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.

    A couple years ago when we were redo-ing our office we invested in an awesome bookcase from Crate. All our nice books reside there now. :)

    Our family loves books, which we keep on a wall of bookshelves in our living room. We also have some Ikea wooden spice racks that we use as book holders in our daughters’ room.

    BOOK ME! My books usually have a loving home on multiple bookcases all around the house…at the moment, however, half the books are in Louisiana, a quarter in Georgia and the rest in storage here in California! The favorite books have a tiny bookshelf in my room-current reads are in bed with me!

    I have books scattered all around my home, I have some on my bedside table others on my desk and a bunch on the bookshelf. I like to leave the more inspirational books out where they are more visible.

    How appropriate, given that my copy of your book came today! I’m dying to finish work so I can begin reading it.

    My favorite books live in our expensive-looking (but from Target) bookcases, neatly arranged by height and size. The one I’m reading at any given moment lives in my purse for long commutes!

    I do also have a Kindle, so I keep that on my nightstand, but I love a “real” page-turner, too – e-books and paper books!

    We finally have enough bookshelves to put the books on in our house but now I kinda miss them hanging out on our side tables and easily pick-up-able off our nightstand. My favorite mags though are always out on one of our living room sidetables though. Great giveaway guys!

    My best, Lynn
    *glad to hear about your family making it through with their lives. Jersey City always gets flooded out, but this is something else I’m hearing. We are still trying to locate family up in Jersey and are planning on driving up either tomorrow or day after if we don’t hear back. I will keep your fam in my prayers.

    We have a floor to ceiling book case that houses lots of our books, but my favorite books usually stay on my night stand. If it is my current top pick, it lives in my purse until I’m done with it so I can always have it. That’s where your book will be living once I get it!

    My most treasured books are my grandmother’s Nancy Drew books. She read them when she was young, and I read her actual copies, too. She recently passed away, and I now keep those books on a side table in our dining room/kitchen so I can look at them every day.
