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 sweet (and handy) husband worked the whole summer on building custom built-ins in our office so now we have a beautiful place to display all our favorite books and treasures. But these might need to get displayed front and center so guests have ample opportunity to be jealous :) Yay for your book!

    My husband says my book obsession is bordering on being a hoarder; we have them in every room and use them as decoration. We buy a coffee table book every time we see a new exhibit at a museum and those are my favorite and get special treatment:)

    BOOK ME, youngsters!

    We have a few special places (I LOVE to read and have so many books).

    Our entry, udner our wedding picture, has all our personal, meaningful books in a pretty stack: scrapbooks of our dating/married life, our wedding album, a book of love poems my husband bought me when we were “just friends.”

    We installed (after hand staining…took FOREVER) two bookshelves on either side of a window with a trunk in between for a window seat. The bookshelves hold all our fiction and nonfiction favorites (a LOT of books!). It’s my favorite spot in the house. You know how your bedroom nooks “made” your first house? That’s how I feel about these bookshelves.

    And then our design books are smack in hte middle of our coffee table for all to see! Which is where your book will go!

    Oh, and my latest reads and my journal are on our bedside tables, of course.

    “Book Me!” I keep all of my books on a bookshelf in our dining room {slightly unconventional, I know}, but I keep my favorites in the living room. They sit on top of our piano next to our big, comfy chair for quick access.

    Love design books and don’t have any of those! Would love to win!

    BOOK ME please! :-) Though I try to keep my books in our loft area on all the book shelves nicely organized, I definitely end up with a pretty massive pile right next to our living room couch so I have all my latest, greatest favorites (like YOUR book which should be arriving any minute to my house) right at my fingertips and for spontaneous moments of creativity :-)

    We are avid readers and we have so many books (all of them very precious and favorite in their own way), so they are pretty much everywhere. We just keep on buying bookcases and running out of space. Doesn’t make us stop buying books, though :-)

    Unfortunately my teeny NYC apt is too small to proudly display my favorite books so they get hidden in a cabinet. Luckily, we’ll be moving in June to a hopefully much bigger apartment or home and can’t wait to have some prime bookshelves!
