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!

    Book(s) I’m currently reading go on the nightstand.
    Books that make me look smart/interesting go on the coffee table.
    Books that I’d be embarrassed if people saw (read: 50 Shades of Gray) go in the office bookshelf.
    Books that I’ve already read and are proud of (read: HARRY POTTER!) are in the living room bookshelves.

    BOOK ME! I think if there were ever a giveaway on your blog that I was destined to win, it would be this one. I love books! My husband’s grandfather just gave us the most awesome anniversary present- he made built-in bookcases across one whole wall of our living room, so we now have space and to spare for all our books. Before we had 6 bookcases scattered around the house. I hope I win these to add to our shelves!

    Our books “live” in a giant bookshelf in our tiny apartment for all to see. The husband is an avid history/sports/philosophy book junkie while I’m a collector of self-help/design/fiction books. They’re divided by color (and not subject) and so it’s always interesting to see my “It’s Not You, It’s Biology” next to my husbands, “Art of War.”

    Where I keep my books depends on their subject. Fiction is in one book case; knitting, sewing, and architecture in another; gardening in another; cooking in another, all dependent on which room makes the most sense to read it in.

My current reads sit on my nightstand, my favorites are high on the book shelf where the toddlers can reach, and my awesome cookbooks are on top of a kitchen cabinet (covered in a nice layer of dust albeit). I would love to have these books, especially the new book out by the Petersiks!!!

    BOOK ME! I would LOVE to see these books in our home! We are huge readers here and have books on shelves in the living room, in baskets on the coffee table, on both sides of our bed, next to our daughter’s bed (and she has her own bookcase of books), and even in the kitchen and dining room. Basically, we can convert our home into a small library any day now. Thanks so much for sharing!
