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! Most of mine are on the bookshelf, but I have several that I use stacked underneath decorative items. I’d love to cram a whole bunch into our non-working fireplace someday.

    Book me! I’m a graduate student, so my job is to read. Basically books are taking over my apartment. They are in every room and I even have a pile accumulating in my bed. Not my most brilliant idea. But I’m always eager to have more!

    My favorite places to keep books in my home is…. are you kidding?! There are books EVERYWHERE in my home. The more appropriate question is, “What’s your favorite way to organize your books?” And to that, I would respond “by color.”

    Cheers! :)

    My favorite books are hidden away right now. I have 2 boys that tend to think anything left out on a table or shelf is there for their enjoyment (books make good skates on fluffy carpet). One day though, one day.

    Well, I’m in student housing, so sadly, my books are in crate in my room :( But, when I graduate my dream apartment would have built in shelves with exposed brick in my living room, and that is where I would display my books. Along with some ceramic animals and mix-matched picture frames, of course!

    My best books are in my favorite place in my house – my cozy bedroom! It’s in the second floor of my house and in a place where no one can see but me. It’s a little secret I keep and I live seeing them because they make me smile. Besides, I’ll be in or near my bed when reading them – what a great time to relax! Love you both!
