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!” and MY NEW BOOK CAME TODAY!! I pre-ordered from Amazon and was SOOOO excited to open that box up! Congratulations! I can’t wait to dive into it! As for the special place, I have a beautiful black library table from Ballard Designs that occupies a spot in my living room and only the best books go there: Home Comforts by Cheryl Mendelson, some art books, the current Harry Potter daddio is reading to number 3, the complete FarSide Collection, and now my new YHL book. Woot woot!

    Book me! Most of my books live on a bookshelf in our living room. A few favorites tend to spend quite a bit of time on my nightstand, though, and well-loved cookbooks are generally found on the kitchen counter top, inevitably with dough or sauce drippings across the pages.

    The books I’m currently reading and a few favorites live in my bedside table, which is actually a bookcase. (We have tall beds.) Anyway, the rest of our books, and we have a lot, live either in the office which also serves as our library or in the large bookcase in our living room. I ain’t kidding when I say that we have a lot of books.

    We have books all over the house because we love them . . . but my favorite idea for storing them so far is to put half of an antique trunk up on our son’s nursery wall to hold some of his books. :)
