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 stacked on a plush ottoman or in the middle of the coffee table. I love to be able to see them and its interesting to see which books catch the eyes of our houseguests.

    I have a stack of books in each room of my house :)
    This summer I found a child sized school chair, painted & restained it and it now is my book stacking chair in the living room.
    Someday I’ll get an E-reader but I’ll always love the real deal!

    I have a travel book. I take it with me whenever I travel long distance, and I keep it in my carry-on or purse at all times. It’s my security blanket, so to speak. And it is… Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen. Yup!

    BOOK ME!! I absolutely love and cherish books (and am teaching my daughters to value them as well) and would love to have these as my first “design” books! I have a lovely bookshelf that is crying out to be rid of the Pottery Barn and Room & Board catalogs I keep on display *gasp*.
    I am also a HUGE fan of yours, and like you said a few blogs back, I would be one of those people that would freak out if I spotted you at Home Depot! Since I live in CA that isn’t likely to happen, so I would LOVE a little piece of the Petersik’s in my home.

    Oh I LOVE books!! I dream of having an entire library in my home… someday. For now my books are wherever I can fit them. Favorites are on my coffee table. I have plans to build a built-in window-seat/bookshelf/wall-cabinet in my master bedroom for all of my books and other goodies. The cabinets are sitting in my garage, waiting for me to get on it!

    All of my books live in the front room book case, many are in the basement for our yearly garage sale. I pick most of my books that way so it doesn’t feel bad when I let them go because they usually cost under a buck. My two favorite childhood books, I’ll keep forever: Tuck Everlasting and The Giver!

    My husband and I love to read and have collected quite a few books over the years. We recently decided to turn our front room (generally used as a formal living room) into a library and have been working on putting it together for the past few weeks. These books would fit right in and be well used!

    These lovelies would go on my bookshelf in my office! I know…not very original. I have three reading nooks tucked away throughout the house, so I keep all of the books in one place for all of those grab-and-read needs!

    Woot woot on a book release. I hope mine arrives today…

    We are in the process of revamping our Vegas condo, building bookshelves, light fixtures, & so much more. I love to display all my favorite books on unique shelving units & I also think a unique book is a great addition to a guest’s room. Everyone needs something to read as they fall asleep.
