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 are in the study, which has somewhat limited bookshelf space as it was intended for as a quasi-craft room.

    BOOK ME!

    I keep all of our books on a bookshelf in our (tiny) living space, so they’re on display yet organized. I’ve mixed in little findings from our travels, like shells and cute knick knacks and totally agree with Nate B. on the fact that things do matter :) Would love to have his book, not to mention the rest of the stack in your giveaway.

    PS. I’m going to your book signing on Wednesday in Boston!! I probably spend more time than I should perusing the shelves of the Fenway West Elm, and I can’t believe that you two will be there this week! Yay!

    I have books proudly displayed throughout my house – many of these classic books came from the library of my grandfather. When I see them among my favorite things I can picture his library, his chair and most importantly him.

    BOOK ME! My favorite books either follow me around the house from room to room never getting put away (your book is currently in this category) or they live dead center on the wall-to-wall shelve in the living room.

    BOOK ME! Books I reach for all the time are on my bedside table. The current read(s) and the all-time favs. Longtime loves (no, I can’t walk out of a book store empty-handed…) are placed on the built-ins on either side of the fireplace that I asked my wonderful husband to make for me as my American Christmas-Russian Christmas-birthday gift several years ago.

    As a self-describe book nerd, my books are EVERYWHERE. On the nightstand, on the coffeetable, in the kitchen, piled on the bookshelves in the office, and, most recently, stacked on a fun hanging shelf that the boyfriend made for me.

    I think the YoungHouseLove creation would look lovely on my coffee table…then I could show it off to everyone who comes into the house! ;)
