on the eye-level shelf of my bookcase! And every once in awhile one will migrate to the coffee table.
Whitney says
BOOK ME!!!
I have so many books, all of them have been read too! They reside everywhere. next to my bed, my couch, my kitchen, my laundry room. you name it, there is a book there! who says you can’t read and fold laundry all at once!
Tara says
Book me! As we’ve moved toward electronic books, the ones we keep in the house are the ones we really love. That means we put them in our den, in a visible set of shelves, where we can find them whenever we want!
Kiley Louis says
BOOK ME!
My favorite book The Long Way Gone is tucked safely in my nightstand drawer. All my craft/ food magazines are housed on the shelves below. When i get bored i re-read them:) I would love to have all the books you are giving away, but especially psyched about yours(which i totally plan on buying anyway)! Love you guys!
Emily says
BOOK ME!! I have a collection of signed books :-)
My favorite books are EVERYWHERE – every room of the house, including my car and purse…books are too fun to only keep in one location!
Angela says
“BOOK ME!”
Ana says
BOOK ME!!! One day I will have a great built in book shelf and that is where they will live. For now though, they live on my entry table, my night stand, in baskets and drawers… basically everywhere!
Jenn says
Book me!
I keep my books on display, mostly. After moving across the country a few times plus the addition of a kindle in my life, my hard cover books have been reduced to the REALLY GOOD ONES so I love showing them off!
sarita says
BOOK ME!
We don’t have a lot of storage space, so they pretty much keep to our shelf…but when I am working on a few books, they park it next to the couch.
Emma S. says
Book Me! My special books go on the coffee table in the living room so I am sure to flip through them.
Meghan says
Book Me!
My husband and I just bought 3 ikea bookshelves for our bedroom to fill up with books.
erin says
BOOK ME!!! I’ve got bookcases on top of bookcases. But I think I keep most of my books at friend’s and family’s houses because they never return my darling babies!
Lynn says
BOOK ME! Some books reside on my coffee table, others are on a side board in my dining room, and still some others (the ones that aren’t pretty) live on our bookshelf in the living room–with the covers flipped inside out a’la YHL :) “You alright!! I loearned it by watching YOU!” :)
Karina says
BOOK ME!!!
I keep prized books in a bookshelf organized by subject and then by the size of the book.
Danielle says
My night table is literally covered in books. I love always having a good read within arms reach before bed.
Rachel L. says
BOOK ME! My general collection lives in bookshelves, which may or may not be color-coded (they completely are). My current fave lives next to my bed and my especially pretty ones live on the table in the front hall.
meaghan says
BOOK ME! Anything that I love ends up on my bedside table for months, only to be moved when the stack gets too precarious.
Casey says
BOOK ME!
My new favorite books always live on the coffee table for a good while. Eventually, they move to the side table, and later, to the bookshelf. Gradually, they all end up in our continuously growing library. #booklovers
