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.

    My husband and I like to keep our books in the main living room. He makes sure they are all organized well – and that the ones that best display his personality are on show.

    Even though our apartment is tiny, huge portions of each room are dedicated to our large, and growing, book collection. The most beloved copies get a place of honor on the built-in shelves in the living room.

    We just moved and don’t have homes for all of our books yet. But we are currently in the process of building a pipe and and reclaimed wood shelving unit to cover an entire wall in our bedroom. Once that’s done our books will have a place to live. We hope they appreciate all the effort that is going into their new home. :)

    BOOK ME!! What a fabulous give-away! All the better for YOUR book.

    I keep my books anywhere they’ll fit. I started building my collection as a kid (Scholastic, anyone?). I now own 3+ full-sized bookshelves worth of books. No idea how many… and this does not include the other books I had as a kid that are still mixed in with my parents. So I have books by my bedside, books in the living room, books at my desk, books in boxes that have yet to find a home…

    My books are all around the house- there are just too many to be contained in my tall bookshelf! My very favorite books are kept in a vintage wine(?) crate that sits on our craft table, unless they are too big in which case they go on our luggage chest/coffee table.
