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 books live in the office, the living room, my bedroom, my nightstand, the front porch…I’ve got a lot of them! My favorites live in my bed room on an Ikea shelf (the one with 2 squares by 6 squares) which also hold knickknacks and stacks of decorating magazines. It’s nice to sleep surrounded by inspiration.

    My current favorites (the ones I’m currently reading) are stacked all over the house (they tend to migrate) but eventually end up on the bookshelves.

    My decorating books (and magazines) have a special place in our living room. I would love to add these books to my collection!

    My favorite books are scattered throughout my house. Some on a bookshelf near our entryway, some on the fireplace mantle in the living room, and some on my nightstand. I like always having a good book near!

    BOOK ME!

    Right now, we don’t have a ton of special books, but in the past, we’ve kept the best of the best either on the coffee table or one of the end tables in our living room. We also tend to keep the most dog-eared editions on our bedside tables. :) I have a feeling THESE amazing books would score a spot on our mantel or hearth though – inspiration to get designing and DIYing!

    My husband and I have a bookshelf in the living room, and there’s a stack on my nightstand, and some on the kitchen shelf, and on the floor by my favorite chair, and…well, you get the point. I think we (I) may have a problem! Oh, and I also have a Nook (for my fiction reads), so these are only our reference/nonfiction books. :)

    BOOK ME! I have my most loved books on shelves in our living room, but sadly our current apt does not have enough space for all my books so some of my lesser favs are in boxes still. I promise if I win these will be proudly displayed in the house. :)
