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!” We have books in almost every room, as my husband is a Philosophy professor. You should see his office! My special place for books is my night stand.
    Can’t wait to get my hands on your book.

    Books are super important at out house. We built special built-ins around our fireplace to hold them. Plus bookcases in all the boys rooms and always a big pile next to my bed.

    Book me! We recently moved into a new home–a real house!–and only the dedicated favorites came along for this ride. The remainder were either donated or given to friends. Hard for a lifelong bookie to do, but they still fill a couple bookshelves.

    BOOK ME! My wife and I have tried to downsize and declutter as much as possible (which has meant switching, largely, to digital reading materials), but we still have a small shelf in our living room that holds a few of our favorite print treasures.

    Book me! I like to read for a few minutes before going to sleep, so my current book is on my nightstand. I also like to read in the big chair in the living room so another book I’m currently reading is on the coffee table that is right in front of it. Yes, I am often reading more than one book at the same time. Most of our books are on two bookshelves in the family room but I believe in having books everywhere so the cookbooks are in the kitchen and we also have some coffee table books on the coffee table and then some others on side tables in the living room.

    I have so many books they are all over the place – 3 bookshelves in the living room, the nightstand drawers (and top!) in the bedroom, shelves in the hall closet, even two shelves in the kitchen for the tons of cookbooks I have. Needless to say, I’m definitely a bookworm!

    ohhh yes, I have quite the little book obsession- it drives my husband crazy & might just be the demise of our marriage haha!

    they live in little stacks & nooks around the house, but mostly on this giant custom bookcase/desk system that we designed & built together last year.

    so thrilled your book is out!!!! Congrats!
