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!!! My favorite books get a place on the bookcase in the living room. There is a small stack, but I am hoping to make it larger soon as a bunch of my favorites I only have on the kindle. I want to purchase the hardback versions though.

    Our books are all over the house on many, many bookshelves…and on end tables…and chairs…and wherever else we can find a spot for them.

    We have a bunch of bookshelves in our apartment – one in each bedroom and one in the kitchen (for cookbooks, of course). Coffee-table books live on the coffee table or in the stands under the TV! And I also have about 30 books on my Kindle :)

    We have a bookcase in the living room that holds (some carefully edited) knick-knacks and only my very favorite books! And, because I’m a giant nerd, there MIGHT be an entire shelf dedicated to the Harry Potter series… :-)

    Normally, my favorite books live on a bookshelf that matches the furniture that was in my bedroom. Since I moved a couple of months ago, the books are boxed up in the den awaiting the bedroom being painted! I miss them!

    As of right now all of our books (including my Phd candidate fiance’s multitue of history books) are stored on a few boring book shelves in our great room. I’m trying to talk him into more creative storage! This collection of books would be great to help me figure out how to revamp the boring shelves! (And look fab on our coffee table!)

    My favorites are in a bookcase in what we call our “formal” living room (really only formal because there’s no Tv in it). Perfect spot to snuggle up beside the fire and be inspired inspiration.
