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 just moved, so currently we have a number of book in boxes. Hoping to tackle some bookshelves around Christmas to give them a proper home…these books would help us jump start on building and decorating bookshelves as well as the rest of our home. :)

    My special ones (aka, my YHL book) gets the prime location of the coffee book. I would love to have a book shelf devoted to all of our nice books, not my Babysitter’s Club collection series from the 90’s.

    BOOK ME! I keep books all over the house! I love books! I have the bookshelf full, of course, but keep some of my favorites on the coffee table. I keep older books as a more decorative item on the bookshelf, but out front. I keep them also on my craft desk up top as decor. The ones I am reading are either with me (in my bag) or on the bedside table. Can’t wait to add yours to my collection!

    My books currently live in 3 Billy bookcases in our 2nd bedroom, which is more of a library considering the sheer amount of books taking up its space. They are all also lovingly (or anal-retentively) organized by genre and then by author.

    Most of my great books live on two shelves that stretch across an accent wall in my bedroom, BUT my most current tops reads are usually around on the floor by my bed — yes messy I know, but completely accessible.

    Usually keep my current reads on my nightstand and on the end table in the living room. I’m a huge reader! We have many, many, many bookcases scattered throughout the house.
