BOOK ME!!!
All my books are kept in a wall filled with bookcases in my office/library, but small pockets of them can be found all over the house, in end tables, nightstands, in my purse, etc.
Amanda says
BOOK ME! the book I am crushing on at any given moment always seems to follow me around whether that be on my nightstand, kitchen table, or deck :)
anne says
BOOK ME! I have a tiny bedroom I use as a library, complete with comfy sofa. :)
Norma Pennycuff says
Book me!
Our house is full of books which is weird because before crossing state lines last year we sold so many books and CD’s and DVD’s to a used book store we earned like $500. Which since they do buy back at like 25% what they hope to sell it for is kinda nuts. We have bookshelves in our classroom (yay home school!) and both kids have book space in their rooms then there’s the random bookshelves in other rooms. It’s kinda nuts really.
Richelle says
Book me! My favorites live on our entertainment center/bookshelves.
Sarah says
BOOK ME!!
I keep my favorite books scattered around my house… on various tables and shelves to add color and height
Sarah C. says
BOOK ME!
Our books are spread out across the house in more Expedit bookshelves than I’d care to admit to owning. Oh well. Someday we will be able to buy real furniture. :)
Heather says
BOOK ME!

BOOK ME!
Currently my favorite home deco books live on a little shelf in my living room in prime view. I love that they are on display as the covers and spines are so beautiful they add to any room on their own!
tae says
BOOK ME! I keep all of our hard cover books on display in our living room on a shelf and on our glass coffee table. I would treasure all of the wonderful tips and ideas in these books!
Carly G says
BOOK ME! We just moved into our first house, and it has pretty awesome built-ins in the family room. Perfects for lots of books!

BOOK ME!!! These books would look great on the new floating shelves library i’m making (inspired by Ana White floating shelves). My most current books live on my night stand. These can live there too :D
caseyj610 says
All books in my favorite series (Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon) are stacked in a tiered tall lamp we have, where the lamp legs have a few “shelves” contained between the legs. Gabaldon is a talented, creative author who knows how to tell such an enthralling story, and her books all have beautiful covers so they look great out on display!
Cheri Moser says
BOOK ME!!
We bought a house that has several goregous built in bookshelves. In fact, we don’t have enough books to fill them all!
Lynneth says
Book me! I’m a graduate student, so I have lots of books everywhere: on a bookshelf, on my desk, under my desk, on my nightstand, all over my apartment. But my special decorating books and magazines live in a nice basket under our coffee table.
Rachel says
Book me! My favorite books are on a bookshelf my great-grandfather stained and painted. The shelves are probably 90 years old, but still look amazing!

Thais says
“BOOK ME!”
I keep all my fave books including my photo albums and photo books made online in what I call the library. It’s an ikea bookshelf near a large picture window in my livingroom, but to me it’s my library.
Meghan says
Book Me!
Our books are still in cardboard boxes from a move, but they are slowly appearing in our new home.
Caitlyn says
BOOK ME!
My books live scattered everywhere! There is not a certain place I keep them because I am generally reading multiple books at a time. It is more convenient for me to grab one of the dining room table while I eat my cereal in the morning or to grab one off the console on my way out the door. I love to read and by having books all over the place, I hope that whoever comes over will randomly pick one up and share in my love of reading too!
Laura says
Book me! I keep all my favorite books on a shelf in my studio.
lizziebeth says
BOOK ME
I have to say, I don’t really have a special place to keep my books. In all honesty, I’ve just started getting into having books worth keeping. I am a big fan of borrowing from the library, so I don’t have to find a place to store books!
LB
Mary says
BOOK ME! I have a large collection which fills bookshelves. About half are favorites and half I haven’t read yet!
Jen says
Book me! We have built-in bookshelves in our office/den, but I might have to find a more special place for these.
caroline says
BOOK ME!
We found amazing bookcases with glass doors on craigslist and created a wall of three. Our tv sits on top and I love changing out all the decor inside. It includes books we love, like yours [that we got this week], and other books that are just for looks.
I really wanna win this one :x
Kristin B. says
Book Me!!!
I keep all our books on one ladder book shelf in the living room. But I have a feeling I’m going to have to find a new place for them seeing as to how my 7 month old is becoming quite the mobile little guy!
Jill says
Book me!!
Currently a lot of my books are in storage. But my favorites are currently on a bookshelf in my room!
Whitney says
BOOK ME!
All the pretty ones are on my living room bookshelf :)
Jessica Hughes says

Barbara says
BOOK ME! We keep most our books on shelves in our office, but the ones that we’re reading live on the nightstand.

BOOK ME!
My books live… everywhere! I have some in a window sill, some in a bookcase, some on a nightstand. They are such a huge part of my life that I want to be surrounded by them!

Great giveaway. My Amazon order of your book is on its way!! I’m so excited!!
Emily says
BOOK ME!
My favorite books live on my nightstand – Where I can grab them during the few minutes that a mommy gets to herself each evening. My “other” favorite books, that get read a lot more (aka, children’s books), live on the side table in the living room, where my little girl can grab them and bring them to us to be read.
Randi says
BOOK ME!!!! I have a pretty vertical display of books in my guest room. Any visitor can pick up a title if they need some reading material, and even take it with them so long as they leave a book in its place!
Katie says
BOOK ME! I have oodles of books so I don’t keep my (many) favorites separate. All the books live as equals in our library. :)
Katie says
BOOK ME! coffee table :)
Christa says
BOOK ME!
We keep our books in our library/living room and we have the perfect spot for 7 more ;)
Christa says
Book me!
Books are such loved friends at my house. They live in the library, but they have sleepovers frequently in every room of the house. Constantly changing decor!
